Copyright & DMCA Policy
- Studios upload their own files, and the web clipper saves product images from other sites. Sometimes that can include work that belongs to someone else.
- If you own the copyright and did not allow it, send a notice to our agent below. We take the material down quickly.
- If your file was removed by mistake, you can send a counter-notice.
- Accounts that keep infringing are closed.
1. Our designated agent
Send copyright notices (and only copyright notices) to:
Copyright AgentThiriverse LLC, a California limited liability company
[FILL IN: mailing address]
Email: copyright@specdio.com
Phone: [FILL IN: phone number]
US Copyright Office registration: [FILL IN: DMCA-xxxxxxx]
2. What a notice must include
The law (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)) says a notice works only if it has all of these:
- Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is fine).
- What work you say was copied (for example, a link to your original photo).
- Where the copy is on Specdio — the share link or page address, so we can find it.
- How to reach you: name, address, phone and email.
- This sentence: “I have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”
- This sentence: “The information in this notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am the owner, or authorised to act for the owner, of the copyright.”
Be careful: under §512(f) someone who knowingly makes a false claim can have to pay damages. If you are not sure the use is infringing (for example it may be fair use), ask a lawyer first.
3. What we do with a valid notice
- We remove or block the material quickly, usually within 2 business days.
- We tell the studio that uploaded it and send them a copy of the notice (with your contact details, as the law expects).
- We keep a record of the notice.
4. Counter-notice — if your file was removed by mistake
Send our agent a counter-notice (17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3)) with all of these:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- What was removed and where it was before.
- This sentence: “Under penalty of perjury, I have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.”
- Your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the USA, any district where Specdio may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.
We forward it to the person who complained. If they do not tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court case, we put the material back within 10–14 business days.
5. Repeat infringers
We close the account of anyone who is, in the right circumstances, a repeat infringer — as a rule, after three valid notices that were not successfully countered. We may close it sooner for clear, deliberate copying.
6. Anything else
