DMCA & Copyright Policy

blockforgeo.net respects the intellectual property of creators, and we expect our users to do the same. This policy explains how copyright owners can ask us to remove material from the blockforgeo.net website or the blockforgeo.net service (the “Service”) under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), how a user can respond with a counter-notice, how we deal with repeat infringers, how we handle notices about AI-generated outputs, and how rights holders outside the United States, including in Japan, can send takedown requests. blockforgeo.net is operated by CALDRIVO GLOBAL INC.

Our respect for intellectual property

blockforgeo.net is an online creative tool for game creators. In a web workspace, subscribers describe what they want and blockforgeo.net generates game assets with AI: thumbnails, icons, textures, clothing images, character renders (GFX), UI layouts and short sound effects. Our Terms of Service forbid using the Service to create, upload or share content that infringes anyone’s copyright, trademark or other rights, and every user is responsible for reviewing outputs before publishing them.

We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that meet the requirements of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. §512) or other applicable law. We do not charge any fee for handling notices or counter-notices.

What this policy covers

This policy applies to material that is stored on, or made available through, systems controlled by CALDRIVO GLOBAL INC, namely:

• content on our website, blockforgeo.net, including sample images, page text and FAQ answers;
• reference images that users upload to their blockforgeo.net workspace; and
• prompts and generated assets stored in a user’s blockforgeo.net workspace.

Previews made in the website’s free preview mode are drawn locally in the visitor’s browser and are not stored on our systems.

Generated assets are stored in the workspace of the account that created them and are not displayed publicly by blockforgeo.net. Once a user downloads an asset and publishes it elsewhere, for example in a game, on a game platform, on social media or on a marketplace, that copy is outside our systems and we cannot remove it. To remove material published on a third-party platform, send a notice to that platform through its own copyright process. You can also send us a notice as described below at the same time. If the notice is valid, we remove any copy stored in our Service and apply our repeat-infringer policy to the account concerned.

How to report copyright infringement

If you own a copyright, or are authorised to act for a copyright owner, and you believe that material on our website or in our Service infringes that copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent:

Email is the fastest way to reach us. Write “DMCA Notice” in the subject line so that we recognise your message as a copyright notice and handle it under this policy.

You can write in English or Japanese and send your notice by email or by post to the address above. We confirm receipt of each emailed notice within 2 business days.

Please use the subject line “DMCA Notice” only for copyright notices. For billing, refunds or cancellation, write to the same address with a subject that describes your request, or see our Refund Policy and Cancellation Policy.

What your notice must include

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a notice of claimed infringement must be a written communication that includes substantially all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of a person authorised to act on the owner’s behalf. Your typed full name at the end of an email is an acceptable electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed or, if one notice covers multiple works, a representative list of those works. Where possible, include a link to or description of the original work and any copyright registration number.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed or disabled, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it: for example, the URL of the page on our website, the file name or asset ID, the account email of the user if you know it, or a copy or screenshot of the material and where you found it.
4. Information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you, such as your full name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised 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 authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

If a notice does not substantially comply with these requirements, we may not be able to act on it. If it includes at least items 2, 3 and 4, we promptly contact you to ask for the missing information.

What we do after a valid notice

When we receive a notice that meets the requirements above, we:

• review it and, where necessary, ask you to clarify it;
• act expeditiously to remove the material identified in the notice or to disable access to it;
• notify the user whose material was removed, by email to the account email address, with a copy of the notice and an explanation of how to send a counter-notice;
• record one strike against the user’s account under our repeat-infringer policy (see below); and
• confirm to you by email what action we have taken.

The copy of the notice that we send to the user may include your name and the contact details you provide, because the user needs them to respond and, if necessary, to serve legal papers. If you do not want your personal details shared, an authorised agent such as a lawyer can send the notice on your behalf.

Removing an asset does not change the user’s plan or billing, and the credits used to generate it are not returned. We do not decide legal disputes between rights holders and users. If a dispute is not resolved through the notice and counter-notice process, the parties can take it to court.

Counter-notification

If material you uploaded or generated was removed or disabled because of a notice, and you believe in good faith that this happened because of a mistake or misidentification of the material, you can send a counter-notice to our designated agent at the address above, with the subject line “DMCA Counter-Notice”. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), a counter-notice must be in writing and include substantially the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location where it appeared before it was removed or disabled (for example, the file name, asset ID or URL given in our email to you).
3. 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
4. Your name, 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 your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which CALDRIVO GLOBAL INC may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or an agent of that person.

When we receive a valid counter-notice, we promptly send a copy to the person who sent the original notice and tell them that we will restore the removed material, or stop disabling access to it, in 10 business days. We then restore it no less than 10 and no more than 14 business days after we receive the counter-notice, unless our designated agent first receives notice from the original complainant that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our Service.

The copy we forward includes your name and contact details. If the material is restored after a valid counter-notice, we remove the strike recorded for that notice. Consider getting legal advice before you send a counter-notice.

