Copyright Policy

By using Aviato, you acknowledge that you are responsible for the lawfulness of any content you store, stream, or distribute through it. You may be liable for damages, including attorneys’ fees and costs, if you materially misrepresent that material is infringing your rights, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification.

Reach of this policy

Aviato is self-hosted: most content runs on hardware operated by Aviato users, not by Ato. Ato cannot directly remove material from a user’s server. Within the scope of services Ato controls — the Aviato Afterburner subscription and the Aviato plugin marketplace — Ato can and will, in appropriate cases:

• Suspend or terminate the alleged infringer’s Afterburner subscription.
• Close the alleged infringer’s Ato account.
• Remove or unlist offending plugins from the Aviato marketplace.
• Forward the notice to the alleged infringer where contact information is available, so that they may respond or submit a counter-notification.

Repeat infringer policy

It is Ato’s policy, in appropriate circumstances, to terminate the Afterburner subscriptions and Ato accounts of users who are repeat infringers, and to delist plugins from authors who are repeat infringers. Ato documents the notices upon which it acts.

DMCA designated agent

Ato has registered a designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to receive notifications of claimed infringement.

Ato LLC, DMCA Designated Agent
Registration Number: DMCA-1072411
Legal Department
221 Main St Ste N
Nashua, NH 03060
United States
legal@ato.software

A copy of any notice Ato receives may be forwarded to one or more third parties, including the alleged infringer, and may be made available to the public, including in the course of legal proceedings.

Filing a notice of claimed infringement

A complete notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) must include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit Ato to locate it.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Filing a counter-notification

If you believe that material was acted upon in error or as a result of misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). A complete counter-notification must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was acted upon and the location at which it appeared, or how it was being distributed, before access to it was disabled.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was acted upon as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number.
5. 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 the United States, of any judicial district in which Ato may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or that person’s agent.
