DMCA / IP Policy

1. Copyright Infringement — Submitting a Notice

If you believe that content on Creofy infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a written notice to our designated agent. To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) your notice must include all of the following:

1. Identification of the work: A description of the copyrighted work (or, if multiple works are covered, a representative list).
2. Identification of the infringing material: Information sufficient to locate the infringing content on our platform (e.g., the URL of the specific page or asset).
3. Your contact information: Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. Good faith statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. Accuracy statement:A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
6. Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

Notices that omit required elements may not be acted upon. Submitting a false or materially misleading notice may result in legal liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and equivalent statutes.

2. Designated DMCA Agent

Send DMCA takedown notices to our designated copyright agent:

Our agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2). Registration details are available at dmca.copyright.gov/osp.

3. Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) your counter-notice must include:

1. Your signature: Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of removed material: A description of the content that was removed and the location (URL) where it appeared before removal.
3. Penalty of perjury statement: A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
4. Consent to jurisdiction: Your name, address, and telephone number; and 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 outside the United States, any judicial district in which Creofy may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant and may restore the removed content after 10–14 business days unless the complainant notifies us that they have filed an action in court seeking a restraining order.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Creofy will terminate the accounts of users who are determined, in our reasonable discretion, to be repeat copyright infringers. We may also terminate accounts where a pattern of infringing activity is evident, even absent formal DMCA notices.

5. Trademark Complaints

If you believe that content on Creofy infringes your trademark or creates a likelihood of confusion as to the source of goods or services, please contact us at support@creofy.io (subject: Trademark Complaint). Include a description of the trademark, the content you believe is infringing, evidence of your ownership or registration, and your contact details. Trademark complaints are not governed by DMCA and are handled on a case-by-case basis.

6. Right of Publicity and Likeness Rights

Creofy enables users to generate AI-produced images, videos, and audio of synthetic personas. Our platform's Terms of Service prohibit:

• Generating content depicting real, identifiable individuals without their clear prior consent.
• Producing non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) or deepfakes of real persons.
• Using a real person's likeness, voice, or identity to mislead others or for commercial exploitation without authorisation.

If you believe Creofy content violates your right of publicity, portrait rights (including under GDPR Article 9 for biometric data), or equivalent right in your jurisdiction, contact us at support@creofy.io (subject: Likeness Rights Complaint). We will investigate and remove content found to violate these rights, and may terminate accounts responsible for such content.

7. AI-Generated Content and Intellectual Property

The intellectual property status of AI-generated content is evolving. Current guidance:

• Ownership: Creofy assigns ownership of AI outputs to the user who generated them, subject to our Terms of Service. Creofy does not claim copyright in outputs generated on your behalf.
• Originality threshold: Under current U.S. Copyright Office guidance and UK law, AI-generated outputs without meaningful human creative input may not qualify for copyright protection. You should obtain independent legal advice if you intend to rely on copyright protection for AI outputs.
• Third-party content: Our AI models are trained on licensed datasets. We do not intentionally replicate specific copyrighted works. If you believe an output closely copies a specific protected work, please submit a notice as described in Section 1.
• You retain responsibility: You are responsible for ensuring that inputs you provide (e.g., uploaded images, text) do not infringe third-party rights, and that outputs you create comply with applicable law.

8. UK and EU Rights

In the United Kingdom, copyright is governed by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA). In the EU, copyright is harmonised by the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive (DSM Directive) and related instruments. While the formal DMCA notice-and-takedown procedure is specific to U.S. law, Creofy applies equivalent procedures for UK and EU claims. Notices submitted under Section 1 above will be treated as formal claims regardless of the jurisdiction of the complainant.

UK-based complainants may also contact the Intellectual Property Office if disputes cannot be resolved directly.

9. Misuse of the Notice Process

Submitting a fraudulent, materially misleading, or bad-faith takedown notice may expose you to civil liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and equivalent provisions. We reserve the right to seek damages, including legal costs, from parties who abuse the notice process to suppress legitimate content.

10. Contact

All IP-related notices should be sent to support@creofy.io with an appropriate subject line (DMCA Notice, Counter-Notice, Trademark Complaint, or Likeness Rights Complaint). We aim to acknowledge notices within 2 business days.
