Our policy
AMTIL Inc. ("AMTIL", "we") respects the intellectual property of others and expects the people who use our services to do the same. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA"), and to valid counter-notices, as described below. This policy applies to app.amtil.co, amtil.co and our other services, alongside our Terms of Service.
Designated agent
Send copyright notices and counter-notices to our designated agent:
DMCA Agent, AMTIL Inc.
7308 E Independence Blvd #1118, Charlotte, NC 28227, United States
Email: legal@amtil.co (subject line "DMCA Notice")
Sending a notice of infringement
If you believe material on our services infringes a copyright you own or are authorised to act for, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed or, if several works are covered by one notice, a representative list of them.
- Identification of the material you say is infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, such as the specific URL(s) or the term or page name.
- Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
A notice that leaves out any of these elements may not be acted on. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. If you are unsure whether material infringes your rights, consider seeking legal advice before sending a notice.
What we do when we receive a valid notice
We act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified in a valid notice. Where the material was provided by a user, we take reasonable steps to notify that user that it has been removed or disabled, and we may provide them with a copy of the notice, including the complainant's contact details, so they can respond.
Sending a counter-notice
If material you provided was removed or disabled and you believe this happened because of a mistake or misidentification of the material, you may send our designated agent a counter-notice that includes all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before it was removed or disabled.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material.
- Your name, postal address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which AMTIL may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or that person's agent.
When we receive a valid counter-notice, we send a copy to the person who sent the original notice and tell them that we will restore the material, or stop disabling access to it, in 10 business days. We restore it no less than 10 and no more than 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice, unless our designated agent first receives notice that the complainant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in the infringing activity. Knowingly and materially misrepresenting that material was removed by mistake can also create liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
Repeat infringers
We keep a record of the valid notices we receive against each account. In appropriate circumstances we disable or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others, including accounts that are the subject of repeated valid notices that were not resolved by a successful counter-notice. We may also remove material or restrict an account where we have reason to believe it infringes, whether or not we have received a notice. A terminated user may not create a new account without our permission.
