Last Updated: [26/Apr/2025]

“ (“DeepSeek AGI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our website [https://deepseekagi.org/] and Services to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”) and other applicable copyright laws, we have adopted the following policy regarding copyright infringement.   

We will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the DeepSeek AGI Site or Services that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent, identified below.   

(Note to DeepSeek AGI: To qualify for DMCA safe harbor protection, especially if hosting user-generated content, you MUST designate a Copyright Agent with the U.S. Copyright Office ).   

1. Reporting Copyright Infringement (DMCA Takedown Notice) If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Site or Services by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement (“Notice”) and delivering it to our Designated Copyright Agent.   

Your Notice must include substantially the following:

• Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by this Notice, a representative list of such works.   
  
   
• Identification of the material that you claim is infringing (or to be the subject of infringing activity) and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL of the link shown on the Site where such material may be found.   
  
   
• Your contact information, including your mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.   
  
   
• Include both of the following statements in the body of the Notice:
  
  • “I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use).”
    
     
  • “I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed.”    
    
     
• Your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature.   
  
   

Deliver this Notice, with all items completed, to DeepSeek AGI’s Designated Copyright Agent:

Designated Copyright Agent: info@deepseekagi.org

Upon receipt of a valid Notice as described above, we will take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriate, including expeditious removal of or disabling access to the challenged material. We will also notify the user who posted the material, if identifiable, that the material has been removed or disabled.   

2. Counter-Notification Procedures If you believe that material you posted on the Site was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us (“Counter-Notice”) by submitting written notification to our Designated Copyright Agent (identified above).   

Your Counter-Notice must include substantially 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 access disabled.   
   
• A statement under penalty of perjury by you that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.   
   

   
• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.  
   
• 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), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notification or an agent of such person.   
   

If a valid Counter-Notice is received by the Designated Copyright Agent, we may send a copy of the Counter-Notice to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the user who posted the material, the removed material may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the Counter-Notice, at our sole discretion.   

3. Repeat Infringer Policy In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, DeepSeek AGI has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also at our sole discretion limit access to the Services and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.  

4. Fair Use DeepSeek AGI recognizes that not all uses of copyrighted material constitute infringement. Users may be able to use copyrighted material without permission under the doctrine of “fair use” (or similar doctrines like “fair dealing” in other jurisdictions) for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research. Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use depends on the specific facts of the case, considering factors such as the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount used, and the effect on the potential market for the work. Users are responsible for determining whether their use of content qualifies as fair use.  

5. Copyright of Platform Content and AI Output The content provided by DeepSeek AGI through the Services, excluding User Content and AI-Generated Output as defined in our Terms of Use, is protected by copyright and owned by DeepSeek AGI or its licensors. Regarding AI-Generated Output, please refer to the Intellectual Property Rights section of our Terms of Use for details on ownership and usage rights. Note that purely AI-generated content may not be eligible for copyright protection in certain jurisdictions.
