Copyright & IP Policy

Effective date: 19 August 2026

This policy is part of the Terms of Service. It covers copyright, neighbouring rights, trademarks, and similar IP complaints about User Content hosted on Genematic, including the Community Feed.

Users — not Genematic — publish their posts. We will disable access to material when we receive a valid notice and, in appropriate circumstances, terminate repeat infringers (17 U.S.C. § 512(i)).

1. Designated copyright agent (DMCA)

Notices under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) must be sent to:

Email is the fastest path. We will register / maintain a designated-agent listing with the US Copyright Office as required for full DMCA safe-harbor reliance.

2. What a valid takedown notice must contain

Your notice should include all of the following:

  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act for the owner.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work (or a representative list).
  • Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it (direct URL to the feed post or generation).
  • Your name, postal address, telephone number, and email.
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner.

Incomplete notices may be ignored. Knowingly materially misrepresenting infringement can create liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and equivalent laws. We may forward your notice to the user who posted the material.

3. Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same agent including: your signature; the material removed and its former location; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake; your name, address, and phone; and consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for your address (or, if outside the US, any US district court in which Genematic may be found) and to accept service of process from the original complainant. We may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the complainant files an action.

4. EU / UK notices

Rights holders in the EEA or UK may use the same email. Provide a precise URL, the right asserted, why the use is not licensed, and your contact details. Hosting liability exemptions (DSA Art. 6; UK e-Commerce Regulation 19) apply until we have actual knowledge of illegal information.

Publicity / personality / trademark complaints that are not copyright should still go to legal@genematic.ai with the same locators. We may remove content to reduce legal risk without deciding the merits.

5. Repeat infringers

We track valid notices per account. We will terminate accounts of users who are repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances, and we may terminate earlier for egregious or commercially obvious piracy.

6. AI outputs

A generation that happens to resemble a third-party work is not automatically licensed to you, and is not automatically an infringement by Genematic. The posting user is responsible for Inputs and for choosing to publish Outputs. Fair use / fair dealing is the poster's risk, not a warranty from us.
