Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy

geoAMS follows a policy of responding to clear and properly submitted notices of alleged copyright infringement. This document explains what information must be included in such notices. The intent is to simplify the submission process while minimizing incomplete, misleading, or unverifiable claims. The structure outlined here aligns with the requirements of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act, though geoAMS may also process notices submitted under other applicable laws.

Regardless of potential liability under applicable law, geoAMS may remove or restrict access to content identified as infringing and may terminate user accounts when appropriate. When action is taken, geoAMS will make a reasonable effort to notify the affected content owner or administrator so they may submit a counter notice. geoAMS may also keep records of infringement claims it processes.

Submitting an Infringement Notice

To report alleged infringement, you must send a written notice by mail or email unless otherwise agreed. You may be responsible for damages if you knowingly submit false claims, so consider consulting legal counsel if you are uncertain.

Your notice should include the following:

• A detailed description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed.
• A clear identification of the material you believe is infringing that work.
• If applicable to search results, include the search query used and the URL of each result.
• Your contact information so geoAMS can reach you.
• If possible, contact information for the content owner or administrator.
• A statement confirming your good faith belief that the use is unauthorized.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, confirming accuracy and your authority to act.
• Your signature.

Submitting a Counter Notification

If your content has been removed or restricted, you may submit a counter notification under applicable law. geoAMS may restore the content upon review.

Your counter notification must include:

• Identification of the material removed or restricted.
• Your contact information.
• A statement consenting to jurisdiction of the appropriate court.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the removal was due to mistake or misidentification.
• Your signature.

Account Termination
