Legal / DMCA policy

Your rights,
respected.

How rights holders report infringement, how creators counter-notify, and how repeat infringers lose their accounts — the full 17 U.S.C. § 512 process.

Last updated August 27, 2026
01

Our commitment

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect every User to do the same. Creators may upload Content only if they own it or hold all rights necessary to upload, display, distribute, and monetize it. All Content is reviewed before publication, and our prohibited-keyword filtering reduces the risk of infringing material being posted — but no review process can identify every possible copyright claim. This notice-and-takedown process exists so rights holders can promptly report material they believe infringes their rights; we respond to clear, valid DMCA notices and, in appropriate circumstances, disable or terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

02

Designated Copyright Agent

We have designated a Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2). This is the only contact for DMCA notices and counter-notifications; other inquiries sent to it may not receive a response.

Designated Copyright Agent — Copyright Agent, FetishHaus Ltd. · Email: [email protected]. If our U.S. Copyright Office Directory registration and this page ever appear to differ, the registration on file with the Copyright Office controls, and we will correct this page promptly.

03

Submitting a takedown notice

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act for one) and believe Content on the Platform infringes your copyright, send a written notice to the Designated Copyright Agent including substantially all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

Email [email protected] (preferred, fastest) with "DMCA Takedown Notice" in the subject. Before sending, consider whether the use may be authorized or lawful — fair use, licensed use — because the DMCA imposes liability for knowing material misrepresentations (Section 7). A notice that does not substantially comply may not be effective; we may contact you for missing information.

  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the allegedly infringed copyright.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed — or a representative list, if one notice covers multiple works at a single location.
  • Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to locate it — the specific URL(s) on the Platform, the Content title, and the Creator's username.
  • Your contact information — name, mailing address, telephone number, and email if available.
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner of an exclusive right allegedly infringed.
04

After a valid notice

  • Expeditious removal — we act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material.
  • Notice to the Creator — we promptly notify the affected Creator, provide a copy of the notice (which may include your contact information), and inform them of the counter-notification right.
  • Records — we log notices, counter-notifications, affected Content, and accounts, to administer this policy (including the repeat-infringer policy) and support our DMCA safe harbor.
  • Removal in response to a notice is not a determination that infringement occurred — it is our good-faith response to a DMCA notice.
05

Counter-notification

If your Content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, submit a written counter-notification to the Designated Copyright Agent including substantially all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):

Email [email protected] with "DMCA Counter-Notification" in the subject. We promptly forward a valid counter-notification to the original complainant and restore the material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days — unless the complainant first notifies our Agent that they have filed a court action to restrain the activity. Submitting a counter-notification may result in your contact information being shared with the complainant; do not submit one unless the removal genuinely was a mistake or misidentification.

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal (original URL and Content title).
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, of your good-faith belief that removal was the result of mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, with consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your district (or any district where we may be found, if outside the U.S.) and acceptance of service of process from the original complainant or their agent.
06

Repeat-infringer policy

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we have adopted and reasonably implemented a policy providing for termination, in appropriate circumstances, of repeat infringers. We track copyright complaints per account; a "strike" is generally recorded when Content is removed under a valid notice not successfully reversed by counter-notification. Accumulated strikes — or conduct we reasonably judge to constitute repeat infringement — can mean suspension or termination, Content removal, and payout handling per the Terms and the Creator Agreement. Severe or egregious infringement can mean immediate action regardless of prior strikes, as can evasion attempts (re-uploading removed Content, creating new accounts). Strike and termination decisions can be reviewed through the Appeals process — separate from the statutory counter-notification right, which is the mechanism for restoring removed Content.

07

False claims (§ 512(f))

Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner or licensee, or by us in reliance on the misrepresentation. Both notices and counter-notifications include statements under penalty of perjury. If you are unsure, consult an attorney before submitting.

08

Other important points

  • This is the U.S. process; if and when we serve EU/UK users, additional notice-and-action mechanisms will be provided.
  • This policy addresses copyright only. Non-consensual or intimate imagery, trademark, privacy, impersonation, and abuse reports are handled under the AUP, NCC Policy, and Complaints Policy — not by the Copyright Agent.
  • Nothing in this policy is legal advice; we cannot advise whether a particular use infringes or is fair use.
  • We may update this policy; material changes update the "Last updated" date, and continued use constitutes acceptance per the Terms.
