DMCA Policy

Designated Agent

For purposes of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2), Calavai's Designated Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office and reachable at:

Submitting a Takedown Notice

A notice of claimed infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) must be a written communication that includes all of the following. Notices missing any element may be disregarded.

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works on the Platform are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, with information reasonably sufficient to permit Calavai to locate it (e.g., the URL on calavai.com).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Calavai to contact the complaining party (e.g., name, address, phone number, email).
5. The following statement: "I 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."
6. The following statement: "The information in this notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."

Under § 512(f), knowingly materially misrepresentingthat material is infringing may subject you to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

Counter-Notice

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
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 you reside (or for any judicial district where Calavai may be found if you are outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the complaining party or their agent.

Send counter-notices to the Designated Agent above. If we receive a valid counter-notice and the complaining party does not file a court action seeking a restraining order within 10–14 business days, we will restore the material.

Repeat-Infringer Policy

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Calavai maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of users who are repeat infringers. Three (3) valid §512(c)(3) takedown notices upheld against the same account within any rolling 12-month period will result in termination of that account. A counter-notice that restores content does not erase the strike unless the original notice is withdrawn or found invalid. Accounts terminated under this policy are not eligible for reinstatement.
