DMCA Copyright Policy

Cloudinary Inc. ("Cloudinary") respects the intellectual property rights of others and requests the users of its services to do the same. If you believe that certain content, which appears on Cloudinary cloud-based image management solution (the "Service"), infringes upon copyrights that you own or represent, you may send Cloudinary's designated copyright agent ("Copyright Agent") a written notification, stating the location of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, in accordance with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").

Upon your notification, Cloudinary may remove or disable access to any such content.

To be effective, your notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication provided to the Copyright Agent that includes substantially the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed via using the Service, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to infringe or to be the subject of infringing activity and that access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Cloudinary to locate the material;
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Cloudinary to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted;
  5. 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;
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Following receipt of your communication, Cloudinary may ask you to provide further or supplemental information, prior to removing any content which was displayed on the Service, as Cloudinary deems necessary to comply with the provisions of the DMCA. Cloudinary may also provide the registered user who uploaded the allegedly infringing content with your contact details, in order for that person to be able to contact you directly and communicate with you regarding your notification.

Repeat infringements

Cloudinary may deny or cancel any individual use of the Service, or terminate your user account, if Cloudinary determines in its sole discretion that you are a repeat infringer. A repeat infringer is a user who has been notified of infringing activity more than once or a user that his or her uploaded material was removed from the Service more than once. Cloudinary may decide, at its sole discretion that a sufficient reason exists for the immediate termination of your account for any reason, at any time. In these case Cloudinary may terminate your account immediately. Cloudinary may notify you that it canceled your account by sending a message to the e-mail address that you provided during the registration process. Such notification will come into effect immediately.
