portal-staging.affoa.org maintains a notice-and-review process for copyright claims relating to content on portal-staging.affoa.org. Rights holders or their authorized representatives may submit a written request using the details below.
Submitting a Copyright Notice
Send a written notice that contains all of the following:
- A clear description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. A representative list may be used when multiple works are involved.
- The exact location of the disputed material on portal-staging.affoa.org, including the complete URL whenever possible.
- Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or are authorized to act for the rights holder.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Valid notices are reviewed in good faith. Depending on the circumstances, access to the challenged material may be limited while the matter is assessed.
Counter-Notification
If material you provided was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification identifying the removed material and its former location, explaining why you believe the action was mistaken, and including your contact details and physical or electronic signature.
Where legally required, a counter-notification should also include the applicable consent-to-jurisdiction and service-of-process statements. Because legal requirements vary, consider obtaining professional legal advice before submitting one.
Repeat Infringers
Where appropriate, accounts or contributors associated with repeated infringement may have their access restricted or terminated.
False or Misleading Claims
Knowingly submitting materially false information may create legal liability. Only submit a notice when you have a reasonable basis for the claim.
