How to File a Takedown Notice

To submit a valid DMCA takedown notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work — describe the work you claim has been infringed, or if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works
2. Identification of the infringing material — describe the specific material you claim is infringing and provide its location on our site (URL is best)
3. Your contact information — your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
4. Good faith statement — a statement that you have 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
5. Accuracy statement — a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
6. Signature — a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf

Send your complete notice to: support@thegrantmap.com with the subject line "DMCA Notice."

Incomplete notices may not be processed. We will respond to valid notices within a reasonable time and will remove or disable access to the infringing content if the notice meets the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512.

Counter-Notice Procedure

If you believe material was removed in error — for example, because you have the right to use it or it doesn't actually infringe copyright — you may file a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3).

Your counter-notice must include:

1. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
2. Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal
3. 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
4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the district where you live (or, if outside the US, any judicial district in which The Grant Map may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice
5. Your physical or electronic signature

Send counter-notices to: support@thegrantmap.com with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice."

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and may restore the material after 10–14 business days unless the complainant files a court action.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts and listings of users who are repeat infringers of copyrights or other intellectual property rights. If we receive multiple valid DMCA notices about content posted by a particular user or contractor, we will terminate their account or listing.

Good Faith

We act in good faith when processing DMCA notices. Submitting a false or misleading DMCA notice is a violation of 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and may result in liability for damages, including attorney fees. Please only file a notice if you have a genuine belief that your copyright has been infringed.
