Copyright and DMCA Policy

If you believe in good faith that material available on or through the Service infringes your copyright, you (or your authorized agent) may submit a written notice of claimed infringement ("DMCA Notice") to our Designated Copyright Agent.

To be effective, your DMCA Notice must include substantially the following:

1. Your signature — A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf
2. Identification of the copyrighted work — Identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works
3. Identification of infringing material — Identify the material that is claimed to be infringing (or 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 (including the URL, page, or location on the Service)
4. Your contact information — Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
5. Good faith statement — A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
6. Accuracy statement — 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

If your material was removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notice and you believe the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. To be effective, your counter-notice must include substantially the following:

1. Your signature — Your physical or electronic signature
2. Identification of removed material — 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 disabled
3. Good faith statement — 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
4. Consent to jurisdiction — 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 the United States, the federal district court for the Northern District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or an agent of such person

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complaining party and inform them that the removed material will be restored in 10-14 business days unless the complaining party files a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity. If no such action is filed, we will restore the material.

• The output of AI models may be similar or identical to existing copyrighted works. You are responsible for ensuring your use of AI-generated outputs does not infringe third-party rights.
• If you believe that AI-generated output from the Zod Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA notice as described above. Please identify the specific output and provide sufficient detail to allow us to investigate.
• Zod does not claim ownership of AI-generated outputs created by users. Ownership is governed by our Terms of Service.
• We take reasonable steps to design our systems to avoid reproducing verbatim copyrighted content, but we cannot guarantee that AI outputs will never resemble copyrighted material.
