Takedown · last updated 27 September 2026
Copyright and other takedown requests.
Velven respects the rights of creators, including the ones whose work is on Velven. If something on velven.ai, or hosted on velven.io, infringes your copyright, send a notice to dmca@velven.ai as described below. Velven responds to notices under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
Where to send it
Email dmca@velven.ai. Velven's registration of a designated agent with the US Copyright Office is in progress; this page will give the agent's full details once it is complete.
What a notice must include
- Your physical or electronic signature, as the copyright owner or someone authorised to act for them.
- The copyrighted work you say is infringed, or a list of them if a notice covers several.
- The material you say infringes it, and where it is on Velven: the link to the space, version, comment or item, precise enough for Velven to find it.
- Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
A notice missing one of these may not be acted on. Knowingly claiming that material infringes when it does not can make you liable for damages under the DMCA, so if you are unsure whether a use is allowed, fair use for example, consider asking a lawyer first.
What happens next
Velven removes or disables access to the material, which can mean hiding a space or one of its versions, or deleting a comment or uploaded item. The person who posted it is told, and sent a copy of the notice, which can include your contact details.
Counter-notices
If material of yours was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to dmca@velven.ai that includes:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- The material that was removed and where it was on Velven before it was removed.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith the material was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, postal address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district of your address (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Velven may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice or their agent.
Velven sends a copy to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell Velven that they have filed a court action to keep the material off Velven, it is restored no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after Velven receives the counter-notice.
Repeat infringers
Velven closes the account of anyone who repeatedly infringes copyright. An account with three valid notices against it, not withdrawn and not answered by a counter-notice that led to the material being restored, is closed together with its spaces, and its owner may not open another. Velven may close an account sooner in a clear or serious case.
Other requests
For material that is illegal where you are, your personal information posted without your consent, impersonation or trademark misuse, or anything else that breaks the content policy, use Feedback on the space's page or the report action on a comment or item, or write to dmca@velven.ai with the link and what is wrong. The same address takes legal process and requests from law enforcement.
If a site of yours was listed on Velven without you, Feedback on its page or privacy@velven.ai takes it off, as the privacy policy says.
