Copyright Policy

Onomo Inc. (“onomo”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all users of the Service to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and respond promptly to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement.

This policy applies to all content accessible through the onomo platform, including but not limited to: marketplace content (preset packs, sound packs, drum kits, instruments), user-uploaded audio files, and any other user-generated content.

If you believe that content available through the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. Your notice must include all of 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 claimed to have been infringed (e.g., a link to your original work, registration number, or detailed description)
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed, with sufficient information to allow us to locate the material (e.g., URL, username, marketplace listing, or other specific identifier)
• Your contact information, including your name, 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 copyright owner

Incomplete notices may not be processed. We reserve the right to reject notices that do not substantially comply with the DMCA requirements.

All DMCA takedown notices should be sent to our designated agent:

• Email: dmca@onomo.io
• Subject Line: DMCA Takedown Notice

Onomo Inc.
Attn: DMCA Agent
Atlanta, Georgia, United States

We aim to acknowledge receipt of valid DMCA notices within two (2) business days and to process takedowns within five (5) business days of receipt.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will:

• Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material
• Notify the user who posted the material that it has been removed or disabled, and provide them with a copy of the takedown notice (with the complainant's personal contact information redacted if requested)
• Inform the user of their right to submit a counter-notification

Users who previously purchased marketplace content that is subsequently removed due to a DMCA notice will retain access to their existing downloaded copy, but the content will no longer be available for new purchases or re-download.

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent. Your counter-notification must include all of the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before removal
• 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
• Your name, address, and telephone number
• 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, the Northern District of Georgia), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or their agent

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action seeking a restraining order against you within ten (10) business days, we will restore the removed material within fourteen (14) business days of receiving the counter-notification.

In accordance with the DMCA, we maintain a policy for terminating the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

• First Offense: Content removed; user notified and warned
• Second Offense: Content removed; user's marketplace selling privileges suspended for thirty (30) days; formal written warning
• Third Offense: Account permanently terminated without refund

We reserve the right to terminate an account after a single offense if the infringement is egregious, willful, or involves commercial-scale piracy. Counter-notifications that are upheld (i.e., where the original complainant does not pursue legal action) will not count as offenses.

Filing a false DMCA notice or counter-notification is a serious matter. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

Before filing a DMCA notice, please carefully consider whether the use of the copyrighted material at issue constitutes fair use. If you are unsure whether the material infringes your copyright, we recommend consulting with an attorney before submitting a notice.

Synthesized Sounds. Sounds generated by onomo's built-in synthesizer and drum engines are produced through real-time mathematical synthesis, not sample playback. Because different synthesis algorithms can produce acoustically similar results from similar parameters, perceptual similarity between a onomo-synthesized sound and a sound from another source does not, by itself, constitute copyright infringement. DMCA notices based solely on the claim that a synthesized sound “sounds like” another sound without evidence of actual copying will not be processed.

AI-Generated Content. Content generated by the AIRESS AI co-producer (drum patterns, melodies, chord progressions, etc.) is produced by machine learning models. AI-generated musical patterns may bear similarity to existing works due to the nature of machine learning. Claims of infringement related to AI-generated content should identify the specific copyrighted work allegedly infringed and explain how the AI output constitutes infringement beyond mere stylistic similarity.
