ARTi DMCA Copyright Policy

Effective: 8 May 2026

E1 Technology Inc. ("ARTi") respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This page explains how to submit a copyright infringement notice and how the user whose content was removed can submit a counter-notice.

Designated agent

Notices of alleged copyright infringement must be sent to our designated agent:

Designated DMCA Agent — E1 Technology Inc.
Email: dmca@arti.social (preferred)
Postal: 7650 Girard Ave, Ste 300, La Jolla, CA 92037, United States

E1 Technology Inc. is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory.

How to submit a takedown notice

A valid notice must be in writing and include all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or, for multiple works, a representative list).
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing on ARTi, with sufficient detail (URL or in-app location) for us to locate it.
  4. Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Submitting a knowingly false claim of infringement may subject you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

What we do when we receive a valid notice

  1. Within 24 hours — log the notice and assign it for review.
  2. Within 48 hours — evaluate whether the notice meets the legal requirements and identify the content on ARTi.
  3. Within 72 hours of a valid notice — remove or disable access to the identified material, notify the user whose content was removed of their right to submit a counter-notice, and acknowledge receipt to the complaining party.

We do not act on incomplete notices; we will reply requesting the missing information.

Counter-notice procedure

If you are a user whose content was removed and you believe the removal was in error or based on a misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to dmca@arti.social. A valid counter-notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was 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.
  5. 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 your address is outside the United States — to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, and that you will accept service of process from the original complaining party or their agent.

After receiving a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the original complaining party. If the complaining party does not file a court action seeking a restraining order against you within 10 to 14 business days, we will restore the content.

Repeat infringers

ARTi terminates accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyrights. As a guide:

Termination decisions consider the totality of the user's history.

AI-generated content

ARTi uses AI to generate content from user prompts. AI output can occasionally reproduce protected material. If a piece of AI-generated content infringes your rights, you may submit a DMCA notice as described above; we treat it the same as any other content claim. Users remain responsible for the prompts they submit and the content they publish.
