Takedown requests (DMCA)

Avatok complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you're a copyright holder and your work has been used on Avatok without permission, file a takedown notice and we'll act on it.

Where to send a DMCA notice

Email legal@avatok.ai with subject DMCA takedown. Include:

• Your full legal name and contact information.
• A description of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
• The URL(s) on Avatok where the allegedly infringing material can be found.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized.
• A statement that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, under penalty of perjury.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

What happens next

1. We acknowledge within 24 hours.
2. If the notice is facially valid, we remove or disable the allegedly infringing content and notify the uploader.
3. The uploader can file a counter-notice (see below). If they do, we forward it to you, and the content may be restored after 10–14 business days unless you've filed an action seeking a court order to restrain.

Counter-notices

If you're the uploader and you believe the takedown was filed in error, send a counter-notice to legal@avatok.ai with the same level of detail (identification of the material, statement under penalty of perjury, consent to jurisdiction, signature).

Repeat infringer policy

Accounts that accumulate three confirmed DMCA strikes within a rolling 12-month window are terminated under our repeat-infringer policy. Strikes can be challenged; confirmed strikes count.
