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 WAVE Render and related surfaces (api.wave.online/render, the CLI, and the MCP integrations).

Designated agent

Send DMCA notices to WAVE's designated agent:

Filing a notice of infringement

A valid notice must include the statutory elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
  • Identification of the infringing material, including the URL of the infringing render, sufficient for us to locate it.
  • Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, and email address).
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Our process

Upon receipt of a valid notice, we expeditiously disable 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.

Counter-notice

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

  • Identification of the material that was disabled and the location at which it appeared before it was disabled.
  • A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • 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 outside the United States, any judicial district in which WAVE may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the complaining party.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, 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.
