DMCA Copyright Policy
Last updated: October 2026
aicente respects the intellectual property of others and expects the people who use it to do the same. This page explains how to tell us about material you believe infringes your copyright, what we do when you do, and how someone whose material was removed can respond.
1. Designated Agent
Send copyright notices to our designated agent:
Notices sent to any other address may not reach the agent and may not be treated as received. Please use the address above.
2. What a notice must contain
Under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a notice has to include all of the following. A notice missing any of them may not be actionable, and we may come back to you for the rest.
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or someone authorised to act for them.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed.
- Identification of the material you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it — a direct URL is best.
- Your name, address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the owner or authorised to act on their behalf.
Section 512(f) makes it unlawful to knowingly misrepresent that material is infringing. A person who does so can be liable for the costs the misrepresentation causes.
3. What we do
On receiving a notice that complies with section 2, we remove or disable access to the material expeditiously, and we make a reasonable attempt to tell the person who posted it, including a copy of the notice.
4. Counter-notice
If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same agent. Under §512(g)(3) it must include your signature; identification of the material and where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and telephone number, together with consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which you live (or, if outside the United States, any district in which we may be found) and agreement to accept service of process from the complainant.
If we receive a valid counter-notice we forward it to the complainant. Unless they tell us they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days.
5. Repeat infringers
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe copyright. Accounts that accrue multiple valid notices are reviewed and may be suspended or closed.
6. Material generated by AI tools
Several aicente tools generate images and text. You are responsible for the material you publish through aicente, including output you generate here, and the process above applies to it in the same way as to anything you upload.
