DMCA Copyright Policy

1. Scope of this policy

seometric.agency respects the intellectual property of others and expects the same in return. This page is our designated method for receiving notifications of claimed copyright infringement and counter-notifications under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 (the “DMCA”).

It applies to all material displayed on or made available through seometric.agency, including published articles, images, logos, and any content submitted to or generated as part of the service. If you believe material on this site infringes your copyright, follow section 2. If your material has been removed and you believe that was a mistake, follow section 5.

2. Filing a DMCA infringement notice

Send your notice by email to contact@seometric.agency with the subject line DMCA takedown notice. To be considered a valid notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A), a written communication must include substantially all of the following six items:

1. A signature. The physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Your typed full name at the end of the email is acceptable as an electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If several works at a single site are covered by one notification, a representative list of those works.
3. Identification of the infringing material. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed or to have its access disabled, together with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it. Please give the full URL of each page on seometric.agency concerned, exactly as it appears in your browser — a link to the site in general is not enough.
4. Your contact information. Information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you, such as your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address (or those of your authorised agent).
5. A good-faith statement. 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.
6. An accuracy and authority statement. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

A notification that does not substantially include all of these items may not be considered a valid notification (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(B)). If anything is missing, we will contact you and ask for it before acting. We aim to acknowledge every notice within two business days.

Method

Email to the address above. It is the designated and fastest channel, and it is monitored for copyright matters on working days.

Everything we need must appear in the notice itself: we cannot act on a request that does not identify the work or the exact location of the material. Your contact details are used only to handle the notification, and we may disclose the details of a valid notice to the person or account responsible for the material, so that they can respond.

4. What happens after you file

1. Acknowledgement. We confirm receipt of your notice, normally within two business days.
2. Review. We check the notice against the six requirements above and compare the material you identified with the work you claim.
3. Action. If the notice is complete and the material appears to be infringing, we remove it or disable access to it expeditiously — in practice within five business days of receipt — and notify any account holder responsible for it.
4. If we cannot act. If the notice is incomplete, or the material is plainly licensed, in the public domain, or otherwise permitted, we will tell you why. We may ask you for the missing information, or suggest that you raise the matter directly with the account holder.

5. Counter-notification procedures

If your material was removed and you believe the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification — because you hold the licence, because the work is in the public domain, or because your use is permitted by law, such as quotation, criticism, commentary or fair use — you may ask us to restore it.

Send your counter-notification by email to contact@seometric.agency with the subject line DMCA counter-notification. To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), it must include substantially all of the following four items:

1. Your signature. The physical or electronic signature of the subscriber — you, the person whose material was removed.
2. Identification and location. 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, with enough detail for us to find it — the full URLs of the pages concerned.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury. 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
4. Your details and consent to jurisdiction. Your name, address and telephone number, together 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 of the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notification or from their agent.

On receipt of a valid counter-notification, we forward it promptly to the person who filed the original notice. We then restore the material not less than 10 nor more than 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification, unless that person first files a lawsuit seeking to restrain the activity. We will tell you when the material has been restored.

6. Misrepresentations

A notification and a counter-notification are both legal documents with statutory consequences. Knowingly and materially misrepresenting that material is infringing, or that it was removed or disabled by mistake, may result in liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). If you are unsure whether your claim is correct, obtain legal advice before filing.

7. Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances we will terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the copyright of others, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(i). We maintain this policy, and we act on it when a clear pattern of infringement is identified.

8. Changes

This policy may be updated. The version published on this page applies to every notification and counter-notification received from the time it is published.

9. Contact

Send all copyright notices and counter-notifications to contact@seometric.agency. Anything else: see the Contact page, or the Terms of use.
