DMCA Policy

stipplehub respects intellectual property rights and responds to notices of alleged infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Our Designated Agent for receiving notifications of claimed infringement is:

Voxelgen.io DMCA Agent
Email: dmca@stipplehub.com
(Mailing address available on request to expedite legitimate notices that require it.)

Our agent is registered with the United States Copyright Office. The official directory entry is at dmca.copyright.gov.

Send a written notice to dmca@stipplehub.com that contains all of the following — anything missing means we may not be able to act on the notice:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed. If multiple works are involved, a representative list is acceptable.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing — for stipplehub, normally the URL of a generated image and the user-visible identifier of the generation if you have it.
4. Your contact information: name, address, phone number, and email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use 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 you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the right being infringed.

Filing a knowingly false notice is unlawful and exposes you to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under 17 USC 512(f).

We acknowledge receipt within 1 business day and review the notice promptly. If the notice is facially valid, we remove or disable access to the identified material expeditiously, notify the user who generated it, and forward your notice to them. We may also terminate the user's account in cases of repeat infringement.

If the notice is incomplete or appears to be filed in bad faith, we may ask for clarification before acting.

If you are the user whose content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice to dmca@stipplehub.com containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
3. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the US, a federal court in any district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the original complaining party or their agent.

On receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. We will restore the removed material in 10-14 business days unless we receive notice that the complainant has filed a court action.

Accounts that accumulate multiple substantiated DMCA notices are terminated. We do not have a fixed strike count; we look at severity, intent, and whether earlier warnings changed behaviour.

stipplehub generates images on demand from text prompts and (optional) reference images uploaded by users. We do not curate or pre-select content. Generated images may resemble existing copyrighted works to varying degrees depending on the prompt. Our policy is to remove generated content identified in a valid DMCA notice, regardless of whether we agree the underlying use is infringing — that is for the user and the rights-holder to resolve. Counter-notice is the mechanism for users who believe a removal was wrong.
