Assent to Process Serving and Jurisdiction: A declaration that the user will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of infringement or an agent of that person, and that the user consents to the jurisdiction of the District Court in Coimbatore, India. An example of this would be, “I will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of infringement or an agent of such person, and I consent to the jurisdiction of the District Court in Coimbatore, India.”
