Required elements in a formal notice:

- 2.Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g. your original sound wave, loop link, or registrations).

Rule 75 Information (For Indian Claims)
Under Rule 75 of the Indian Copyright Rules, 2013, upon receipt of a valid written notice of infringement, Samples Wala will disable access to the alleged infringing material within 36 hours.
As mandated by Indian law:
• The access will be disabled for a statutory period of **twenty-one (21) days**.
• To keep the access disabled permanently, the claimant must produce an order from a competent Indian Court within those 21 days.
• If no court order is received within 21 days, we are legally required to restore access to the content.
Counter-Notification Process
If you believe your content was mistakenly disabled or removed as a result of an incorrect copyright strike, you may file a formal counter-notification. Under DMCA guidelines (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)), the counter-notice must be in writing, contain a signature, identify the material removed, and declare consent to federal court jurisdiction.
Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complaining party. If the claimant does not file a lawsuit within 10-14 business days, we are legally entitled to restore the disabled material.
