Copyright / DMCA Policy

Inklet respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects users to do the same. Artists upload their own work, and our Terms of Serviceprohibit posting content you don’t have the rights to share. This policy explains how to report claimed copyright infringement and how we respond, consistent with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

Reporting claimed infringement

If you believe content on Inklet infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Agent (below) that includes all of the following:

• your physical or electronic signature (the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf);
• identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
• identification of the material you claim is infringing and enough information to locate it (for example, the profile URL and the specific image);
• your contact information (name, address, telephone, and email);
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Designated Copyright Agent

[Designated Agent name / “Copyright Agent”]
[legal entity, e.g. Inklet Inc.]
[Mailing address]
Email: dmca@inklet.xyz

[Register this agent with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory before relying on DMCA safe harbor.]

What happens after a valid notice

Upon receiving a notice that substantially complies with the DMCA, we will remove or disable access to the material, make a reasonable effort to notify the user who posted it, and pass along your notice. Note that content Inklet itself publishes (rather than user-uploaded content) is not covered by the safe harbor; our consent-first model exists precisely so that portfolio work is uploaded by the artists who own it.

Counter-notification

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the Designated Agent that includes:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the U.S., [applicable jurisdiction]) and will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a legal action.

Repeat infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances, disable or terminate accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. Please make sure your claim is valid before sending a notice.
