What Happens After You Submit a Notice

Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will:

• Review the notice to ensure it meets all requirements
• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material promptly
• Notify the content provider or third-party source (if applicable) that the material has been removed

Please note that Rubmaps aggregates content from third-party sources. In many cases, the infringing material may originate from an external website. While we will remove the content from our Site, you may also need to contact the original source to have it removed from their platform.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our designated agent. Your counter-notification must include:

1. Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal
2. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification
3. Your name, address, and telephone number
4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice
5. Your physical or electronic signature

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we may restore the removed material within 10-14 business days, unless the original complainant files a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringer.

Repeat Infringers

In accordance with the DMCA, we will terminate access for users or content sources that are found to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Good Faith

Please be aware that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be subject to liability. Do not file a DMCA notice or counter-notification unless you are certain of your claim.
