DMCA & Copyright Policy

1. Overview

pornize.ai (the "Service") respects the intellectual-property rights of others and responds to valid copyright notices that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and comparable frameworks under EU law, including Directive 2000/31/EC (E-Commerce Directive) and Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act).

If you believe that content on the Service infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a takedown notice as described below. If you are a user whose content was removed, you may submit a counter-notice.

2. Submitting a DMCA Notice

Send your notice by email with the subject line DMCA Notice:

2.1 Required Elements

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (a representative list is acceptable if multiple works are involved).
• Identification of the material you claim is infringing and where it appears on the Service — please provide the exact URL (share link, gallery URL, or video ID) so we can locate it.
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Incomplete notices may delay or prevent action. If any required element is missing, we will contact you at the address you provide so you can supplement the notice.

3. How We Respond

We acknowledge valid notices within a reasonable time and act expeditiously to remove or disable access to material that appears to be infringing.

When content is removed:

• The associated public share link is deleted, and the public URL stops resolving immediately.
• The underlying project is marked deleted and its media references are cleared from active product surfaces (gallery, share pages, and other public views).
• We notify the affected user so they have the opportunity to file a counter-notice.

Copies that have already been distributed to third-party channels outside our control (for example, downloaded and re-uploaded elsewhere) may persist. Removal from the Service does not guarantee removal from the wider internet.

4. Counter-Notices

If you are a user of the Service and your content has been removed in response to a DMCA notice, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

4.1 Required Elements

• Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which the Service may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

4.2 What Happens Next

We will forward your counter-notice to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within 10–14 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain your use of the material, we may restore the removed content.

Send counter-notices by email with the subject line DMCA Counter-Notice to lets@pornize.ai.

5. Repeat Infringers

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i) and Section 10.2 of our Terms of Service, we terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright.

6. Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Please consider carefully before submitting a notice or counter-notice.

7. Non-Copyright Complaints

This policy covers copyright claims only. For non-consensual imagery, content depicting minors, harassment, impersonation, or other non-copyright concerns, please use our Content Removal & Complaints procedure instead.
