Abuse & copyright

The teacher hosting a game is in charge of it. From the host screen you can remove a player who uses an inappropriate nickname or disrupts the game, and lock the game so nobody new can join with the code. Jamket also blocks common offensive words in nicknames, but no filter catches everything, so please keep an eye on the lobby.

Students: if someone in a game or class is bothering you, tell your teacher. You can also ask a parent or guardian to contact us.

Tell us about anything that breaks our rules for using Jamket, including:

• harassment, bullying, threats or hateful content in a game, class or set;
• content that is sexual, violent or otherwise inappropriate for students;
• someone pretending to be a teacher, a school or another person;
• spam, attempts to flood games with fake players, or other attacks on the service;
• a security problem you have found in Jamket (please report it privately and give us a reasonable time to fix it before sharing it).

Use our contact form and include what happened, when, and anything that helps us find it: a game code, the name of a class or set, the account email involved, or a screenshot description. Please don’t send us students’ personal information beyond what’s needed to identify the problem.

A person on the Jamket team reviews every report, usually within 2 business days and sooner for anything that affects student safety. Depending on what we find, we may remove content, end a game, suspend or close an account, preserve information we’re legally required to keep, and report to law enforcement or NCMEC where the law requires it. When it’s appropriate and safe, we tell the account owner what we did and why, and we let you know when we’ve finished looking into your report.

Jamket respects copyright, and we expect people who use it to do the same. Sets in Jamket are private to the account that made them unless the owner uses them in a game, a class or an assignment. If you believe something there infringes a copyright you own or represent, send a notice under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act with:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. the copyrighted work you believe is being infringed;
3. the material you believe is infringing and enough detail for us to find it (for example, a game code, set title, class name or account email);
4. your name, postal address, telephone number and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
6. a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Send it with our contact form. When we receive a complete notice, we remove or disable access to the material and let the account owner know, including a copy of the notice with your contact details removed where the law allows. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages, so if you’re not sure, consider getting legal advice first.

If material you posted was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice through the same channel with:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. the material that was removed and where it appeared before it was removed;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification; and
4. your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

We forward a complete counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after we received your counter-notice.

We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe copyright, in appropriate circumstances. Importing a quiz from another platform doesn’t transfer any rights in it: only import and share material you made or are allowed to use, as our Terms of Service explain.
