(a) a physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the right that is alleged to have been infringed;

D-Wave will respond to clear notices of infringement consistent with Canadian law, and its response to such notices may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content, terminating the accounts of repeat infringers, and/or making good-faith attempts to contact the User who posted the content at issue so that the User may, where appropriate, take action to oppose any such notice.
