DMCA Notice & Takedown Procedure

Last updated: 13 May 2026 · Version: 1.0

WeartyAI respects the intellectual property of others and asks our users to do the same. This page sets out how to notify us of copyright infringement on our service under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512), and how to respond if your content has been removed in error.

1. How to send a DMCA takedown notice

If you believe that material accessible through WeartyAI infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to our Designated Agent (contact details in section 4 below) that contains all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list).
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed, with information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate it (URL, screen, account email, etc.).
  4. Contact information for the complaining party: full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that the complaining party is the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
Note: If your notice is missing any of these elements we may not be able to act on it. Misrepresentations in a DMCA notice can lead to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

2. What happens after we receive a valid notice

  1. We will remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice within a reasonable time.
  2. We will forward a copy of the notice to the user who uploaded the material so they may file a counter-notice if they believe the removal was incorrect.
  3. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated in accordance with our policy under 17 U.S.C. § 512(i).

3. How to file a counter-notice

If you are a WeartyAI user whose content has been removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice with our Designated Agent containing the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your full legal name, address, telephone number, and 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 you are outside the United States, the Federal District Court for the District of Delaware), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or their agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notice and the original notifier does not file a lawsuit within 10–14 business days, we will restore the material.

4. Designated Agent contact

For both notices and counter-notices, please use the contact below. WeartyAI's Designated Agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2) and 37 C.F.R. § 201.38; the public record can be searched at copyright.gov/dmca-directory.

5. Repeat-infringer policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), WeartyAI maintains a policy of terminating accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We consider an account to be a repeat infringer if it has received three (3) uncontested DMCA notices, or if the account is the subject of a final judgment of infringement, or if the account is being used in a manner that is plainly designed to circumvent copyright protections.

6. Limitations and good faith

Filing a DMCA notice that materially misrepresents that material is infringing may expose the notifier to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), including costs and attorneys' fees. Before sending a notice consider whether the use you are complaining about is protected by fair use (17 U.S.C. § 107) or other limitations on exclusive rights. If you are unsure, consult a lawyer.

7. Non-US copyright complaints

Users outside the United States may also send copyright complaints to the address above. We will treat them with equivalent seriousness, applying the procedural framework of the DMCA. For complaints originating in the European Union, our obligations under the Digital Services Act (EU) 2022/2065 may also apply.

8. Contact for non-DMCA copyright issues

If your concern is about WeartyAI's own brand, logo, copy, or images (rather than user-uploaded content), email weartyai@gmail.com with the subject line "IP enquiry".
