1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.

Any notice that fails to comply with above requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon us actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident.

Your written copyright infringement notice must be sent to Unique Coloring’s designated copyright agent via mail, fax or email. 

Please note that, for security reasons, email attachments may be blocked, so please do not include any attachments if you send your notice via email.
