This policy explains Makojima's process for reports that content on the Service infringes copyright. It covers public content, model names and descriptions, training materials, model releases, and copied community-model endpoints.
Scope
Makojima can restrict new copies, unpublish a release, suspend every endpoint that depends on an affected release, preserve evidence, and remove material when rights, safety, sanctions, or law require it. Ordinary unpublishing does not end licenses already accepted by endpoint owners, but a legal or safety takedown can suspend those endpoints immediately.
Copyright notice
A copyright owner or authorized agent may send a notice to legal@makojima.com. The notice should identify the copyrighted work, identify the material and its location on Makojima precisely enough for us to find it, provide the complaining party's contact information, state a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized, state under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and the sender is authorized to act, and include a physical or electronic signature.
Do not include account passwords, two-step codes, recovery codes, payment information, identity documents, or tax numbers. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice may create liability.
What happens next
Makojima records the complaint, checks that it is complete, preserves the relevant release and acceptance records, and evaluates whether access should be restricted while the matter is reviewed. We may ask for missing information. When we remove or disable material, we may notify the affected creator and provide the complaint unless law, safety, or a valid order prevents it.
Counter-notice
An affected creator may send a counter-notice to legal@makojima.com. It should identify the removed material and its former location, state under penalty of perjury that the creator has a good-faith belief the material was removed because of mistake or misidentification, provide the creator's name, address, and telephone number, consent to the jurisdiction and service requirements that apply under 17 U.S.C. section 512(g), and include a physical or electronic signature.
If a valid counter-notice is received, Makojima may forward it to the complaining party and restore access after the statutory waiting period unless the complaining party provides notice of a court action. A counter-notice does not guarantee restoration where a separate safety, sanctions, license, or legal restriction applies.
Restoration and preservation
When the statutory process permits restoration and no independent restriction applies, Makojima can restore the fixed release and the endpoints that depended on it. Restoration does not change an endpoint owner's accepted price version or expand any license. Makojima preserves the complaint, counter-notice, delivery history, release hash, license evidence, endpoint acceptance records, and decision history for the period reasonably needed to administer the case and meet legal obligations. These records are not public merely because a complaint was made.
We may preserve a disabled artifact without serving it so that the parties and a court can identify the exact material at issue. A preservation copy remains access-restricted and is not available for new copying, inference, download, or creator editing. A legal hold can extend the ordinary deletion period for the specific material and records it covers.
Appeals and repeat infringers
Creators and endpoint owners may appeal a takedown decision by replying to the case notice with evidence about ownership, license, identification, or scope. A different reviewer should decide a timely appeal when practical. Makojima may terminate accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances and may consider the number, timing, seriousness, and validity of prior complaints and counter-notices.
False or abusive notices
Makojima may reject or close a notice that lacks required information, targets material that cannot be identified, impersonates a rights holder, or appears fraudulent or abusive. We may restrict an account that repeatedly sends knowingly false notices, forged counter-notices, threats, malware, credentials, or unrelated personal information through the copyright channel. Closing an invalid notice does not prevent a rights holder from submitting a corrected notice or using an available legal remedy.
Copyright correspondence is used to administer the claim, contact the parties, preserve the record, and comply with law. It is not a private support channel between the parties, and information in a notice or counter-notice may be shared where the statutory process requires. Use a business contact address when appropriate and obtain legal advice before submitting a statement under penalty of perjury.
