Copyright & DMCA Policy

Last updated: May 31, 2026

Avorio respects the intellectual property of others and expects its users to do the same. Avorio lets people create, import, and share study content — including shared decks, publicly listed decks, and (where available) third-party plugins. This policy explains how copyright owners can report material they believe infringes their rights, how a user whose content was removed can respond, and what happens to users who repeatedly infringe. We operate this process under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.

1. What this covers

This policy applies to user-submitted content that Avorio stores or makes available to others — in particular shared decks, publicly listed decks, profile content, and third-party plugin listings. Read it alongside our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, which prohibit uploading or sharing content you don't have the rights to.

2. Designated Copyright Agent

Send copyright infringement notices to our Designated Agent for receiving notifications of claimed infringement:

DMCA Designated Agent

[REGISTERED AGENT NAME — e.g. “Copyright Agent, Cognifer Labs LLC”]

Cognifer Labs LLC (trading as Avorio)

[REGISTERED PHYSICAL MAILING ADDRESS]

[TELEPHONE NUMBER]

Email: dmca@avorio.ai

Our agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office's DMCA Designated Agent Directory. Notices that do not substantially comply with the requirements below may not be effective.

3. How to report infringement (takedown notice)

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your written notice to the Designated Agent above 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 you claim has been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works).
  3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and that you want removed, with enough detail for us to locate it — for example, the shared-deck link or ID, the username, or the plugin listing.
  4. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Note on penalties: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Please don't send a notice for material you don't actually hold rights to.

4. What happens after we receive a notice

  • We will expeditiously remove or disable access to the material identified in a valid notice.
  • We will make a reasonable effort to notify the user who posted the material that it was removed, and forward them a copy of the notice so they can respond.
  • We may, in appropriate cases, terminate the account responsible (see our repeat-infringer policy below).

5. Counter-notification

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the Designated Agent. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), it must include substantially all of the following:

  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.
  4. Your name, mailing 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 U.S., any district in which Avorio may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice (or their agent).

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

6. Repeat-infringer policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), and in appropriate circumstances, Avorio will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. We track copyright complaints against accounts; an account that accumulates repeated valid infringement notices, or a single instance of egregious infringement, may be suspended or permanently terminated at our discretion.

7. Trademark and other IP complaints

For trademark, publicity, or other non-copyright intellectual property concerns, email dmca@avorio.ai with a description of the issue, the material at issue, and the basis for your claim. The counter-notification process above applies specifically to copyright takedowns under the DMCA.

8. Changes

We'll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page when this policy changes. Material changes are notified via email and an in-app banner.
