DMCA & Copyright Policy

[ COMPANY NAME ] respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects users of the Creou website, application and API (the "Service") to do the same. This policy explains how copyright owners can notify us of alleged infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and how we handle such notices. EU and Danish copyright owners may use the procedures below or proceed under applicable EU law (Directive (EU) 2019/790 and the Danish Copyright Act).

1. Designated agent

Notifications of alleged infringement under the DMCA must be sent to our designated agent registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Designated-agent contact information is published below; the registration record (currently being processed) is available at dmca.copyright.gov/osp.

Postal address. See contact page on our website.

2. How to submit a takedown notice

To submit a valid notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), please provide all of the following:

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are at issue.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed, with information sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g. a direct URL or media ID).
Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, including name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Misrepresentations in a takedown notice may subject the sender to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

3. Counter-notification

If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) containing:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that has been removed and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed.
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 U.S. federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if you are outside the U.S., the U.S. federal district court for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant or its agent.

4. Repeat-infringer policy

We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our reasonable discretion, terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers, and may take additional steps including retention and disclosure of records to enforcement authorities where required.

5. EU users

Rightholders in the EU may submit notices in the same form as above and may also rely on procedures under Directive (EU) 2019/790 (CDSM), the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) and the Danish Copyright Act. Under the DSA we provide a single point of contact and operate this notice-and-action mechanism for illegal content; trusted-flagger notifications receive priority handling.
