Copyright Policy

If you believe something on PromptAbide infringes your copyright, here is how to tell us. If your content was removed by mistake, here is how to respond.

Last updated:

1.Our approach#

We respect intellectual property rights and expect our users to do the same. Our Terms only allow you to post content you have the right to share. We respond to clear notices of infringement under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and under India’s Copyright Act, 1957 (Section 52(1)(c)) and Copyright Rules, 2013 (Rule 75).

A note on prompts and AI outputs

Whether a short prompt, or an output generated by an AI model, is protected by copyright depends on the work and on the law of each country. We do not decide ownership disputes. We act on valid notices, and parties who disagree can resolve the matter in court.

2.Where to send notices#

Designated agent
Copyright Agent, PromptAbide
Email
hello@promptabide.com
Postal address
Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India

3.What a notice must include#

To act quickly we need all of the following. Notices missing key details may be delayed or rejected.

  1. Your name, postal address, phone number and email address.
  2. A description of the copyrighted work you say is infringed. If there are several, a representative list.
  3. The exact URL(s) on PromptAbide of the content you want removed, so we can find it.
  4. Evidence that you own the work or are authorised to act for the owner (for notices under Indian law, proof of ownership).
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law (for example, is not fair use or fair dealing under Section 52 of the Copyright Act).
  6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.
  7. Your physical or electronic signature.

Notices under Indian law: Rule 75 of the Copyright Rules, 2013 also asks you to state whether the same content is at other locations, and to undertake that you will file an infringement suit and produce the court’s order to us within 21 days of your notice.

Be accurate

Knowingly false claims can make you liable for damages, including costs and legal fees (for example under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f)). If you are not sure whether something infringes, get legal advice before sending a notice.

4.What happens next#

  • We acknowledge your notice and review it.
  • If it is complete and valid, we remove or disable access to the content promptly, and in any case within 36 hours for valid notices under Indian law.
  • We tell the user who posted it, and give them a copy of the notice (we may remove personal details that are not needed).
  • Indian law: if we do not receive a court order within 21 days of the notice, we may restore access to the content.
  • DMCA: if the user sends a valid counter-notice, we forward it to you and restore the content in 10 to 14 business days, unless you tell us you have filed a court action to stop the infringement.

5.Counter-notice#

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or you have the right to use it, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It must include:

  1. Your name, postal address, phone number and email address.
  2. The content that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
  4. For DMCA counter-notices: a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the US federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the US, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.
  5. Your physical or electronic signature.

Abusing the counter-notice process can also lead to liability.

6.Repeat infringers#

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe. As a rule, an account that receives three valid copyright strikes within 12 months is terminated. A strike that is successfully challenged by counter-notice or withdrawn does not count. We may terminate sooner for flagrant infringement.

7.Trademarks and other rights#

Trademarks

If content uses your trademark in a way that misleads people, email hello@promptabide.com with your registration details and the URLs involved.
