DMCA Policy

1Overview

Artist Alley respects intellectual property and expects everyone here to do the same. If you believe content on Artist Alley infringes your copyright, you can send a DMCA notice to our designated agent. If your content was removed or disabled because of a DMCA notice and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice.

This page is only for copyright. Report safety, fraud, harassment, content rating and marketplace problems in the product where you can, or on the official Artist Alley Discord, our preferred support channel. Email remains available at support@artistalley.org.

3Takedown notices

To send a DMCA notice, give our designated agent all of this:

• Your physical or electronic signature, or that of someone allowed to act for the copyright owner.
• The copyrighted work you say was infringed, or a list of them if there are several.
• The material you say infringes, and enough for Artist Alley to find it, such as its Artist Alley address.
• Your name, mailing address, phone number and email address.
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn't allowed by the copyright owner, their agent or the law.
• A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or allowed to act for them.

Notices that are incomplete, wrong or not about copyright may be refused or delayed. For anything else, use the usual ways to report or ask.

4What happens after a notice

When Artist Alley receives a DMCA notice that is valid on its face, we may remove or disable the content it names, tell the person affected, keep records, and act on the account or in the marketplace where that fits.

We may refuse notices that lack the required information, seem fraudulent or abusive, aren't about copyright, or can't be matched to content on Artist Alley.

5Counter-notices

If your content was removed or disabled because of a DMCA notice and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the designated agent with all of this:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• The material removed or disabled, and where it appeared before.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, phone number and email address.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district of your address or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district where Artist Alley may be found.
• A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice, or their agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may forward it to the person who complained. Unless they tell us they have filed a court action to stop the activity they say infringes, we may restore the material no less than 10 and no more than 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice.

6Repeat infringers

Artist Alley may warn, limit, suspend or close the users, stores, listings or accounts that infringe copyright again and again, or that keep getting valid copyright complaints. We may also act at once for serious infringement, fraud, impersonation or evasion.

7False notices

Knowingly sending a false DMCA notice or counter-notice can bring legal liability and action on your account. Don't use the DMCA process for harassment, against competitors, for personal disputes, over content ratings or for anything that isn't copyright.
