DMCA / Content Takedown

Draft — not yet in effect. This policy takes effect only once the Operator fill-in (designated agent) block is completed — with a real, monitored agent name and address — and the effective date is set. It is provided as-is and is not legal advice.

Effective date: not in effect until set (see Operator fill-in). Last updated: see Operator fill-in.

How Sigildex handles indexed content

Sigildex indexes publicly available SKILL.md content and metadata from public source platforms. To operate discovery, inspection, and verification, Sigildex stores normalized copies of indexed SKILL.md content in its own database and serves those copies (for example, full content via /inspect and excerpts via /discover), alongside links to the original sources. The underlying skills remain the property of their original authors; Sigildex does not author, sell, or endorse them. We respect intellectual-property rights and, in response to a valid notice, will remove the stored copy from our index and make it unservable — not merely hide it from search results — as described below. Because the material may also exist at its original source, the most complete remedy is usually to also contact the platform that actually hosts it.

Filing a copyright notice

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act for one) and believe content indexed or served by Sigildex infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent (see below). To be effective, your notice should include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the owner, or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and that you want removed or disabled, with enough detail for us to locate it — for our index, please provide the Sigildex source URL, skill identifier, or content hash and, where possible, the original source URL.
4. Your contact information — name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized 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 the owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Notices that omit required elements may be invalid or delay our response. Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly materially misrepresenting that material is infringing can expose you to liability for damages.

What happens after a valid notice

Upon receiving a notice we determine to be valid, we will act expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the identified material itself — that is, we will delete or block the stored copy so that it is no longer served by /inspect, /discover, or /verify, in addition to removing it from search results. We may notify the affected author or publisher and provide them a copy of the notice. Removing the copy from Sigildex does not delete the material at its original source; that is controlled by the hosting platform.

Counter-notification

If you are an author or publisher and believe your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to the designated agent below. To be effective, it should include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location (for example, the Sigildex source URL, skill identifier, or content hash) at which it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, the judicial district in which the operator may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice (or their agent).

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material in accordance with applicable law (under the U.S. DMCA, typically not less than 10 nor more than 14 business days after we forward the counter-notice to the original complainant, unless the complainant first notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity).

Repeat-infringer policy

We have adopted, and will reasonably implement, a policy of terminating — in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion — the indexing and serving of content from sources, publishers, or accounts that are repeat infringers. This includes removing the stored copies associated with a repeat infringer and declining to re-index, or blocking, sources that repeatedly generate valid infringement notices.

Other removal requests

For non-copyright removal requests — for example, content you believe is unlawful, a security concern, or a privacy issue — contact us using the email in the Operator fill-in block below (pre-launch interim contact: security@sigildex.ai) with the Sigildex source URL, skill identifier, or content hash and the basis for the request.
