Copyright Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Introduction
UOVA, Inc. ("UOVA", "we", "us") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. This Copyright Policy describes our procedures for handling claims of copyright infringement on the UOVA platform in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. Section 512.
It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA. If we receive proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, we will respond expeditiously by removing or disabling access to the material that is claimed to be infringing.
Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via the UOVA platform, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our designated copyright agent with the following information in writing:
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., the URL of the page containing the material).
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Please send DMCA notices to our designated agent:
- Email: copyright@uova.io
- Mailing address: UOVA, Inc., Attn: Copyright Agent, 548 Market St #36879, San Francisco, CA 94104, United States
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
Filing a Counter-Notice
If you believe that material you posted on the Service was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us by providing the following information in writing:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and 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 your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which UOVA may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original DMCA notice. If the original complainant does not file a court action within 10 business days, we will restore the removed material.
Repeat Infringers
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, UOVA has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.
We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Service and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement. We maintain records of all DMCA notices received and counter-notices filed.
AI-Generated Content and Copyright
The copyright status of AI-generated content is an evolving area of law. UOVA makes no representations regarding the copyright status or ownership of content generated through our AI Studio features. Users should be aware of the following:
- AI-generated content may not qualify for copyright protection under current U.S. law, as copyright generally requires human authorship.
- AI models are trained on diverse datasets that may include copyrighted material. While model providers take steps to mitigate infringement risks, we cannot guarantee that AI outputs will not resemble existing copyrighted works.
- You are responsible for ensuring that your use of AI-generated content does not infringe the rights of others.
- If you become aware of AI-generated content on the UOVA platform that infringes your copyright, please file a DMCA notice as described above.
- We recommend reviewing AI-generated content before publication, particularly for commercial use, and consulting with legal counsel if you have questions about its copyright status.
Template Licensing
UOVA templates are provided under a limited license as described in our Terms of Service. With respect to copyright:
- Templates are licensed for use within the UOVA platform. You may use templates to create websites and customize them for your needs.
- You may not extract, redistribute, or resell templates outside of the UOVA platform.
- The visual design elements, layout structures, and creative assets within templates are the intellectual property of UOVA or its licensors.
- Content you add to templates (text, images, logos, etc.) remains your intellectual property.
- If you believe a UOVA template infringes your copyright, please contact us at copyright@uova.io with details of the claimed infringement.
User-Uploaded Content
Users are solely responsible for the content they upload to the UOVA platform, including images, videos, text, and other media. By uploading content, you represent and warrant that you have the necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to use the content on the platform.
UOVA does not pre-screen user-uploaded content for copyright compliance. However, we will respond promptly to valid DMCA notices and remove infringing content as described in this policy.
