Copyright / DMCA Policy

kott respects intellectual-property rights and expects its users to do the same. If you believe content published or shared through kott (for example a preset in the gallery, or content behind a share link) infringes your copyright, you can send us a notice under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and we will respond as described below. This policy is part of our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.

Send copyright notices and counter-notices to:

support@kott.io
kott — Ievgeniia Onokhova, California, United States

Please put COPYRIGHT in the subject line. We read every notice sent here and act on valid ones as described below, whether or not it is framed as a formal DMCA notice.

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

(1) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized 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 claimed to be infringing and enough information for us to locate it (for example the preset/share URL); (4) your contact information — name, address, telephone number and email; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (6) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, if you materially misrepresent that material is infringing.

On receiving a valid notice, we will expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material, make a reasonable effort to notify the user who posted it, and forward the notice (which may include your contact details) to that user so they can decide whether to submit a counter-notice.

If you are the user whose content was removed and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice that includes: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the material that was removed 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 as a result of mistake or misidentification; and (4) your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the district of your address (or, if outside the U.S., any district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the complaining party or its agent.

If you send a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

In appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, we will disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers, as the DMCA’s repeat-infringer provisions contemplate and consistent with our Terms.

For trademark or other (non-copyright) intellectual-property complaints, contact us at the address above with details of your right and the allegedly infringing material; we will review and act as appropriate under our policies and applicable law.

If you are in the EU, in addition to (or instead of) the DMCA process, you may submit a notice of allegedly illegal content — including IP infringement — under the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) notice-and-action mechanism. We will handle such notices diligently and in a non-arbitrary way, act on valid notices, and provide the notifying party and the affected user with a statement of reasons and information about redress and appeal where required. DSA notices: support@kott.io.
