DMCA & Copyright Policy

Last updated: April 20, 2026 · Effective: April 20, 2026

FlyPic respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512, “DMCA”) and, where applicable, the EU Directive 2019/790 and similar laws in other jurisdictions.

1. Designated Copyright Agent

Send all copyright notices to our designated agent:

FlyPic — DMCA Agent
Email: dmca@flypic.ai
Subject line: “DMCA Takedown Notice”
Postal mail is accepted but email is faster. Request the postal address at the email above if you need it.

2. Submitting a Takedown Notice

To be effective under the DMCA, a notice must be in writing and include all of the following. Notices that miss elements may be invalid.

  1. An electronic or physical signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  2. A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed (e.g., title, registration number if any, a URL to the original).
  3. A description of the material on FlyPic that you claim is infringing, sufficient for us to locate it. Direct URLs or generation IDs are strongly preferred.
  4. Your contact information: full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

You can use the template below:

Copyrighted work: Title: ____________ Proof of ownership / original URL: ____________ 3. Infringing material on FlyPic: URL(s) or generation ID(s): ____________ 4.

The information in this notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf. Signature: ____________ Date: ____________

3. What happens next

  1. We review the notice for completeness, typically within 1–3 business days.
  2. If valid, we remove or disable access to the material, notify the user who posted it, and forward them a copy of your notice (including your contact details, as required by law).
  3. Repeat infringers have their accounts terminated under our repeat-infringer policy below.

4. Counter-Notifications

If you believe your content was removed in error or as a result of misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. Like a takedown notice, it must be in writing and include all of the following:

  1. Your electronic or physical signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement 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, and phone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where you live (or, if outside the US, the Northern District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent.

Send counter-notifications to dmca@flypic.ai. If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action seeking to restrain the activity.

5. Repeat-Infringer Policy

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. Three valid DMCA strikes within a 12-month period will generally result in permanent termination. We may act on fewer strikes for egregious, commercial, or malicious infringement.

6. Misuse of the DMCA Process

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Filing fraudulent or retaliatory notices is a federal offense and may result in termination of your FlyPic account. We may publish anonymized notices to a public transparency archive (e.g., Lumen).

7. Outside the United States

If you are a rights-holder outside the US, you may submit equivalent notices under your local law (e.g., EU DSA trusted-flagger process, UK CDPA, Canada's notice-and-notice) to the same address. Please identify the legal basis and provide the equivalent elements listed above.

8. Trademark, Publicity, & Other Rights

For trademark infringement, unauthorized use of a person's name or likeness, or other non-copyright rights issues, email ip@flypic.aiwith a description of the right you hold, the content you're reporting, and your good-faith basis for the complaint.
