DMCA & Copyright Policy

Where copyrighted material lives on CourtFlow. CourtFlow AI is designed so that customer-uploaded documents (court filings, client materials) are written directly to the customer's own Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive, not to CourtFlow servers. As a result, the volume of third-party-uploaded content actually hosted by CourtFlow is small — limited to public marketing surfaces, AI-generated content, the public probate intake portal, the free filing analyzer, and similar tools. CourtFlow nonetheless follows the notice-and-takedown procedure of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, for any infringing content that does reside on our infrastructure.

1. Designated Agent

CourtFlow AI's designated agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2) is:

To be effective, an infringement notification must be sent to the designated agent above. Notices delivered to other addresses (general support, sales chat, individual employees) may be delayed in routing and do not start the response clock under §512(c)(1)(C).

2. Notice of Claimed Infringement

To submit a notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), the complaining party must provide a written communication that includes substantially all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the owner, or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or — if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification — a representative list of such works.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit CourtFlow to locate the material (a specific URL on courtflow.ai is strongly preferred).
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit CourtFlow to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that the complaining party has 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.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

An incomplete or facially deficient notice will not impose actual knowledge on CourtFlow under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(1)(A) but we will, where the notice substantially identifies a real concern, attempt to follow up before closing it.

3. CourtFlow's Response to a Valid Notice

Upon receipt of a notice that substantially complies with § 512(c)(3), CourtFlow will:

• Expeditiously remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice;
• Take reasonable steps to notify the subscriber who uploaded or generated the material, including by forwarding a copy of the notice;
• Log the action in our internal compliance record; and
• For repeat or pattern-of-violation behavior, evaluate the affected account against our repeat-infringer policy below.

4. Counter-Notice

A subscriber whose material has been removed or disabled may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) by sending CourtFlow's designated agent a written communication that includes substantially all of the following:

• The subscriber's physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before removal;
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• The subscriber's name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the judicial district in which the subscriber's address is located (or, if the subscriber is outside the United States, the U.S. District Court for any judicial district in which CourtFlow may be found), and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notice or that person's agent.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, CourtFlow will forward a copy to the complaining party and inform them that CourtFlow will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days unless the complaining party files an action seeking a court order against the subscriber.

5. Repeat-Infringer Policy

It is CourtFlow's policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, to terminate the accounts of subscribers who are repeat infringers of copyright. "Repeat infringer" for purposes of this policy means a subscriber who has been the subject of two or more valid § 512(c)(3) notices that were not successfully rebutted by counter-notice or otherwise resolved in the subscriber's favor within a rolling twelve-month window, although CourtFlow may terminate at any time where the facts and circumstances warrant.

6. Misrepresentations

Section 512(f) of the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents in a § 512(c)(3) notice that material is infringing, or in a § 512(g)(3) counter-notice that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or by CourtFlow.

7. Other Intellectual Property Claims

This policy addresses copyright. For trademark, right-of-publicity, defamation, or other intellectual-property concerns, please contact legal@courtflow.ai with a description of the issue and the URL of the material at issue; we will respond as appropriate to the nature of the claim.
