DMCA Copyright Policy

Secure Medical Inc respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of BetterSex to do the same. This page explains how to submit a copyright infringement notice or counter-notice.

1. Designated copyright agent

Notices of claimed infringement must be sent to our designated agent:

Use the subject line DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice. Notices sent to any other address may be delayed or may not be treated as effective notice under the DMCA.

2. Submitting a takedown notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a written notice must include substantially the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list where multiple works are covered by a single notice;
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it — a URL, screen, companion name, or account identifier;
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized 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 copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

An incomplete notice may not trigger our obligations under the DMCA. We will ordinarily tell you what is missing so you can submit a corrected notice. A copy of your notice, including your contact information, may be forwarded to the affected user and may be provided to a third-party clearinghouse for publication.

3. How we respond

On receiving an effective notice we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material, take reasonable steps to notify the affected user and provide them a copy of the notice, inform them of their right to submit a counter-notice, and record the notice against the account for the purposes of our repeat-infringer policy. We ordinarily acknowledge a notice within two business days.

Removing material in response to a notice is not a determination that infringement occurred.

4. Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe this resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our designated agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), it must include substantially the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the material removed and where it appeared before removal;
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• Your name, mailing address, and telephone number;
• 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, to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which we may be found;
• A statement that you will accept service of process from the complaining party or their agent.

Use the subject line DMCA Counter-Notice. Your counter-notice, including your contact information, will be forwarded to the complaining party.

5. Restoration

On receiving an effective counter-notice we will forward it to the complaining party. Unless that party notifies us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the removed material.

We may decline to restore material that independently violates our Prohibited Content Policy or applicable law, regardless of the outcome of a copyright dispute.

6. Repeat infringers

We maintain and reasonably implement a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

We record effective notices against accounts and may suspend or permanently terminate an account that accumulates repeated valid claims, taking into account the number and seriousness of the claims, whether any were withdrawn or successfully countered, whether the user attempted to evade enforcement, and any other relevant circumstances. Related accounts may also be terminated where we identify an attempt to evade this policy.

7. Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

Please consider whether the use in question may be authorized or may constitute fair use before submitting a notice. We cannot give legal advice, and you may wish to consult an attorney.

8. Copyright & AI-generated content

Companion imagery, video, audio, and text on BetterSex are generated by artificial intelligence. Users cannot upload media, and the Service does not host a user-contributed content library.

Even so, we take copyright claims seriously. If you believe generated output reproduces a protected work — for example a distinctive character, artwork, or copyrighted text — you may submit a notice under this Policy and we will review it. Where output is found to reproduce a protected work, we may remove it, delete the companion involved, and add filtering to prevent that output from being generated again.

Claims concerning a real person's name, face, voice, or persona are generally rights-of-publicity or likeness matters rather than copyright matters, and are handled with priority under our Content Removal Policy.

9. Trademark & other claims

Trademark, right-of-publicity, defamation, and similar claims are not covered by the DMCA. Send these to compliance@bettersex.ai with a description of the right claimed, the basis for the claim, and where the material appears.

A general assertion that content was stolen may not contain everything required for an effective DMCA notice. We may still review the content under our Prohibited Content Policy.
