If you think in good faith that a copyright infringement notice has been filed incorrectly against you, the DMCA allows you to issue a counter-notice to DIRECT RESPONSE SRL.

Resolution of Disputes:
These Terms of Service will be regulated and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Romania, and any disagreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Bucharest, Romania.
