AI168 (ai168.io, operated by AI168 Technology Inc) respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same.
Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), AI168 maintains an expedited Notice-and-Takedown procedure for user-generated content (including listings, photos, videos, and merchant catalogs).
AI168 enforces a zero-tolerance policy against repeat intellectual property infringement and maintains a designated copyright agent for statutory notifications.

2. Designated Copyright Agent

Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2), notifications of claimed copyright infringement should be directed to our Designated Agent:
• Corporation: AI168 Technology Inc
• Designated Copyright Email: support@ai168.io (Subject Line: 'DMCA Copyright Notice')
• Jurisdiction: State of Delaware, United States
• Please note: This channel is strictly reserved for copyright and legal notices. General customer support inquiries will not receive responses through this address.

3. Filing a DMCA Notice of Infringement (Statutory Requirements)

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a written notification must contain the following six elements:
1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with sufficient URL links or post identifiers to permit AI168 to locate the material.
4. Contact information of the complaining party, including full legal name, physical mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that the complaining party has 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.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

4. Takedown Response & Counter-Notification Procedure

1. Expedited Takedown: Upon receipt of a valid statutory notice, AI168 will expeditiously remove or disable access to the infringing material and notify the content uploader.
2. Counter-Notification: If the uploader believes material was removed by mistake or misidentification, a written counter-notification may be submitted pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3).
3. Contents of Counter-Notice: The counter-notice must include physical/electronic signature, identification of removed material, statement under penalty of perjury of good faith belief of mistake, and consent to federal district court jurisdiction.
4. Restoration of Material: If the copyright owner does not file a court action seeking an injunction within 10 to 14 business days of receiving the counter-notice, AI168 may restore the material.

5. Strict Repeat Infringer Policy (Two-Strike Rule)

In compliance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(1)(A), AI168 maintains a strict repeat infringer termination policy:
1. System records maintain unique audit trails for verified intellectual property violations.
2. Any user account accumulating two (2) or more verified infringement complaints without successful counter-notice is deemed a Repeat Infringer.
3. Repeat Infringer accounts are subject to immediate, permanent termination without prior notice, including the deletion of active storefronts and forfeiture of platform points.

6. Civil Penalties for False or Bad-Faith Claims

Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or was removed by mistake, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer or service provider.

7. Zero Tolerance for Child Exploitation & Non-Consensual Imagery

1. Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM): Zero tolerance. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, all suspected instances are immediately preserved and reported to NCMEC (CyberTipline) and federal law enforcement.
2. Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery: Compliant with the federal Take It Down Act, reported non-consensual imagery is permanently removed within 48 hours of notification.
