Copyright and intellectual property policy

Version in effect from: May 16, 2026

This policy sets out the rules for reporting infringements of copyright, related rights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights in the Yskra service operated by •••••••••••••••••. The procedure complies with:

  • the Polish Act of 4 February 1994 on Copyright and Related Rights,
  • the Polish Act of 18 July 2002 on Providing Services by Electronic Means,
  • Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 — the Digital Services Act (DSA), in particular art. 16 (notice-and-action),
  • Directive (EU) 2019/790 on copyright in the Digital Single Market.

§1. Content in the Service

  1. Content generated by the Service (AI characters, their names, biographies, avatars, dialogues) is authored by the Service Provider and is protected by copyrights belonging to the Service Provider or its contributors.
  2. The language models (LLMs) used in the Service are supplied by third parties (including OpenRouter, Inc. and Anthropic, PBC — both based in the USA) under the terms of their licences.
  3. Due to the nature of generative AI models, the Service Provider does not guarantee the full originality of outputs generated in response to User prompts. The Service Provider exercises due diligence so that generated content does not infringe third-party rights; however, ultimate responsibility for the way prompts and outputs are used lies with the User (see Community Guidelines).

§2. Infringement notice (notice-and-action)

If you have a reasonable suspicion that content in the Service infringes your copyright, related rights, trademark or other intellectual property right, please send a notice containing the following information:

  1. Notifier (rights holder) identification:
    • full name or company name,
    • correspondence address,
    • e-mail address (contact channel regarding the notice),
    • if represented — power of attorney (scan).
  2. Right identification:
    • description of the work / trademark (title, author, publication date, link),
    • proof of entitlement (e.g. UPRP/EUIPO/WIPO registration number, author's statement, licence agreement, fixation proof),
    • for trademarks — register extract or link to the UPRP/EUIPO database.
  3. Identification of the disputed content:
    • link/URL of the Service page where the disputed content is located,
    • content description (dated screenshot, character slug, photo ID),
    • justification of the infringement.
  4. Statements (required):
    • "I declare that I am entitled to pursue infringements of the indicated intellectual property right."
    • "I declare that the information in this notice is true. I am aware of criminal liability for making false statements (art. 233 § 1 of the Polish Penal Code)."
  5. Signature (scan of handwritten signature or a qualified e-signature).

§3. Notice addresses

The notice should be sent:

  • by e-mail: contact@yskra.pl with the subject line: "Copyright infringement",
  • by mail to: ••••••••••••••••••••••••, with the envelope note: "IP — infringement",
  • alternatively: via the /dsa form (if reporting as illegal content within the meaning of the DSA).

§4. Handling procedure

  1. Acknowledgement — within 5 working days we confirm receipt of the notice and assign a reference number.
  2. Verification — within 14 days we examine the notice on the merits. Where necessary we request completion of missing items.
  3. Action:
    • if the notice is well founded — we remove or block access to the disputed content within 72 hours of the decision,
    • if the notice requires further analysis or is unfounded — we issue a reasoned decision with information on the possibility of appeal.
  4. Notification of the "infringing" party — in accordance with DSA art. 16(5), we inform the User whose content has been blocked of the reason and the possibility of filing a counter-notice.

§5. Counter-notice (User objection)

  1. The User whose content has been blocked may, within 14 days of receipt of the notification, file a counter-notice.
  2. The counter-notice must contain:
    • User identification (as in the notice),
    • justification why the content does not infringe the notifier's rights (e.g. permitted use, expiry of protection, own work),
    • statement: "I declare, subject to criminal liability (art. 233 § 1 of the Polish Penal Code), that the content was blocked as a result of mistake or misidentification."
  3. After receipt of the counter-notice, the Service Provider notifies the original notifier, who has 10 days to confirm initiation of court proceedings or acceptance of the counter-notice as well founded.
  4. If the notifier does not confirm initiation of court proceedings within this period, the content will be restored.

§6. Repeat infringements

Accounts of Users who repeatedlygenerate content infringing copyrights (more than 3 confirmed notices within 12 months) are permanently blocked ("three strikes" rule — DSA art. 23).

§7. Unfounded notices

Submission of manifestly unfounded notices (mass notices, aimed at destroying competition, harassment) may result in restriction of the right to further notices from the same person for 6 months and compensation liability under art. 415 of the Polish Civil Code.

§8. Court proceedings and ADR

Regardless of the above internal procedure, the notifier and the User retain the right to pursue their rights in court (the general court competent for the seat of the Service Provider) and to use a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body (ADR) within the meaning of DSA art. 21.
