ARTi DMCA Copyright Policy
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:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or, for multiple works, a representative list).
- 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.
- Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- 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.
- 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
- Within 24 hours — log the notice and assign it for review.
- Within 48 hours — evaluate whether the notice meets the legal requirements and identify the content on ARTi.
- 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:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which 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.
- 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:
- After two confirmed valid notices against the same user, we issue a warning.
- After three confirmed valid notices, we may suspend or terminate the account.
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.
