  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Watson Referral Realty Inc. to locate the Submission(s) 

  4. The name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party so it may be contacted; 

  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the Submission in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
