Copyright & DMCA Policy

Counteraxiom respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and have designated a registered DMCA agent with the U.S. Copyright Office. If you believe content on our platform infringes your copyright, follow the procedure below.

Our designated DMCA agent for copyright infringement notices is:

This agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2). To be effective, all copyright infringement notices must be sent directly to this agent.

Content on the Counteraxiom platform falls into several categories relevant to copyright:

• User-submitted content: Text, documents, and files you upload are your content. You represent that you own or have the right to submit this content.
• AI-generated counter-arguments and responses: These are generated by machine learning models. Under current U.S. Copyright Office guidance, purely AI-generated content without sufficient human authorship may not be copyrightable. Counteraxiom does not claim copyright in AI-generated outputs under U.S. law.
• Web search-retrieved content: When web search is enabled, AI responses may summarise or reference third-party web content. Such content remains subject to the copyright of the original authors. Counteraxiom does not reproduce substantial verbatim portions of third-party content by design.
• Platform content: Counteraxiom's interface, branding, feature names, and original textual content are protected by copyright and may not be reproduced without our consent.

To submit a valid DMCA takedown notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your written notice must include all of the following elements:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are involved;
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it on the platform (e.g., a URL or description);
• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on behalf of the owner.

Notices that do not substantially comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) may not be acted upon. Send completed notices to: legal@counteraxiom.com

Warning: Knowingly submitting a materially false DMCA takedown notice may expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), including damages, costs, and attorney's fees.

Upon receipt of a valid takedown notice, we will: (1) expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material; (2) notify the user whose content was removed; and (3) take reasonable steps to notify the user of the notice (excluding your personal contact information, which will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law). We process valid notices as quickly as reasonably practicable, typically within 2–5 business days.

If you believe material was removed from the platform by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Your counter-notice must include:

• 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 in the judicial district where your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which Counteraxiom may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original takedown notice.

Send counter-notices to: legal@counteraxiom.com

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will: (1) forward it to the party who submitted the original notice; and (2) restore the removed material within 10–14 business days, unless the copyright owner files a court action seeking to restrain the user from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Counteraxiom has adopted and reasonably implements a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. A "repeat infringer" is a user who has been the subject of two or more valid DMCA takedown notices that were not successfully countered. We reserve the right to terminate accounts of repeat infringers without notice and without refund.

Counteraxiom's AI models generate counter-arguments and responses automatically. When web search is enabled, AI responses may reference, summarise, or paraphrase publicly accessible web content. We have implemented technical measures to limit verbatim reproduction of third-party content in AI responses.

If you believe that an AI-generated response has reproduced a substantial portion of your copyrighted work, please submit a DMCA notice as described above. Please note that:

• The DMCA safe harbour under 17 U.S.C. § 512 protects against liability for third-party content stored at the direction of users. It does not apply to the platform's own AI-generated content.
• Where AI outputs are found to incorporate copyrighted third-party material, Counteraxiom will take appropriate action, which may include modifying the platform's output controls and notifying affected users.
