Takedown procedure.

What AI Would Buy respects intellectual property rights and removes content found to be infringing. This page describes how to submit a notice for content visible on this Site. For minor corrections (logo swap, name spelling, editorial description), see the Trademark Policy — it is faster than a formal takedown.

01Where to send the notice.

Email: legal@whataiwouldbuy.com

Use the subject line “Takedown — [your brand or work]”. Notices sent to other addresses or via social media may be missed. We will acknowledge receipt and confirm a contact channel for follow-up correspondence; a postal address is provided on request where required by law.

02DMCA notice (U.S. — 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)).

To be effective, your notice must include all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorised to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works).
  3. Identification of the material on the Site that is claimed to be infringing, including a direct URL.
  4. Your contact information: name, postal address, telephone, and email.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act for the rights-holder.

Knowingly false claims expose you to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

03EU / UK / other jurisdictions.

For requests under the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation 2022/2065 Art. 16), the UK Electronic Commerce Regulations 2002, or comparable national laws, send a notice that includes:

  • A sufficient explanation of why the material is allegedly illegal or infringing.
  • The exact URL of the material.
  • Your name and a means to contact you.
  • A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge.
  • A description of the rights-holder you act for, where relevant.

04What we do with valid notices.

On receipt of a notice that meets the elements above, we will acknowledge within seven business days, evaluate the claim, and — if the claim is well-founded — remove or disable access to the material. We may also notify the original source (e.g. the language-model provider) where applicable and, in the case of repeat infringement, we will terminate access for the responsible parties.

05Counter-notices.

If you believe content was removed or disabled in error, you may file a counter-notice. A counter-notice must include items 1–6 above plus a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate U.S. federal district court (for U.S. residents) or the courts of your country of residence.

06Privacy of the notice.

We may forward the full notice (including your contact details) to the alleged infringer or to other parties as required by law. Do not include information you do not want disclosed.
