Copyright & DMCA Policy
How to tell us that something on Studio Prompts infringes your copyright, what we do when we receive a complete notice, how a creator can respond with a counter-notice, and our policy for repeat infringers.
Last updated Version 1.0-draft

1. Our approach
Studio Prompts publishes designs made by our team and designs submitted by creators under the Creator Program Terms. We respect the intellectual property of others and expect the same from everyone who submits material. We respond to copyright notices under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and to equivalent notices from other jurisdictions.
This policy covers material hosted on the Service: library items, previews, templates, backgrounds, creator profiles and anything else uploaded by a user. It does not cover output you generate with third-party AI tools using our prompts; that output is produced by those tools.
2. Reporting infringement
If you believe material on the Service infringes a copyright you own or are authorised to act for, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed (or a representative list if several works are covered by one notice).
- Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it — the item URL on www.studioprompts.com is ideal.
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.
Notices go to legal@studioprompts.com with the subject line “Copyright notice”, or by post to the designated agent at the address below.
3. What we do with a notice
- We review the notice for completeness. Incomplete notices may be returned with a request for the missing information.
- For a complete notice we promptly remove or disable access to the identified material, and we may hide the item from the library, search, MCP tools and sitemaps while the matter is open.
- We tell the person who submitted the material that it was removed and give them a copy of the notice (with contact details included, as the law requires).
- We keep a record of the notice and the action taken.
Members who had already unlocked a removed item keep a record of the unlock, but the content is no longer delivered until the matter is resolved.
4. Counter-notice
If your material was removed because of a notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to legal@studioprompts.com containing:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
- 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.
- Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.
We forward counter-notices to the original complainant. Unless they tell us within ten business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, we may restore the material between ten and fourteen business days after receiving the counter-notice.
5. Repeat infringers
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of members, creators and affiliates who are repeat infringers. As a rule, two substantiated notices against the same account within twelve months, or any case of deliberate infringement, lead to termination, forfeiture of unpaid creator rewards or affiliate commissions connected to the infringing material, and removal of everything that account submitted.
6. False or abusive notices
Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, can make you liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). We may ignore notices that are abusive, repetitive or clearly not made in good faith, and we may suspend accounts that send them.
7. Trademark and other complaints
Complaints about trademarks, rights of publicity, defamation or other non-copyright matters can be sent to legal@studioprompts.com. Describe the right, the material and why you believe it is unlawful; we will assess the claim and act where appropriate, but the DMCA counter-notice timetable does not apply.
Names of third-party tools, platforms and companies mentioned on the Service belong to their owners and are used only to describe compatibility; see the Terms of Service.
8. Changes
We may update this policy as the law or our processes change. The date above shows the current version; material changes are announced on the Service.
