When removing allegedly infringing Materials and/or User Generated Content from our Website, PBG will make reasonable attempts to inform our Website user of the removal, the reason for the removal, and may provide our Website user with a copy of the notice and the notifying party’s contact information.
- Removal of Allegedly Infringing Material
Once a proper Infringement Notification is received by the Designated Agent, PBG may remove or disable access to the Materials and/or User Generated Content infringes the identified intellectual property. If PBG removes or disables access to any Materials and/ or User Generated Content in response to an infringement notice, PBG will make reasonable attempts to notify our Website user that PBG has removed or disabled access to the Materials and/or User Generated Content.

If you materially misrepresent that any Information that you provided to PBG, Materials and/or your User Generated Content is not infringing the intellectual property identified in the Infringement Notification, you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees). Therefore, if you are not sure whether or not any information that you provided to PBG, Materials and/or your User Generated Content infringes on the identified intellectual property, please contact an attorney before contacting PBG.

- Your physical or electronic signature (by fax or regular mail – not by email, except by prior agreement);
- Identification of the Materials and/or your User Generated Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the Materials and/or your User Generated Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;

If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, PBG may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that PBG may replace the removed Materials and/or User Generated Content or cease disabling it in ten (10) business days.
