Read the notice carefully: identify the specific content alleged to be defamatory, the legal section cited, and the demanded action.
Assess the claim: is the content opinion (protected) or false statement of fact (actionable)? RepuLex provides a response assessment within 4 hours.
Do not delete the content yet: deleting may be seen as admission. Consult a lawyer before acting.
Respond formally: a legally drafted response addressing each allegation. Silence can be used against you in subsequent proceedings.
Consider settlement: many defamation disputes resolve through formal retraction agreements. RepuLex can negotiate on behalf of either party.
