Copyright & DMCA Policy

Last updated: July 13, 2026

Plain-language summary (not a substitute for the full policy): Cuely hosts content our users upload — photos, logos, documents, and the pages they share with their clients. If you believe something hosted on Cuely infringes your copyright, email our designated agent with the details below and we'll act quickly. Users who repeatedly infringe lose their accounts.

1. Overview

This policy describes how Abbott Media LLC, doing business as Cuely ("Cuely," "we," "us"), responds to claims of copyright infringement on the Cuely website and application (the "Service"), consistent with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 (the "DMCA").

Cuely is a platform: our users upload and publish their own content — images, logos, documents, proposals, and client-facing pages. We respect the intellectual-property rights of others, we expect our users to do the same (see our Terms of Service), and we respond expeditiously to valid infringement notices.

2. Reporting copyright infringement (takedown notice)

If you believe content hosted on the Service infringes your copyright, send our designated agent a written notice that includes all of the following (per 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or a representative list, if the notice covers multiple works);
Identification of the material you claim is infringing and enough information for us to locate it — the exact URL of the Cuely page is the most helpful;
Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Notices that are missing required elements may not be effective under the DMCA, and we may ask you to complete them before acting.

3. Our designated agent

Send DMCA notices and counter-notices to our designated copyright agent:

DMCA Designated Agent — Abbott Media LLC (d/b/a Cuely)
Email: ryan@hellocuely.com (subject line: "DMCA Notice")
Mailing address and phone: as listed in our designation (Registration No. DMCA-1075528) in the U.S. Copyright Office's DMCA Designated Agent Directory.

Email is the fastest way to reach us and is monitored on business days.

4. What happens when we receive a notice

When we receive a valid takedown notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material. We will then make a reasonable effort to notify the user who posted it, provide them a copy of the notice, and record the event against their account for the purposes of our repeat-infringer policy (Section 6).

5. Counter-notices

If material you posted was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send our designated agent a written counter-notice that includes all of the following (per 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):

Your physical or electronic signature;
Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal;
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which Cuely 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-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless they notify us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, we may restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days of receiving the counter-notice.

6. Repeat infringers

We will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances, and we may suspend or terminate any account after even a single instance of clear, willful infringement. We may also, at our discretion, limit access to the Service by users who repeatedly upload content that draws credible infringement complaints, whether or not a formal DMCA notice was filed.

7. Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that material was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Please make sure your notice or counter-notice is accurate before sending it.
