WAVE respects the intellectual-property rights of others and responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. This policy applies to all WAVE services operated by WAVE Online LLC — including WAVE Render, the api.wave.online API, the WAVE CLI, the MCP integrations, and any other WAVE surface that hosts, stores, or transmits user-supplied content.

Designated agent

WAVE Online LLC has designated the following agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement. Send all DMCA notices and counter-notices to:

WAVE Online LLC — DMCA Designated Agent
Attn: DMCA Agent
30 N Gould St #10491
Sheridan, WY 82801
United States

Phone: +1 888 814 9283
Email: dmca@wave.online

Note: this contact is for copyright-infringement notices only. General inquiries sent here will not receive a response.

Filing a notice of infringement

To be effective, a notice of claimed infringement must be a written communication provided to the designated agent above that includes substantially the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of such works).
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed or disabled, including the URL of the infringing render or other information reasonably sufficient for us to locate the material.
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you: your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

If you knowingly materially misrepresent that material is infringing, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

Our process

Upon receipt of a notice that substantially complies with § 512(c)(3), we expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified render URL. Because spot renders are ephemeral — served from signed, expiring, content-addressed URLs — a takedown means we revoke the URL, purge the cached artifact, and record the settlement ID for our records. Where practicable, we take reasonable steps to notify the affected user that the material has been removed or disabled.

Counter-notification

If you believe your material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the designated agent under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). A valid counter-notice must include substantially the following:

  • Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  • 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.
  • Your name, mailing 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, any judicial district in which WAVE Online LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice of infringement or an agent of that person.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we may forward it to the party who submitted the original notice. We may restore the removed material in not less than 10 nor more than 14 business days following receipt of the counter-notice, unless the designated agent first receives notice that the complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity. Knowingly materially misrepresenting that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may subject you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

Repeat-infringer policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), WAVE Online LLC has adopted and reasonably implements a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the accounts and wallets of users who are repeat infringers.

Use of WAVE Render is also governed by our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.
