What this site hosts: its own editorial text, screenshots of reviewed interfaces, and AI-generated sample images produced by third-party tools. There are no user uploads, so most notices concern material we published ourselves. Valid notice: the six elements of 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)(A) — signature, work identified, material located, contact details, good-faith statement, accuracy statement under penalty of perjury. Timeline: acknowledgment within 2 business days; removal or disabling of material covered by a complete notice within 5 business days; incomplete notices get a request for the missing elements. Counter-notice: follows §512(g)(3); material is restored no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after we receive it, unless the notifier tells us a court action has been filed. Misrepresentation: knowingly false notices or counter-notices create liability for damages under §512(f). Repeat infringers: contributors and reviewed services whose material is repeatedly the subject of substantiated notices are removed. ## What does «1. Scope and how this policy fits a publisher» govern? The safe harbor in 17 U.S.C. §512(c) was written for services that store material at the direction of users. Clothoff AI is a different kind of site: the editorial team writes every review, there is no upload form, and no image is generated or stored here — see the AI content policy . We follow the §512 notice format anyway, because it gives rights holders and the editorial team a clear, verifiable record and a predictable timeline. Copyright claims about content that sits on a service we review — a generated image, a template, a logo — must go to that service. The US Copyright Office directory lists designated agents; where our review documents a provider’s copyright contact, we point you to it.
