Copyright / DMCA Policy
Last updated: July 3, 2026
1. Third-Party Content and Ownership
CreativeBuddy.ai surfaces and displays publicly available video content created and published by third-party creators on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. We present this content for research, education, and creative inspiration so that mortgage and real estate professionals can understand what is performing on social media. All such content remains the property of the creators and rights holders who made it. CreativeBuddy.ai claims no ownership of, and asserts no rights in, any third-party content displayed through the Service. We do not authorize or license the reproduction, download, or redistribution of that content by our users.
2. How to File a Takedown Notice
CreativeBuddy.ai respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. section 512). If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that material displayed through the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notice of claimed infringement to our Designated Agent (see Section 4). To be effective under 17 U.S.C. section 512(c)(3), your notice must include substantially all of the following six elements:
- 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, if multiple works, a representative list);
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed, together with information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it - including the URL or content identifier of the item within the CreativeBuddy.ai app;
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of 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 copyright owner's behalf.
You may submit these elements using the form below, or by emailing our Designated Agent at the address in Section 4. Upon receipt of a compliant notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material and will purge the corresponding stored copy from our systems.
3. Misrepresentations
Under 17 U.S.C. section 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Please do not make false claims.
4. Designated Agent
Notices of claimed infringement should be directed to our Designated Agent:
- Designated Agent: CreativeBuddy.ai DMCA Agent, InIt Coaching LLC
- Address: [to be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office]
- Email: dmca@creativebuddy.ai
5. Counter-Notice Process
If your content was removed or disabled in response to a takedown notice and you believe the removal was the result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notice to our Designated Agent. Under 17 U.S.C. section 512(g)(3), an effective counter-notice must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or disabled;
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and 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 outside the United States, any judicial district in which CreativeBuddy.ai may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we may forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may, at our discretion, restore the removed material.
6. Repeat-Infringer Policy
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, CreativeBuddy.ai has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of the intellectual property rights of others.
