DMCA & Copyright Policy
Last updated: March 1, 2026
1. Overview
HexaClaw respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This policy describes how we respond to claims of copyright infringement related to content generated, transmitted, or stored through HexaClaw services, including AI-generated images, text, and other media.
This policy is established in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.
2. Designated DMCA Agent
Our designated agent for receiving DMCA takedown notices is:
3. Filing a Takedown Notice
If you believe that content generated, stored, or transmitted through HexaClaw services infringes your copyright, you may submit a written DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. Your notice must include:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf
- Identification of the copyrighted work(s) you claim have been infringed
- Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (e.g., URLs, API request IDs, user account identifiers, or descriptions of the content)
- Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, 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, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
4. AI-Generated Content
HexaClaw provides access to AI models operated by Third-Party Providers (including image generation, text generation, and other AI services). With respect to AI-generated content:
- HexaClaw as proxy: HexaClaw routes requests to Third-Party Providers and does not generate AI content itself. AI outputs are generated by the respective Third-Party Provider's models.
- No content storage: HexaClaw does not store AI-generated outputs (text completions, images, audio) after they are delivered to the requesting user. Takedown requests for transient content may be directed to the responsible user or the Third-Party Provider.
- Stored content: Content stored in vector storage (via the /remember endpoint) or generated images that users have saved to their accounts is subject to takedown procedures.
- User responsibility: Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of AI-generated content does not infringe third-party rights.
5. Our Response to Takedown Notices
Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will:
- Acknowledge receipt within 2 business days
- Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material, where it is stored on our systems
- Notify the user who stored or generated the content (if identifiable) of the takedown
- Forward the notice to the applicable Third-Party Provider if the content was generated by their model
6. Counter-Notification
If you believe that content was removed in error or that you have authorization to use the material, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent. Your counter-notification 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
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if outside the United States, any judicial district in which HexaClaw may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice
Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within 10-14 business days, we will restore the removed content.
7. Repeat Infringer Policy
HexaClaw maintains a repeat infringer policy. Users who are the subject of multiple valid DMCA takedown notices may have their accounts terminated. We consider the following factors:
- Number and severity of infringement claims
- Whether counter-notifications were filed and their outcome
- Whether the user took corrective action
- The nature of the infringing content (automated AI generation vs. deliberate copying)
8. Misrepresentation Warning
Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed or disabled by mistake, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorney's fees. Please ensure that your takedown notice or counter-notification is accurate before submitting it.
