and could be subject to criminal prosecution for perjury.

Upon receipt of a valid claim Total Online Solutions, Inc. will follow the procedures
provided in the DMCA which prescribe a notice and take down procedure,
subject to the user's or webmaster's right to submit a
Counter-Notification claiming lawful use of the disabled works. Total Online Solutions, Inc.
will have the disputed material removed from public view. Total Online Solutions, Inc. will

material that has been removed or disable access to that material.
How to Make a Counter-Notification.
If you are a Total Online Solutions, Inc. user or webmaster and you feel that the material
you have placed online that has been removed following an infringement
complaint Notification is in fact not an infringement, you may file a
Counter-Notification. Section 512(g)(3) of the DMCA requires that to be
valid, the Counter-Notification must be written and addressed to our
Copyright Agent and must provide the following information taken from
the statute:
- A physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which
access has been disabled and the location at which the material
appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith
belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake
or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you
consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial
district in which the addressee is located, or if your address is
outside the United States, for any judicial district in which you may
be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person
who provided Notification under Subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of
such person.
- Our Designated Agent will present your Counter-Notification to the
person who filed the infringement complaint Notice. Once your
Counter-Notification has been delivered, Total Online Solutions, Inc. is allowed under the
provisions of Section 512 to restore the removed material in not less
than ten or more than fourteen days, unless the complaining party
serves notice of intent to obtain a court order restraining the
restoration

to be repeat infringers. Further, Total Online Solutions, Inc. has the discretion to handle
non-compliant Notices in whatever manner appears to be reasonable under
the given circumstances.
