DMCA Policy
Last updated: December 4, 2025
Inkarnate, Inc. ("Inkarnate") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. §512, Inkarnate has adopted the following policy regarding alleged copyright infringement on Inkarnate websites, applications, and services ("Inkarnate Properties").
Designated Agent
If you believe that content available through the Inkarnate Properties infringes your copyright, you may submit a notification to our designated agent:
Inkarnate Copyright Manager, Inkarnate Inc.
1606 Headway Circle, Suite 9381, Austin, TX 78754
Phone: 5123688563
Email: copyright@inkarnate.com
Inkarnate has also registered its designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office, as required by the DMCA.
Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice
To be effective under the DMCA, your takedown notice must include the following (see 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)):
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or person authorized to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Inkarnate to locate the material (e.g., a URL or direct link).
- Contact information of the complaining party, including name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Incomplete notices may not be processed.
Counter-Notification
If your content was removed (or access to it was disabled) as a result of a takedown notice and you believe it was removed in error, you may file a counter-notification with our designated agent. A valid counter-notification must include (see 17 U.S.C. §512(g)):
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled and the location where the material appeared before removal.
- 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.
- Your name, address, and 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 outside the United States, that you consent to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which Inkarnate may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the takedown notice or their agent.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, Inkarnate may restore the content in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days, unless the original complaining party notifies Inkarnate that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity.
Repeat Infringer Policy
Inkarnate has adopted a "three strikes" policy. Users who receive three valid DMCA takedown notices will have their accounts terminated, the associated email address blocked from creating new accounts, and all of their content removed from the Inkarnate Properties. Inkarnate reserves the right to terminate accounts sooner in appropriate circumstances, such as willful or egregious infringement.
Record-Keeping
Inkarnate maintains records of all takedown notices, counter-notices, and repeat infringer terminations to comply with the DMCA and to enforce this policy.