Repeat-infringer policy

In line with 17 U.S.C. §512(i), we terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

• Each valid notice that leads us to remove material from an account counts as one strike against that account. If the notice is withdrawn, or the material is restored after a valid counter-notice, we remove the strike.
• An account that receives three strikes within any rolling 12-month period is terminated.
• We may terminate an account after fewer strikes, or immediately, if the infringement is deliberate or flagrant: for example, if an account is used mainly to copy other people’s works, or if the user uploads again material that we removed.
• A user whose account is terminated under this policy may not open a new account. Creating new accounts to avoid this policy also breaks our Terms of Service.

We tell the user by email each time a strike is recorded.

Termination ends the subscription immediately, and no further charges are made. If the account is still in its 1-hour free trial, the card is never charged.

Termination for repeated infringement is termination for breach of our Terms of Service, so fees for the rest of the paid year are not refunded, with two exceptions. First, while you are still within 30 days after an annual charge, you can ask for a refund under our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee by emailing support@blockforgeo.net: annual fee × unused credits ÷ 1,200, as described in our Refund Policy. Second, we refund where the law requires it. Assets that were not removed still belong to you under our Terms of Service, and the account’s stored data is deleted under the retention periods in our Privacy Policy.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by the copyright owner or its licensee, or by us.

Before you send a notice, consider whether the use might be authorised by a licence or permitted by law, for example as fair use. Copyright protects specific creative expression; it generally does not protect ideas, genres, game mechanics, art styles, common shapes or short phrases. If you are unsure whether material infringes your rights, get legal advice first. We may disregard notices and counter-notices that we reasonably believe are fraudulent, abusive or sent in bad faith.

Notices about AI-generated outputs

blockforgeo.net creates assets automatically with AI models. Our Terms forbid infringing use, but an output can sometimes resemble an existing work, character, logo or trademark, for example when a user asks for something in the style of a named game or puts a protected character in a prompt or reference image. We do not review outputs before users receive them. We do not use customers’ prompts, uploads or outputs to train AI models.

If you believe that a blockforgeo.net output infringes your copyright, send a DMCA notice as described above. To help us locate the material, include as much of the following as you can:

• a copy or screenshot of the output and of your original work, side by side if possible;
• where you found the output (for example, the URL of the game, platform page or post where it is published) and the name of the account or creator that published it;
• the file name, asset ID or creation date of the asset, if you know it; and
• why you believe the output copies protected elements of your work, rather than only sharing a general idea, theme or style.

When we can identify the asset in our Service, we remove it or disable access to it and handle the notice like any other notice: we notify the user and record a strike. If the output was generated from an infringing reference image that the user uploaded, we remove that reference image too. If we cannot match the material to an account (for example, because it was made with another tool or the user has already deleted it), we tell you. Copies published on game platforms or other websites are outside our control, so please also send a notice to those platforms.

Similar prompts can produce similar outputs for different users. Removing one user’s asset does not mean that other assets infringe, and a notice covers only the outputs it identifies.

Trademarks and other rights

The DMCA process applies only to copyright. If you believe that content on our website or in our Service infringes your trademark, or violates your right of publicity, your privacy or another right, email support@blockforgeo.net with the subject line “Rights Complaint”. Include your contact details, the right concerned (for a trademark, the mark, its registration number and the country of registration), the material and where to find it, and an explanation of the problem.

We review these complaints under our Terms of Service and the applicable law. We may remove material, ask the user for their response, or suspend or terminate accounts that break our rules. The counter-notice rules of §512(g) do not apply to these complaints, but we give the user a chance to respond where appropriate.

Rights holders outside the United States

We accept infringement notices from rights holders in any country. You do not need to cite U.S. law: a notice that contains the information listed in this policy is enough, whatever law it relies on. Notices can be written in English or Japanese.

Japan

Rights holders in Japan can also send takedown requests in the form commonly used under Japan’s Information Distribution Platform Act (formerly the Provider Liability Limitation Act), such as a request for measures to prevent the transmission of infringing information. Email the request to support@blockforgeo.net in Japanese or English, with the subject line “Takedown Request (Japan)” or its Japanese equivalent, and include:

• your name or company name, address, and email address or telephone number;
• the right you hold and the work or other subject matter concerned, with any documents that show you hold the right;
• the material to be removed and where it is located (URL, file name or asset ID, or a screenshot);
• how and why the material infringes your right;
• a statement that the contents of the request are true, and that you agree that we may send the request, including your name, to the user concerned; and
• your name and signature or seal (for email, a typed name is accepted).

After we receive a request, we review it. Where appropriate, we send the request to the user who stored the material and ask whether they agree to its removal. We remove the material or disable access to it, and tell you that we have done so, if the user does not tell us within 7 days of our inquiry that they object, or if we have reasonable grounds to believe that your right is infringed. If the user objects and the infringement is not clear, we tell you that we have not removed the material and why. You can then pursue the matter with the user directly or in court. A removal under this section counts as a strike under our repeat-infringer policy in the same way as a removal after a DMCA notice.

We handle requests for disclosure of a user’s identity (sender information) under the applicable law. We disclose information that identifies a user only with that user’s consent or when a court order or other legal obligation requires it.

European Union, United Kingdom and other countries

Rights holders in the European Union, the United Kingdom and elsewhere can use the same email address. We assess each notice under the law that applies and act on it as described in this policy. Nothing in this policy limits any right you have under your local law.
