DMCA Policy

How Ad-API receives copyright complaints, disables content when appropriate, and handles counter-notices under 17 U.S.C. § 512.

Last updated:May 22, 2026

1. Overview

Ad-API respects the intellectual property rights of others and responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. When we receive a facially valid notice, we may investigate, disable access to the identified creative, and take related account action as required by law or our platform policies.

This policy applies to creatives, campaign assets, landing-page references, and other user-submitted content hosted or surfaced through Ad-API.

3. What a valid takedown notice must include

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
  • Identification of the allegedly infringing material, including URLs, creative IDs, campaign IDs, or other location data sufficient for us to find it.
  • Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the complained-of use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act for the copyright owner.

Full submission guidance is available on the takedown notice page.

4. Counter-notices

If you believe Ad-API removed or disabled your content by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice. A valid counter-notice must include your signature, the material that was removed, the location where it appeared before removal, and the statements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

Step-by-step instructions are available on the counter-notice guidance page.

5. How Ad-API responds

We review notices in the order received and aim to acknowledge facially complete submissions promptly. If a notice is incomplete, we may request clarification. If a notice appears valid, we may disable or remove access to the identified material while we process the claim.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may forward it to the original claimant and, absent notice of court action, restore the material after the statutory waiting period.

6. Repeat infringer policy

Ad-API maintains and reasonably implements a repeat infringer policy. Accounts associated with repeated copyright complaints or confirmed infringements may have creatives disabled, campaigns paused, submission privileges restricted, or accounts terminated.

Additional detail is published at /dmca/repeat-infringer-policy.

7. Misrepresentation warning

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, costs, and attorneys' fees.
