1. Purpose
Audlis respects and protects intellectual property. This policy explains: (a) how rights-holders can notify us when content on Audlis infringes their rights, (b) how creators can challenge what they believe is a mistaken takedown, and (c) how accounts with repeated infringement findings are handled.
2. Applicable Law
This policy is built on the framework of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512) and where possible aligns with equivalent legislation in the EU, UK, and mainland China. We act on complete and reasonable copyright complaints with takedowns, and we use a counter-notice mechanism to protect legitimate users.
3. Designated Agent
DMCA notices should be sent to our designated agent:
Email: dmca@audlis.com
Address: Audlis Global · Attn: DMCA Agent · 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808, USA
Do not send commercial inquiries, product support, or other requests to this address — they will be discarded.
4. Filing a Takedown Notice
A valid copyright infringement notice must include the following — each element is required:
- Your signature, or that of an authorized agent of the rights-holder (electronic signatures are acceptable);
- A clear description of the copyrighted work allegedly infringed, or a list of such works;
- The specific URL(s) on Audlis where the allegedly infringing content can be found — e.g. a mockup product page, a creator-marketplace asset, a shared AI-generated output;
- Real-name contact details: name, address, phone, and email;
- A good-faith statement that the use complained of is not authorized by the rights-holder, its agent, or the law;
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights-holder or authorized to act on its behalf.
5. What Happens After We Receive a Notice
- We perform an initial review of the notice's completeness and reasonableness within 1–3 business days.
- If the notice appears valid, the relevant content is taken down or blocked; the uploading user is notified of the takedown and informed of the counter-notice option.
- Accounts found infringing more than once within a six-month window ("repeat infringers") are permanently banned.
- If a notice is clearly unfounded (the content does not exist, or use is clearly fair-use), we notify the complainant and leave the content in place.
6. Filing a Counter-Notice
If your upload was taken down and you believe it was a mistake or qualifies as fair use, you may file a counter-notice with the same designated agent. A counter-notice must include:
- Your electronic signature;
- A clear description of the removed content and its original URL;
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the content was removed by mistake or misidentification;
- Real-name contact details: name, address, phone, and email;
- A consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in your judicial district (if in the US), or where Audlis is located (if outside the US);
- A consent to accept service of process from the complainant.
7. After a Counter-Notice
Once we receive a valid counter-notice, we forward a copy to the original complainant. Unless the complainant files a court action (such as for an injunction) and notifies us within 10–14 business days, the content will be reinstated. This window follows DMCA practice.
8. Note on AI-Generated Content
The AI Studio relies on upstream models and training data. The copyright status of AI Studio output is governed by the terms of those upstream models and by the law in your jurisdiction. Audlis makes no representation as to the copyright status of AI output. If a third party asserts that AI output infringes its rights, we will still handle it under this policy.
9. Repeat Infringer Handling
- First finding of infringement: warning and removal of the relevant content.
- Second finding within 12 months: 30-day account suspension and freeze of unsettled creator earnings.
- Third finding: permanent ban. Already-settled earnings are handled per platform policy; unsettled earnings are forfeited per platform rules.
- The timeline above is general; egregious or large-scale infringement can result in an immediate permanent ban.
10. Trademark Complaints
Trademark infringement complaints follow a similar workflow. Send the complete trademark proof (registration number and jurisdiction), the URL of the disputed content, a good-faith statement, and contact details to dmca@audlis.com with "TRADEMARK NOTICE" in the subject. We assess the use scope and product category before acting.
