DMCA and Copyright Policy
How copyright owners can report allegedly infringing marketplace resources or media.
Copyright reports
ARK Store respects legitimate intellectual property rights. Copyright owners or authorized agents can report resources, images, downloads, descriptions, or other public content they believe infringes their rights.
A useful report should identify the copyrighted work, identify the ARK Store URL or resource at issue, explain the claimed infringement, provide contact information, and include a statement that the reporter is authorized to act.
Review process
ARK Store may disable access to allegedly infringing content while reviewing a credible notice. The affected creator may be contacted for context, correction, removal, or counter-notice handling where appropriate.
Incomplete, abusive, or inaccurate reports may delay action. Reports should target specific content rather than broad categories or unrelated resources.
Counter-notices
Creators who believe content was removed by mistake may provide a clear explanation, ownership evidence, license evidence, or other relevant documentation. ARK Store may restore, keep disabled, or permanently remove content based on the record and applicable obligations.
Repeat issues
Accounts repeatedly publishing infringing, leaked, stolen, or unauthorized resources may lose publishing access, buyer trust features, payout eligibility, or account access.
Continue with context
Use resource pages, version history, creator profiles, compatibility metadata, and support conversations before putting a marketplace resource into production.
