Counter Notification

If Hightail has removed or blocked material uploaded by you to your Hightail account because we received a Notice as described above, you have the right to provide us with a counter notification if you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification. Your counter notification must be in the form described below. If we receive a valid counter notification from you then, unless the party claiming to own the copyright in the material files an action seeking a court order against you, Hightail will restore the content within 10-14 business days after receipt of your counter notification. Note that filing a counter notification may lead to legal proceedings between you and the copyright claimant and there may be adverse legal consequences if false or bad faith allegations are made by you, so it is suggested that you seek legal advice before proceeding.
