The Strayform Exchange will forward the notice to the alleged infringer.

Please provide the following information in your written notice:

Putback

If the infringement claim can be proved to be inaccurate, Strayform can allow the material to be putback.

Materials referred to court by the copyright owner are not allowed to be putback until the matter is resolved.
