We may request additional information before we remove any infringing material. If we request additional information necessary to make your DMCA notice complete, please provide that information promptly. If you fail to comply, your DMCA notice may not be processed further. If a dispute develops as to the correct owner of the rights in question, we reserve the right to remove your content along with that of the alleged infringer pending resolution of the matter.
