Copyright and DMCA Policy
Draft copyright and DMCA notice-and-takedown policy, including ATM's designated copyright agent, counter-notification process, and repeat-infringer policy.
1. Respect intellectual property
You may only upload, publish, sell, or link to work that you own, are licensed to use, or otherwise have the right to use. This applies to everything you create or authorize through ATM, including profile names, avatars, and descriptions, catalog product titles, descriptions, and images, event and ticket details, and any public AT Protocol records ATM writes or displays on your behalf.
Atmosphere Money Inc. responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and applicable law, and terminates repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
2. Designated copyright agent
Send DMCA copyright notices and counter-notices to Atmosphere Money Inc.’s designated agent:
Atmosphere Money Inc. Copyright Agent
Email: copyright@atmosphere.money
Mailing address: 150 Jefferson St, Unit 3, Brooklyn, NY 11206
Phone: +1 (551) 359-1667
This agent receives copyright notices for Atmosphere Money and the apps Atmosphere Money Inc. operates. Notices about content on a specific app may be handled together with that app's own reporting flow.
3. Submitting a copyright notice
To report content you believe infringes your copyright, send a written notice to the designated agent above. To be effective, your notice should include: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed; identification of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient for ATM to locate it, such as the ATM URL, record URI, or product reference; information reasonably sufficient for ATM to contact you, such as your name, address, telephone number, and email; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Incomplete notices may delay review, because ATM may need to ask for more information before it can locate the material or evaluate the claim.
4. AT Protocol records and public content
ATM is built on AT Protocol. Some content ATM displays or indexes is a public record that lives in a user's own repository on their PDS (personal data server), which ATM reads, caches, and renders. If the material you are reporting is a public AT Protocol record that ATM is displaying, ATM can review and, where appropriate, remove or disable how that content is shown, cached, or indexed within ATM's own services.
Removing ATM's display of a record does not necessarily remove the original record from the wider AT Protocol network. The canonical copy may also need to be reported to the app, PDS, host, or service where it was published. ATM controls its own copies and surfaces; it does not control every other service that may have independently copied or indexed a public record.
5. How ATM responds
When ATM receives a complete copyright notice, ATM may remove or disable access to the identified material, stop displaying or caching it, notify the affected user where appropriate, preserve evidence, restrict a checkout or payout, or take other account action. ATM may also act on facts or circumstances that make infringement apparent even without a formal notice.
ATM keeps records of notices and actions taken as needed for legal compliance, dispute handling, and enforcement of the repeat-infringer policy below.
6. Counter-notification
If your content was removed or disabled because of a copyright notice and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the designated agent. To be effective, it should include: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the removed material and the location where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, and telephone number, together with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal court and will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent.
Where the DMCA counter-notification process applies, ATM may forward your counter-notification to the original complainant and may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the designated agent first receives notice that the complainant has filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity. ATM may decline to restore material that also violates ATM's Terms, Acceptable Use Policy, a payment processor's rules, or applicable law.
7. Repeat infringers
Atmosphere Money Inc. has adopted and will reasonably implement a policy of terminating, suspending, or restricting, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users, creators, organizers, or apps that repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights. ATM considers repeated valid notices, court orders, attempts to evade prior removals, and other relevant trust-and-safety context when applying this policy.
8. Misuse of this process
Submitting false, misleading, or abusive copyright notices or counter-notifications can carry legal consequences, including liability under Section 512(f) of the DMCA. Do not submit a copyright claim unless you are the rights holder or authorized to act for them, and do not submit a counter-notification unless you have a good-faith basis to do so.
If your content was affected for reasons other than copyright, use ATM’s contact page instead, and see the Acceptable Use Policy for ATM’s general content and conduct rules.
