How to submit a notice of infringement

If you believe your copyrighted work has been used in a way that constitutes infringement on any service operated by Automated Software Systems LLC, send a written notice to our Designated Agent above that includes ALL of the following (required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (URL, screenshot, in-app post identifier, or similar).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you (address, telephone number, and email address).
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Notices missing any required element may not be actionable.

Our response to valid notices

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we will:

• Promptly remove or disable access to the material that is the subject of the notice.
• Notify the user who posted the material that it has been removed and provide a copy of the notice.
• Track the notice in our records.

We aim to respond to valid notices within 24 hours of receipt during business days.

Counter-notice procedure

If you are a user of one of our services and your content has been removed in response to a DMCA notice, you may submit a counter-notice. To be effective, a counter-notice must include ALL of the following (required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, along with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.

Send counter-notices to the same Designated Agent listed above.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will provide a copy to the original complaining party and inform them that we will restore the removed material in 10 to 14 business days unless we first receive notice that the original complainant has filed an action seeking a court order against you.

Repeat infringer policy

It is our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. We track DMCA notices received against each user account. Two valid, uncontested DMCA notices against the same user account within any 12-month period will result in account termination. A counter-notice that successfully restores content does not count toward this threshold.

Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney's fees. We reserve the right to seek such damages.

Trademark and other IP disputes

This policy applies specifically to copyright disputes under the DMCA. For trademark disputes, right-of-publicity claims, or other intellectual property concerns not covered by the DMCA, contact dmca@automatedsoftwaresystems.com with details of the claim.

Changes to this policy

We may update this DMCA Policy at any time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. The Designated Agent contact information will also be kept current with the U.S. Copyright Office Directory.
