Copyright & DMCA Policy
Last updated: July 8, 2026
Overview
plonkAI respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will respond expeditiously to properly submitted notices of claimed infringement, and we will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers where appropriate.
Reporting infringement — notice requirements
If you believe content published or generated through plonkAI infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Agent (below) that includes 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 have been infringed (or, for multiple works at a single site, a representative list).
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail (URL, published-brik slug, screenshot) to let us locate it.
- Your contact information — full name, mailing address, phone number, email.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use 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 owner of, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of, the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Incomplete notices may be ignored. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing may subject you to liability for damages.
Designated Agent
Send DMCA notices to our Designated Copyright Agent:
plonkAI — DMCA Agent
Email: dmca@plonkai.app
Backup email: hello@plonkai.app
Use the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice" so we can prioritize it.
Counter-notice
If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the Designated Agent that includes:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material 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 phone number, plus a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the district where you live (or, if outside the US, any judicial district in which plonkAI may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may reinstate the removed material 10–14 business days after forwarding it to the original complainant, unless the complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action.
Repeat infringers
We terminate — in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion — the accounts of users who are repeat infringers, and may take action against any user for a single egregious infringement.
Trademarks and rights of publicity
The DMCA covers copyright only. Trademark complaints, right-of-publicity issues (including AI-generated likenesses), and other rights claims should be sent to hello@plonkai.app with the subject line "IP complaint" and enough detail to identify the mark or likeness and the allegedly infringing material. We review these on a case-by-case basis.
Generative AI outputs
plonkAI is a generative tool. Users are responsible for the brand names, logos, likenesses, and third-party content they input or publish — see our Terms & Conditions. We will act on valid takedown notices for outputs the same way we do for uploads.
