Copyright & Intellectual Property

If you believe content shared on a MindWiki surface infringes your copyright, you may file a notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to abuse@mindwiki.io. Include all six elements below — incomplete notices may be returned for completion.

1. A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit MindWiki to locate the material — typically a direct URL or the MindWiki identifier of the shared page.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit MindWiki to contact you — address, telephone number, and email.
5. 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.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

1. Acknowledgement within 1 business day of receipt of a complete notice.
2. Action — for facially valid notices we expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material from MindWiki shared surfaces.
3. Notification to the alleged infringer — we notify the user whose content was removed, with the substantive elements of the notice, so they can submit a counter-notice if they have a basis to do so.
4. Repeat infringers — accounts accumulating multiple substantiated notices are terminated under our repeat-infringer policy.

Note that the affected content may also remain in the user's private vault even after we've removed it from a shared surface; takedown applies to the publicly-or-third-party-accessible copy. If you have reason to believe the user's entire account should be terminated (for example, large- scale repeat infringement), tell us in the notice and we'll evaluate accordingly.

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or that you have the right to use the material, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) to the same address. Include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled.
3. 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.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, plus a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the US 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 MindWiki may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the original complainant. Unless the complainant informs us that they have filed an action seeking a court order against you within 10 business days, we may restore the removed material in 10 to 14 business days.

Accounts that receive multiple substantiated infringement notices will be terminated. We track notices on a per-account basis and use the following indicative thresholds:

• First substantiated notice — warning, content removal.
• Second substantiated notice — feature suspension (sharing disabled) and a final written warning.
• Third substantiated notice — account termination.

Severity matters; a single notice involving very large-scale infringement, commercial piracy, or evident bad-faith infringement may justify immediate termination.

For trademark infringement claims, email abuse@mindwiki.io with:

• The trademark, registration number / jurisdiction if registered, and a description of how it's used in commerce.
• The MindWiki page / surface where the alleged infringement appears.
• Why you believe the use is infringing (vs. descriptive, nominative, comparative, or otherwise non-infringing).
• Your contact information and authority to make the claim.

Referential and comparative use of trademarks ("works with X", "import from X") is generally fair and is unlikely to constitute infringement absent confusion.

Materially false notices may violate 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Persons or entities who submit notices in bad faith, or who repeatedly file notices we determine to be invalid, may be ignored or banned from future filings.
