DMCA & Copyright Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-24 Effective: 2026-05-24
FlowLibs respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects the people who use the Service to do the same. This DMCA & Copyright Policy explains how to report material on flowlibs.com that you believe infringes your copyright, and how someone whose material was removed can respond. It is part of, and incorporated into, the FlowLibs Terms of Service and works alongside the Acceptable Use Policy.
The Service is operated by Aron Brown d/b/a FlowLibs ("FlowLibs," "we," "us," or "our"), from Oklahoma, United States. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement consistent with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the "DMCA," 17 U.S.C. § 512).
1. Scope — what this covers
This policy applies to material hosted on or made available through the Service, including:
- User-generated content such as comments posted on flow and pattern pages (and community pattern submissions, once that feature is available).
- Pattern descriptions, walkthroughs, and other catalog content.
- Any other material a user uploads, posts, or transmits through the Service.
FlowLibs patterns, managed-solution packages, AI outputs, and your license to use them are governed by the Terms of Service (§4) and the Acceptable Use Policy. If you believe a FlowLibs pattern itself infringes your copyright, you can still use the notice procedure below.
2. Reporting alleged copyright infringement (takedown notice)
If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act on one's behalf) and believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent at hello@flowlibs.com with the subject line "DMCA Notice."
To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include substantially the following:
- 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, if multiple works, a representative list).
- Identification of the material that you claim is infringing and that you want removed, with enough detail for us to locate it — including the URL of the page where it appears.
- Your contact information — name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use 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.
Designated agent for notice: Aron Brown, Copyright Agent — FlowLibs Email: hello@flowlibs.com (subject "DMCA Notice") A physical mailing address is available on request.
Please note: under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, you may be liable for damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material is infringing.
3. What we do when we receive a valid notice
When we receive a notice that substantially complies with Section 2, we will:
- Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material within a reasonable time.
- Make a good-faith effort to notify the user who posted the material, including a copy of the takedown notice.
- Inform that user that we have removed or disabled the material and that they may submit a counter-notification.
If a notice is incomplete, we may ask you for the missing information before acting.
4. Counter-notification (restoring removed material)
If you are a user whose material was removed or disabled and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to hello@flowlibs.com with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice."
To be effective, your counter-notification must include substantially the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location (URL) at which it appeared before it was removed.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, 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 your address is outside the United States, the federal district court in which FlowLibs may be found — for FlowLibs, that is in Oklahoma), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice (or their agent).
After we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party. We may restore the removed material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
As with takedown notices, knowingly materially misrepresenting that material was removed by mistake or misidentification may expose you to liability under Section 512(f).
5. Repeat-infringer policy
In appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, FlowLibs will suspend or terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We may also remove material and restrict access without prior notice where we believe in good faith that doing so is required by law or necessary to protect FlowLibs or third parties.
6. Trademark and other complaints
This policy addresses copyright. If you have a concern about trademark use, defamation, privacy, or other content on the Service, email hello@flowlibs.com with details and we will review it. Conduct rules for user content are set out in the Acceptable Use Policy.
7. Changes to this Policy
We may update this DMCA & Copyright Policy as the Service evolves or as the law changes. Material changes will be posted here with an updated "Last updated" date.
