DMCA Policy
Effective: 14 September 2026·Last revised: 14 September 2026 — initial version
1. Our approach
PlayOnly (“the Service”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same.
We respond to notices of copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. §512) and other applicable copyright laws, including the Copyright Act of the Republic of Korea. Requests to suspend reproduction or transmission under the Korean Copyright Act can also be sent through the process in this Policy.
2. A note on AI-generated content
The characters on the Service are fictional and created by the operator. Character messages, and the photos and videos generated during a chat, are produced by AI.
If you believe a character, its images or any AI-generated output reproduces or uses your copyrighted work without permission, please report it using the process in this Policy.
3. Where to send a notice
Send notices of copyright infringement by email to our copyright agent:
PlayOnly Copyright Agent, admin@playonly.ai
Putting “Copyright notice” or “Counter-notification” in the subject line helps us find your message faster.
4. What a notice must include
Under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a valid notice must include all of the following:
- ·a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf;
- ·identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, for multiple works, a representative list);
- ·identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it (such as the character's name or the page address);
- ·your contact information, including your name, address, telephone number and email address;
- ·a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
- ·a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
We may be unable to act on a notice that lacks any required element, and may ask you to complete it. Before sending a notice, please also consider whether the use may be permitted by law, for example as fair use.
5. What we do when we receive a notice
When we receive a valid notice, we review the material reported and remove it or disable access to it.
Where the material was uploaded by a user or relates to a particular user, we may tell that user what we have done and pass on a copy or summary of the notice. We tell the person who sent the notice the outcome by email.
6. Counter-notification
If you believe material relating to you was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the contact in section 3. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), it must include all of the following:
- ·your physical or electronic signature;
- ·identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location where it appeared before it was removed or disabled;
- ·a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
- ·your name, address and telephone number;
- ·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, any judicial district in which the Service may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.
7. Restoring material
When we receive a valid counter-notification, we forward a copy of it to the person who sent the original notice.
Unless that person tells us they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity, we restore the removed material or re-enable access to it between 10 and 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification.
8. Misrepresentations
Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for the resulting damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
If you are unsure whether you have a valid claim, please consult a legal professional before sending a notice.
9. Repeat infringers
In appropriate circumstances, we terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright. In deciding, we take into account the number of valid notices, the seriousness of the infringement and whether counter-notifications were filed.
If a user whose account was terminated continues to use the Service through another account, we may terminate that account too.
10. Non-copyright issues and related policies
Requests on grounds other than copyright, such as content that uses your likeness or name or infringes your privacy, should be sent under the Content Removal Policy.
Please read this Policy together with the following documents.
