DMCA Policy

1. Overview

Antix Interactive, Inc. ("Antix Interactive," "we," "our," or "us") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the AIGE and AIGORA platforms to do the same. It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA").

As a service provider, Antix Interactive qualifies for the safe harbor protections afforded under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) with respect to user-posted content. To maintain these protections, we act expeditiously to remove or disable access to material claimed to be infringing upon receiving proper notice, and we maintain a repeat infringer policy as described in Section 5.

This policy covers all content hosted or transmitted through AIGE and AIGORA, including AI-generated images, character assets, posts, and profile materials.

2. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that content on AIGE or AIGORA infringes your copyright, you may submit a written DMCA takedown notice to our Designated Agent (see Section 3). To be valid under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following elements:

• Identification of the Copyrighted Work: A clear description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list is acceptable.
• Identification of the Infringing Material: Sufficiently specific identification of the material you claim is infringing — including the URL, content ID, character ID, or other information that will permit us to locate the material on our platforms.
• Contact Information: Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address so that we may contact you regarding your notice.
• Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• Accuracy Statement Under Penalty of Perjury: A statement that the information in your notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
• Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf. Typing your full legal name at the end of the notice constitutes an electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid takedown notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified content and will notify the user who posted the material, subject to applicable law.

3. Designated Agent

All DMCA takedown notices, counter-notifications, and related correspondence must be submitted to our Designated Copyright Agent:

Our Designated Agent's information is also on file with the U.S. Copyright Office as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2). Notices sent to addresses other than those listed above may not receive a timely response.

4. Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notice that was filed in error or misidentified your material, you may submit a written counter-notification to our Designated Agent.

A valid counter-notification must include all of the following:

• Your full name, address, telephone number, and email address.
• Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, including the URL or other specific identifier, and the location where the material appeared before it was removed.
• 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.
• 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, any judicial district in which Antix Interactive may be found.
• A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original claimant and inform them that we may restore the removed content after 10 to 14 business days unless the claimant notifies us that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the material. If no such action is filed within that period, we may, in our discretion, restore the removed content.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and our own commitment to respecting intellectual property, Antix Interactive maintains a repeat infringer policy. Accounts that receive multiple valid, uncontested DMCA takedown notices are subject to termination.

We use a three-strike approach as a general guideline:

• First Valid Notice: Content removed and a formal warning issued to the account holder.
• Second Valid Notice: Content removed, temporary suspension of content publishing capabilities, and final warning.
• Third Valid Notice: Permanent account termination and removal of all associated content from the platform.

We reserve the right to deviate from this three-strike approach at our discretion, including terminating accounts immediately for particularly egregious or willful infringement. A counter-notification that results in content restoration will not count toward this tally.

6. AI-Generated Content and Copyright

AIGE and AIGORA provide tools that enable users to generate AI-created images, characters, and other content. The intersection of AI-generated content and copyright law involves unique considerations:

User Responsibility: Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their AI-generated content does not infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that prompts, reference images, and character designs do not instruct the AI to reproduce copyrighted characters, artworks, logos, or other protected materials.

Resemblance Does Not Equal Infringement: AI-generated content that incidentally resembles copyrighted works due to the generative nature of AI models does not automatically constitute copyright infringement. Copyright infringement requires substantial similarity to protectable expression, not merely stylistic resemblance. However, deliberately prompting the AI to reproduce specific copyrighted works likely constitutes infringement for which the user is responsible.

Platform Response: We will respond to DMCA notices concerning AI-generated content through the same process described in this policy. We will evaluate each notice on its merits and make good faith determinations about whether identified content is likely infringing.

7. Good Faith and Misrepresentation

The DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

We take misuse of the DMCA process seriously. Abusive or bad-faith takedown notices submitted with the intent to suppress legitimate speech, harm competitors, or harass users will be treated as a violation of our Acceptable Use Policy and may result in enforcement action against the submitting party's account, in addition to any legal remedies available to the affected user.

If you are not certain whether material on our platforms infringes your copyright, we recommend seeking legal counsel before submitting a DMCA notice.
