If you believe in good faith that materials posted on the Site infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send the Kimmel Center a “Notification of Claimed Infringement” requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information:

    1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the works that have been allegedly infringed;
    2. Identification of the copyrighted work alleged to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
