DMCA & Intellectual Property Policy
Last updated: February 28, 2026
Duskwrit respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and similar international laws, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement.
1. Our Position on Creative Works
Duskwrit is a tool for creating original creative works. The Service is designed to help authors write their own stories, not to reproduce or infringe upon the works of others. AI features generate original suggestions based on your project context, not reproductions of existing copyrighted works.
2. Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you believe that content created, stored, or shared through the Duskwrit Service infringes your copyright, please submit a written notice to our designated agent with the following information:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including sufficient information for us to locate the material (user account, project name, or other identifier).
- Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
3. Designated DMCA Agent
DMCA Takedown Notices should be sent to:
- Email: [email protected]
- Subject line: "DMCA Takedown Notice"
We aim to process all valid takedown notices within 48 hours of receipt.
4. Action Upon Receipt
Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will:
- Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content promptly.
- Notify the account holder that content has been affected and provide a copy of the takedown notice.
- Provide the account holder with information on submitting a counter-notification.
5. Counter-Notification
If you believe your content was removed in error or is not infringing, you may submit a counter-notification including:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the courts in your district (or Canada, if outside the US).
Counter-notifications should be sent to: [email protected] with subject line "DMCA Counter-Notification".
6. Restoration
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will:
- Forward the counter-notification to the original complainant.
- Restore the removed content within 10-14 business days unless the complainant files a court action.
7. Repeat Infringers
Duskwrit maintains a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We define a repeat infringer as a user who has been the subject of two or more valid DMCA takedown notices. Account termination for repeat infringement is at our sole discretion and may occur without prior warning.
8. AI-Generated Content and Copyright
AI features in Duskwrit generate suggestions based on your project context. While we design our AI integrations to produce original content, we cannot guarantee that AI-generated text will never resemble existing copyrighted works. Users are responsible for reviewing AI-generated content before publishing.
9. Misrepresentation
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
