DMCA & Intellectual Property Takedown

1. Our Commitment

ArtyPop Shop lets people create and publish AI-generated designs on apparel. We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and we may remove or disable access to designs, listings, or products that we believe in good faith infringe another party's rights.

3. What Your Takedown Notice Must Include

To be effective under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)), your written notice must 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 you claim has been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works).
• Identification of the material you claim is infringing and enough information for us to locate it — ideally the design ID, listing URL, or product link on our site.
• Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Please note that under Section 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.

4. Counter-Notification

If your design or listing was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to legal@artypop.shop 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 judicial district (or, if outside the U.S., a district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action to keep it down.

5. Repeat Infringers

In appropriate circumstances, we will disable or terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We may also remove infringing material and take other action at our discretion.

6. AI-Generated Designs

Designs on ArtyPop are generated from user prompts using AI. Users are responsible for the prompts they submit and the designs they publish or order. Creating designs that infringe third-party intellectual property is prohibited under our Acceptable Use Policy. Reporting through this process helps us act on infringing material quickly.
