DMCA Copyright Policy

Effective date: 20 June 2026 | Last updated: 20 June 2026

1. Scope and good-faith review

This policy applies to copyright complaints concerning material hosted on or controlled by AI Cost Calculator. It does not make us responsible for material hosted solely by a third-party website to which we link. We may forward a notice or counter-notice to the affected party, our hosting provider, legal advisers, or others involved in reviewing the claim.

We may remove or restrict material in response to a complete, credible notice, but removal is not an admission of infringement. We may ask for clarification when a notice is incomplete, overly broad, or does not identify material we can locate.

2. How to submit a copyright infringement notice

If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act for one and believe material on the Site infringes an exclusive right, send a written notice containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. Section 512(c)(3):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If one notice covers multiple works, provide a representative list with enough detail to identify them.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, together with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it. Include the exact Site URL for each item and explain where the material appears.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to contact you, such as your full name, organization, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Include the subject line "DMCA Copyright Notice". Screenshots may be helpful but do not replace exact URLs and the required statements. A notice that does not substantially comply with the statutory requirements may not provide effective notice.

3. What may happen after a notice

After receiving a substantially complete notice, we may:

• review the identified material and the information supplied;
• request additional details or evidence of authorization;
• remove or disable access to material in good faith;
• notify the person who supplied or controls the affected material;
• provide that person with a copy of the notice, including contact information;
• retain the notice as needed for legal, abuse-prevention, and recordkeeping purposes.

We may decline to act on notices concerning facts we cannot verify, material not located on our Site, uses that appear authorized or legally permitted, or disputes better resolved by the parties or a court. We do not adjudicate ownership.

4. Counter-notification

If material you supplied was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification that includes the information described in 17 U.S.C. Section 512(g)(3):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number.
5. 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, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.

Use the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notification". We may send the counter-notification to the original claimant.

5. Restoration after a counter-notification

After forwarding a valid counter-notification, we may restore the affected material no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after receipt, unless the original claimant informs us that a court action has been filed seeking to restrain the affected activity. Restoration remains subject to our Terms and Conditions, technical feasibility, other legal obligations, and any independent reason we may have to restrict the material.

6. Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances, we may restrict or terminate access for users or contributors who are repeat infringers. We may also act against clear or repeated abuse of the notice process. Because the Site currently does not provide public user accounts or user-hosted uploads, this policy may be applied to contributors, submissions, or other controlled material as relevant.

7. Misrepresentation, fair use, and non-copyright complaints

Under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, costs, and attorneys' fees. Before submitting a notice, consider whether the use may be authorized by license or law, including fair use, quotation, criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.

The DMCA process is for copyright, not trademark, privacy, defamation, contract, or general content disputes. Send non-copyright concerns to the contact address with a clear explanation. We may adapt this process for credible copyright complaints from outside the United States, but the laws and remedies of other jurisdictions may differ.
