Copyright / DMCA Policy

CloseFlow Ink is operated by Line and Point LLC (“CloseFlow Ink,” “we,” “us”) and respects the intellectual-property rights of others. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and we provide a notice mechanism for users in the European Union under the Digital Services Act (“DSA”).

1. Designated Copyright Agent

Notices of claimed copyright infringement should be sent to our Designated Agent, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office:

2. Filing a takedown notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your written notice to the Designated Agent 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, for multiple works, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (for example, the URL or the account or upload identifier within CloseFlow Ink).
4. Your contact information — name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. 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 owner’s behalf.

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.

3. Our response

Upon receiving a compliant notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material and will take reasonable steps to notify the user who uploaded it that the material has been removed or disabled.

4. Counter-notice

If you believe your material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the Designated Agent under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled 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 or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
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 judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Line and Point LLC 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-notice, we may restore the removed material in 10 to 14 business days after receipt, unless our Designated Agent first receives notice from the original complainant that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

5. Repeat-infringer policy

We have adopted and will reasonably implement a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. We track infringement notices against accounts and may limit access to or terminate accounts that infringe intellectual-property rights.

6. Trademark, publicity & other rights

The DMCA safe harbor covers copyright only. We also accept reports of trademark, right-of-publicity, and other violations at abuse@closeflowink.com and may remove violating content. Users are responsible for ensuring they own or have permission to use any image, design, logo, or likeness they upload, including tattoo reference images.

7. European Union users — DSA notice-and-action

If you are in the European Union, you may notify us of content you consider illegal (including IP-infringing content) by emailing copyright@closeflowink.com or abuse@closeflowink.com. To help us act, your notice should include a sufficiently substantiated explanation of why you believe the content is illegal, the exact electronic location of the content (for example, the exact URL), your name and email address (except for notices concerning certain offenses involving minors), and a statement confirming your good-faith belief that the information is accurate and complete. We process notices in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary, and objective manner, confirm receipt, and, where we take action, provide the affected user with a clear statement of reasons.
