Intellectual Property & DMCA Policy
Last updated September 16, 2026
Dibsy respects intellectual property rights and expects the creators who use our platform to do the same. Every creator confirms they hold the rights to a design before it can go on sale. If you believe content on a Dibsy storefront infringes your copyright or trademark, use the notice process below and we will act promptly.
Filing a takedown notice
Submit the form below, or email ip@dibsy.bio. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), an effective notice must include:
- Identification of the copyrighted work (or trademark) you claim is infringed;
- The URL(s) on dibsy.bio where the allegedly infringing material appears;
- Your name, organization (if any), and contact information;
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law;
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorized to act for them;
- Your physical or electronic signature.
For trademark complaints, also include the registration number and jurisdiction (or a description of your unregistered mark and where it is used) and the goods it covers; for publicity-rights complaints, identify the person depicted and your authority to act for them.
Our designated agent for copyright notices is Copyright Agent, Merchy LLC (Dibsy), 6650 Rivers Ave, STE 100, Charleston, SC 29406, United States; phone (980) 347-0752; email ip@dibsy.bio. The designation is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office's DMCA Designated Agent Directory (registration DMCA-1080410). Merchy LLC operates this service under the names Dibsy and dibsy.bio. Email is the fastest way to reach us. Misrepresenting that material is infringing, or filing a counter-notice in bad faith, can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
What happens next
On receipt of a complete notice we promptly remove or disable access to the identified material and notify the creator who posted it, including a copy of the notice. We may withhold the proceeds of the affected products while the claim is open and, where it is upheld, refund Buyers or release those proceeds to the rights holder. We may disclose the creator's name and contact details to the rights holder as the law allows. We keep a record of every notice and the action taken. Our own screening also holds designs that resemble known marks, logos, or characters before they can be published; creators can ask for human review at ip@dibsy.bio.
Counter-notices
If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to ip@dibsy.bio containing: the identification of the removed material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury of your good-faith belief the removal was a mistake, your name, address, phone number, consent to federal court jurisdiction in your district (or where Dibsy is located, if outside the U.S.), and your signature. We may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the reporter files a court action.
Repeat infringers
Dibsy terminates the accounts and stores of creators who repeatedly infringe others' intellectual property rights, and may remove content or suspend accounts after a single notice where appropriate.
