Copyright & DMCA Policy

1. Your responsibility

Only submit Inputs and use Outputs when you have the necessary rights and permissions. AI generation does not erase third-party rights or guarantee that an Output is legally protectable or safe to publish. Velart may remove or restrict material and accounts when it reasonably believes infringement or repeat abuse has occurred.

2. Copyright infringement notice

A copyright owner or authorized agent may send a written notice through the Contact page. Begin the message with "Copyright Notice" or "DMCA Notice" and include all of the following:

• a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent;
• identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list if multiple works are covered;
• identification and exact location of the allegedly infringing material, including the relevant Velart URL, asset, project, or generation identifier where available;
• your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
• a good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

3. What Velart may do

We may ask for missing information, forward the notice to the affected user, remove or disable access to the material, preserve relevant records, and take action against the account. A removal is not a determination that infringement occurred. We may reject notices that are incomplete, abusive, unrelated to copyright, or not submitted by an authorized person.

4. Counter-notice

If your material was removed because of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice through the Contact page. Begin the message with "DMCA Counter-Notice." It must include:

• your physical or electronic signature and identification of the removed material and its former location;
• a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address, and telephone number, plus consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States federal district court—or, if outside the United States, the district where Velart's operator is located;
• a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or that person's agent.

5. Restoration after a counter-notice

Where the U.S. DMCA process applies, we may send a valid counter-notice to the original complainant and restore the material no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after receipt, unless the complainant tells us it has filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity. We may choose not to restore material that independently violates the Terms.

6. Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances, Velart may restrict or terminate users who repeatedly infringe copyright. We consider the number, reliability, timing, and outcome of notices and counter-notices and do not treat every unverified allegation as a final finding.

7. False or abusive notices

Knowingly and materially misrepresenting that material is infringing, or that removal was mistaken, may create liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) or other law. Consider fair use, licenses, public-domain status, and other lawful uses before sending a notice. Do not use this process for trademark, privacy, harassment, payment, or general content disputes; use the Contact page and identify the correct issue instead.

8. Copyright contact and designated-agent status

Until Velart publishes a named agent, physical address, telephone number, email address, and U.S. Copyright Office registration, the Contact page is the operational channel for copyright reports but is not a representation that Velart has completed DMCA designated-agent registration or qualifies for a statutory safe harbor. If registration is completed, the public agent details on this page will replace this paragraph.
