Copyright and IP Policy

Effective Date: 


Smallest Inc. (“Smallest,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Services to do the same. This Copyright Policy describes the process for reporting alleged copyright infringement relating to content made available through the Services, including user-submitted materials, generated outputs, shared content, and other materials transmitted, stored, generated, or made accessible through the Services.

Smallest may act solely as a technology provider, intermediary, or infrastructure provider with respect to certain content, outputs, or customer activities. Submission of a copyright complaint does not establish that any material is infringing, and Smallest does not adjudicate ownership disputes or make legal determinations regarding the validity of infringement claims.

Smallest responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

Reporting Alleged Copyright Infringement

If you believe that content made available through the Services infringes your copyright, you may submit a written DMCA notice to Smallest’s designated agent.

Your notice must include substantially all of the following information:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive copyright interest; 

  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works; 

  3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, including information reasonably sufficient to permit Smallest to locate the material. 

  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Smallest to contact you, such as your name and email address; 

  1. 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; and 

  2. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that: 

    • the information in the notification is accurate; and 

    • you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. 

UNDER FEDERAL LAW, IF YOU KNOWINGLY MISREPRESENT THAT ONLINE MATERIAL IS INFRINGING, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION FOR PERJURY AND CIVIL PENALTIES, INCLUDING MONETARY DAMAGES, COURT COSTS, AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES.

DMCA notices should be submitted to:

Smallest Inc.
Attn: DMCA Agent
447 Sutter Street, Suite 405 #302, San Francisco, CA 94108
Email: legalteam@smallest.ai

Smallest’s Response

Upon receipt of a facially valid DMCA notice, Smallest may:

  • remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice; 

  • notify the relevant account holder, workspace owner, or user associated with the material, where reasonably practicable; 

  • request additional information from the complaining party or affected user; 

  • or take any other action Smallest deems appropriate in its discretion. 

Smallest reserves the right to reject or disregard notices that are incomplete, invalid, fraudulent, automated, abusive, or otherwise deficient.

Smallest also reserves the right to remove or disable access to content alleged to be infringing at its discretion and without prior notice.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Smallest has adopted and reasonably implemented a policy providing for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users or accounts that are determined by Smallest to be repeat infringers.

Smallest may also suspend or terminate accounts involved in repeated, egregious, or abusive intellectual property violations, impersonation activity, synthetic media abuse, or other misuse of the Services.

Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that material you submitted was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to Smallest’s DMCA Agent containing the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature; 

  2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled; 

  3. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address; 

  4. 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; and 

  5. 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 your address is outside the United States, the Northern District of California; and 

    • you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original infringement notice or that person’s agent. 

If Smallest receives a valid counter-notification, Smallest may forward it to the complaining party. Unless the complaining party notifies Smallest that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, Smallest may restore the removed material within 10 - 14 days after receipt of the counter-notification.

Please note that this Copyright and IP Policy does not constitute legal advice.
