This DMCA policy sets out how HeadcanonLab handles copyright complaints. We respect intellectual property rights and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Last updated: September 2026.

If you believe content on HeadcanonLab infringes a copyright you own or represent, send a takedown notice.
Your notice must include:
Incomplete notices slow everything down. The list above is what the DMCA requires, not a formality we invented.

Send DMCA notices through our contact page or by email to info@headcanonlab.xyz.
On receiving a valid notice we will promptly remove or disable access to the material in question. Repeat infringement is grounds for us to block a source of content entirely.
Because the generators assemble text on the fly rather than storing articles, most complaints concern a specific published page rather than tool output. Telling us the exact URL is therefore the single most useful thing in a notice, and the thing most often left out.

Notices are handled by a person, not a queue system, so a short delay is normal. We aim to acknowledge within 48 hours and act on valid notices promptly.
The process runs like this:
If your notice is incomplete we will say what is missing rather than ignore it. General background on the process is published by the US Copyright Office section 512 resources.

A takedown notice is a legal statement, not a complaint form. Filing one in bad faith carries real consequences.
Before you send one:
Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, under section 512(f) of the DMCA.

This DMCA policy sits alongside the other terms that govern the site.
Our terms of service cover acceptable use, the disclaimer explains what generated content is and is not, and the privacy policy covers data and advertising.

If material of yours was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice.
It should identify the removed material and where it appeared, and include a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was taken down in error. Write to the same address.
Include your name, address and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court. If we receive a valid counter-notice we may restore the material after the statutory waiting period unless the original complainant files a court action first.
