Review and Removal Process
Upon receipt of a valid Notice, Essal will promptly review the information provided and take appropriate action. This may include removing or disabling access to the infringing material within a reasonable timeframe.
Counter-Notice
If you believe that your content has been wrongly removed or disabled as a result of a Notice, you may submit a counter-notice ("Counter-Notice") to Essal's designated agent. The Counter-Notice should include the following information:
1. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled;
2. Your contact information, including your full name, address, telephone number, and email address;
3. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Algerian courts and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original Notice or an agent of such person; and
5. Your physical or electronic signature.
Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notice, Essal will review the information provided and may reinstate the removed material within a reasonable timeframe unless the original complainant files a legal action seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer.
