Copyright, Trademark and Takedown Policy

Last updated: 28 September 2026

Lumy respects the intellectual property of others and expects everyone who uses Lumy to do the same. This policy explains how rightsholders can ask us to remove content that infringes their copyright or trademark, how makers can respond, and how we act. It forms part of our Terms of Service. We follow a notice-and-takedown process modelled on the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act and apply it worldwide, in addition to any process the local law requires.

1. Where to send notices

• Online (preferred): /abuse, choosing "Copyright notice", "Counter-notice", "Trademark complaint" or "Takedown appeal".
• Formal notices by email: our designated notices address, hello@luminary.gg.

Copyright notices are treated as urgent, and we aim to give a first reply within 24 hours on business days. Notices sent any other way, or incomplete notices, may not be processed.

2. Copyright notices

A notice must be in writing and include all of the following:

1. identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or a representative list if several works are involved;
2. the exact link to each Lumy project or page containing the material (for example its /p/ address), and a description of the material so we can find it;
3. your full name, address, telephone number and email address;
4. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
5. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner of the right or authorised to act for the owner; and
6. your physical or electronic signature (your full typed name is enough).

Incomplete notices are not processed. Before sending a notice, please consider whether the use may be permitted, for example as fair use, fair dealing or an idea, genre or mechanic that is not protected by copyright.

3. What we do with a valid notice

• We remove or disable access to the material, or the whole project, usually promptly.
• We tell the project's owner that we did so, and why, and may give them a copy of the notice, including your name and contact details.
• We may also remove remixes that contain the same material.
• We may keep records of notices and may share them with others, including with organisations that collect takedown notices for transparency, after removing personal contact details.

4. Counter-notices

If your project was removed because of a copyright notice and you believe that was a mistake or that you have the right to use the material, you may send a counter-notice through /abuse. It must include:

1. identification of the material that was removed and the link where it appeared;
2. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification;
3. your full name, address, telephone number and email address;
4. a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts for the district where your address is located (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which Lumy may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the notice or their agent; and
5. your physical or electronic signature.

We send a valid counter-notice, including your contact details, to the person who filed the original notice. The project may be restored after 10 to 14 business days unless the claimant tells us they have started legal action. We may decide not to restore content that breaks our Acceptable Use Policy or other rules, whatever the outcome of the counter-notice.

5. Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the rights of others, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion. We may count a single removal of several works, or a pattern of deceptive clones, as repeated infringement. People whose accounts are terminated under this policy may not open new accounts.

6. Trademark complaints

If you believe a project uses your trademark in a way that is likely to confuse people about its source, sponsorship or affiliation, send a trademark complaint through /abuse with:

1. the trademark, the country or region where it is registered, and the registration number (or evidence of unregistered rights);
2. the link to each project and a description of the use;
3. an explanation of the confusion caused;
4. your full name, relationship to the trademark owner and contact details; and
5. a statement that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

We may remove or change the project, its name or its address, ask the owner to change it, or decline to act where the use appears lawful, for example descriptive, comparative or non-commercial reference. We may share your complaint with the project's owner.

7. Similarity and references

Projects are built from the requests their makers give. A maker's requests are recorded with the project, and the maker is solely responsible for any similarity to existing works. We may use those records when we assess a notice. See our AI Output, References and Similarity Policy.

8. Appeals

If your project was taken down for a reason other than a copyright notice, or you disagree with a trademark decision, you may appeal once per decision through /abuse. A different person reviews the appeal, and we aim to answer within 10 business days where possible. Decisions after appeal are final.

9. False or abusive notices

Sending a notice or counter-notice that you know is false, or that is made in bad faith, for example to harm a competitor or silence criticism, may make you liable for damages, including our costs and legal fees, under applicable law. We may refuse to process notices from people who abuse this process, and we may suspend or terminate the accounts involved.

10. No legal advice

We cannot give legal advice about whether something infringes. If you are unsure, please consult a lawyer before sending a notice or counter-notice.
