At Jofrau, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. As a platform offering AI-powered generators for audio, music, video, animation, and identity elements, we are committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable copyright laws. This policy outlines our procedures for handling claims of copyright infringement on our website, https://www.jofrau.com.
Understanding Copyright Infringement
Copyright infringement occurs when copyrighted material is used, reproduced, distributed, or displayed without authorization from the rights holder. Our services enable users to create original content using AI tools, but we prohibit the upload, sharing, or generation of content that infringes on third-party copyrights. This includes unauthorized use of music samples, video clips, audio tracks, animations, or any other protected works integrated into user-generated outputs.
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied and made available on our site in a way that constitutes infringement, we provide a mechanism for you to notify us. We respond promptly to valid DMCA notices and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material.
Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice
To report alleged copyright infringement, you must submit a written notice to our designated DMCA agent. Your notice must comply with the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to ensure we can process it efficiently. Failure to include all required elements may result in delays or rejection of your claim.
The notice should be sent via email to our DMCA agent at [email protected]. For urgent matters, you may also contact us through the general inquiry form on our site, but email remains the preferred method for formal DMCA submissions.
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf. This verifies the authenticity of the complaint.
- Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. Provide a detailed description, such as the title, author, or specific excerpts, to help us locate the material.
- Identification of the material that you claim is infringing and that should be removed or disabled. Include direct URLs or precise descriptions of where the material appears on https://www.jofrau.com, including any user-generated content pages or AI output links.
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your full name, address, telephone number, and email address. This allows us to follow up if needed.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Upon receipt of a compliant notice, we will expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material and notify the user who posted it. We may also terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
Our Designated DMCA Agent
Jofrau has appointed a designated agent to receive DMCA notices. All communications regarding copyright infringement should be directed to:
DMCA Agent
Jofrau Inc.
[Redacted Address for Privacy]
Email: [email protected]
Phone: [Redacted for Policy Purposes]
This agent is responsible for processing all takedown requests and ensuring compliance with legal obligations. We maintain records of all notices received and actions taken, as required by law.
Counter-Notification Procedure
If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or that it does not infringe on any copyright, you may submit a counter-notification. This process allows users to challenge the takedown and potentially restore their material. Counter-notices must also meet specific legal standards under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).
Send your counter-notification to the same DMCA agent email: [email protected]. Include the following information:
- Your full legal name, address, telephone number, and email address. This is essential for us to contact you and for the original complainant to serve you with legal papers if they pursue further action.
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, including the URL or location where it previously appeared on our site.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
- Your consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in the district where your address is located (or if your address is outside the United States, the district where Jofrau is located), and your agreement to accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notification.
- A physical or electronic signature equivalent to your original posting of the content.
Once we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If they do not file a lawsuit against you within 10-14 business days, we will restore the material unless otherwise instructed by law enforcement or a court order. Note that submitting a false counter-notification can lead to liability for damages, including attorney’s fees.
User-Generated Content and AI Outputs
Our platform empowers users to generate unique audio tracks, music compositions, video sequences, animations, and identity elements like logos or names using advanced AI algorithms. While these tools are designed to produce original content, users are solely responsible for ensuring that their inputs and outputs do not infringe on existing copyrights or trademarks.
For instance, when generating names for brands or characters through our identity tools, these are provided for user experimentation and personal use. However, users must independently verify that any generated name does not infringe on existing trademarks. Jofrau does not conduct trademark searches or provide legal advice on intellectual property matters. We recommend consulting a qualified attorney or using official trademark databases before commercializing any AI-generated names or elements.
We actively monitor for infringing content and encourage users to report any suspicious material they encounter. By using our services, you agree not to upload or generate content that violates third-party rights, and you indemnify Jofrau against any claims arising from your misuse of the platform.
Policy on Repeat Infringers
Jofrau maintains a strict policy against repeat copyright infringement. We track all verified DMCA notices and user accounts associated with infringing activity. Users who receive multiple valid takedown notices may have their access suspended or terminated permanently. This includes disabling AI generation features and removing all associated content from our servers.
Our goal is to foster a creative environment while protecting creators’ rights. Termination decisions are made at our discretion, considering factors such as the severity of the infringement, the user’s history, and any counter-notifications filed.
International Considerations
Although Jofrau operates under U.S. law, we recognize that our users and content creators may be located worldwide. Copyright laws vary by jurisdiction, but we expect compliance with the strictest applicable standards. For users outside the United States, we advise familiarizing yourself with local laws regarding digital content and AI-generated works.
In cases involving international copyrights, we will cooperate with relevant authorities and rights holders to the extent permitted by law. Notices from foreign entities should still follow the DMCA format where possible, or provide equivalent information under their national legislation.
False or Misleading Notices
Submitting a DMCA notice in bad faith, such as to harass competitors or suppress legitimate content, is prohibited and may result in legal consequences. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly materially misrepresenting infringement can expose the complainant to liability for damages, court costs, and attorney’s fees.
Likewise, users who abuse the counter-notification process face similar risks. We investigate all claims thoroughly and may refer egregious cases to law enforcement.
Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to update this DMCA policy at any time to reflect changes in our operations, legal requirements, or industry best practices. Updates will be posted on this page with the revised “Last Updated” date. Continued use of https://www.jofrau.com after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
For questions about this policy or general copyright concerns, contact us at [email protected]. We are dedicated to maintaining a fair and transparent process for all parties involved.
Additional Protections for AI-Generated Content
Given the innovative nature of our AI tools, it’s worth noting that purely AI-generated outputs without human authorship may raise unique questions under copyright law. In the United States, the U.S. Copyright Office has indicated that works lacking sufficient human creativity may not qualify for protection. However, users who provide substantial inputs or modifications can potentially claim authorship.
We do not assert ownership over user-generated content but retain a non-exclusive license to host and display it on our platform as per our Terms of Service. Users retain all rights to their creations, subject to compliance with this policy.
To avoid disputes, we implement automated filters and manual reviews for high-risk content, such as audio or video uploads that resemble known copyrighted works. If you are a rights holder concerned about AI training data, note that our models are trained on publicly available, licensed datasets, and we do not store or reproduce specific copyrighted files.
Legal Compliance and Cooperation
Jofrau fully complies with DMCA safe harbor provisions under 17 U.S.C. § 512, which protect online service providers from liability for user-generated content when proper procedures are followed. We register our designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office and maintain public records of this information.
In addition to copyright, we address related intellectual property issues like trademarks through separate policies. For trademark concerns, including those related to generated names, direct inquiries to our general support at [email protected].
Our commitment extends to collaborating with industry groups, such as the Motion Picture Association and Recording Industry Association of America, to combat piracy and promote ethical AI use in creative industries.
