DMCA & Copyright Policy

AeroSpottle responds to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. This policy explains our notice-and-takedown process, how to reach our designated agent, and how to submit a counter-notice if your own content was removed and you believe that was a mistake.

1. Reporting Infringing Content (Takedown Notices)

If you believe content on aerospottle.com infringes your copyright, submit a takedown notice using our DMCA takedown form. A valid notice must include:

• Your name and contact information
• A description of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed
• The URL or other specific location of the allegedly infringing material on AeroSpottle
• A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf
• Your physical or electronic signature

We aim to review and respond to valid notices within 5 business days. Submitting a knowingly false or misleading notice may expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

2. Designated Agent

Notices of claimed infringement should be sent to our designated DMCA agent:

⚠️ Placeholder — these fields must be filled in with the agent information actually filed with the U.S. Copyright Office's Designated Agent Directory before this policy accurately reflects your registration. Until they're filled in, this page should not be treated as a completed DMCA safe-harbor notice.

3. Counter-Notice Process

If content you submitted to AeroSpottle was removed or disabled in response to a takedown notice, and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice.

A valid counter-notice must include:

1. Your name, address, and phone number
2. Identification of the material that was removed and its location on AeroSpottle before removal
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled
4. 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 outside the United States, any judicial district in which AeroSpottle may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original takedown notice or their agent
5. Your physical or electronic signature

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward a copy to the party who submitted the original takedown notice. Unless that party notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you from the infringing activity, we may restore the removed material within 10–14 business days of receiving the counter-notice.

Submitting a knowingly false counter-notice may also expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

4. Repeat Infringers

In appropriate circumstances, AeroSpottle may terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers, consistent with the account moderation actions described in our Terms of Service.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page.
