Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Last updated: May 2026
Driven Success LLC, dba OpenClaw Direct ("OpenClaw Direct"), respects the intellectual-property rights of others and complies with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512 (the "DMCA"). If you are a copyright owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner, and you believe that material accessible through the OpenClaw Direct service (the "Service"), including content generated, transmitted, or stored by a Machine Instance, infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notification under §512(c) of the DMCA using the procedure below. This policy is part of, and should be read together with, our Terms of Service.
Notice Requirements (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3))
To be effective under the DMCA, your written notification must be sent to our Designated Agent (below) and must include substantially all of the following six elements:
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and that is to be removed or to which access is to be disabled, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (such as the specific URL, Machine Instance identifier, or message excerpt).
- Contact information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Notifications that fail to comply substantially with the foregoing requirements may not be effective and may delay or prevent action on your complaint. Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
Counter-Notification (17 U.S.C. §512(g))
If your content has been removed or disabled in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our Designated Agent. To be effective under §512(g)(3), the counter-notification must be a written communication that includes substantially all of the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
- Your full name, mailing address, and telephone number.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which OpenClaw Direct may be found.
- A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification, or an agent of that person.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward a copy to the original complaining party. If that party does not notify us within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, we may, in our discretion, restore the removed material.
