Kindly rephrase this passage:Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Greetings from zengsport.com (the ‘Site’). We value the rights of intellectual property of others and expect the same in return. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), a copyright owner or their representative can send a takedown notice to our DMCA Agent listed below. As an internet service provider, we are protected by the “safe harbor” provisions of the DMCA against any infringement claims. To submit a valid infringement claim, you must provide us with notice that includes the following information:
Notice of Infringement – Claim
1. A signature, either physical or electronic, from the copyright owner (or an authorized representative) is required.
2. Identification of the copyrighted material allegedly infringed;
3. Identification of the material that needs to be removed due to infringement, along with enough information for the service provider to locate it. [Please provide the URL of the page in question to help us identify the potentially offending content].
4. Adequate information for the service provider to reach the complaining party, such as their name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, and fax number.
5. A declaration that the aggrieved party holds a sincere belief that the utilization of the content is not permitted by the copyright representative;
6. An affirmation that the details provided in the notification are precise, and, under the risk of legal consequences, the individual filing the complaint is authorized to represent the copyright holder.
Section 17 of the United States Code, also known as USC §512(f), imposes penalties for civil damages, including legal fees and expenses, on individuals who intentionally and significantly misrepresent specific information in a notification of copyright infringement under USC §512(c)(3).
Please submit all takedown requests via our Contact page. Kindly send them via email for immediate assistance.
Please be aware that we may disclose the identity and details of any copyright infringement claim we receive to the accused party. By submitting a claim, you acknowledge and consent to the possibility of your identity and claim being shared with the alleged infringer.
Counter Notification – Restoration of Material
If you have been notified of a takedown due to a copyright infringement claim, you can submit a counter notification to request that the material in question be restored on the site. This notification must be written and sent to our DMCA Agent, and must include the following elements as outlined in 17 USC Section 512(g)(3):
1. Your handwritten or digital signature.
2. A depiction of the content that was removed and the initial placement of the content prior to its removal.
3. A declaration made under the threat of perjury stating that you genuinely believe that the material was taken down or disabled due to a mistake or incorrect identification of the material that needed to be removed or disabled.
4. Provide your full name, address, and phone number, along with a declaration of your agreement to the authority of the federal district court in the judicial district where your address is located (or if you are outside of the United States, any judicial district where the service provider is located).

5. Submit your counter notification via our Contact page. We highly recommend using email.
