Digital Millennium Copyright Act Compliance. It is Mapiz's policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. In addition, Mapiz will promptly terminate without notice the accounts of Users that are determined by Mapiz to be "repeat infringers." A repeat infringer is a User who has been notified by Mapiz of infringing activity violations more than twice and/or who has had a User Submission removed from the Mapiz Services more than twice.

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and you believe that any content hosted on any Mapiz Services infringes your copyrights, then you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing Mapiz's Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the applicable Mapiz Services are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on the applicable Mapiz Services;
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Mapiz to locate the material;
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Mapiz to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (for example, "I am under the good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted content that is identified herein is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."); and
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed (for example, "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, of the copyright(s) that is allegedly infringed by the aforementioned content.").

Mapiz's Designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement can be reached as follows: Attention: Copyright Agent at [email protected] . For clarity, only DMCA notices should go to the Mapiz Designated Copyright Agent. Any other feedback, comments, requests for technical support or other communications should be directed to Mapiz customer service through [email protected].

We use your device's Mobile ID and other information about Client applications you download to help our clients understand which ads are most effective at generating downloads of our Client's applications.
