Policy · DMCA
TheToonMaker respects the intellectual property of others and expects its users to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and similar laws.

TheToonMaker has designated the following agent to receive copyright infringement notifications: DMCA Agent — HubTrader LLC 1209 Mountain Road PL NE Albuquerque, NM 87110 United States Email: [email protected] Use this address only for DMCA matters; for general support write to [email protected].
If you believe content hosted on TheToonMaker infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, send a written notice in English or Spanish to [email protected] containing all of the following: 1. Your physical or electronic signature. 2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list). 3. The exact URL or sufficient identification of the material on TheToonMaker that you claim is infringing and that you want removed. 4. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address. 5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law. 6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf. Incomplete notices may be ignored or returned for completion.
Upon receipt of a complete notice, we will: (a) promptly remove or disable access to the identified material; (b) take reasonable steps to notify the user who uploaded it; (c) keep a record of the takedown for our repeat-infringer accounting; and (d) preserve a copy of the contested material as required by law. We do not adjudicate copyright disputes; if the parties contest ownership, we follow the DMCA's notice-and-counter-notice mechanism.
If you believe your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to [email protected] containing: 1. Your physical or electronic signature. 2. Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal. 3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification. 4. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, plus a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the district where you reside (or, if you reside outside the U.S., the District of New Mexico) and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant. If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless the complainant files a court action seeking a restraining order against you within 10 to 14 business days, we may restore the material.
We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We track validated takedown notices per account; receiving multiple validated notices over a rolling twelve-month period will result in account suspension and may lead to permanent termination, at our sole discretion. Termination forfeits remaining credits, subscriptions, and access to stored content; see our Terms for the full policy.
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing or that material was removed by mistake may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Submit notices and counter-notices in good faith. False or abusive notices may be denied and reported to authorities.
TheToonMaker uses ToonAI, our proprietary artificial-intelligence layer, to assist users in producing animated clips from sketches and prompts they upload. Users are responsible for ensuring that the source material they upload (sketches, voice references, scripts, references) does not infringe third-party copyrights, trademarks, publicity rights, or other rights. We do not pre-screen user-generated content; if an AI-generated output infringes your rights, address the takedown notice to the specific output URL and we will treat it as we would any other allegedly infringing material.
DMCA notices apply only to copyright. For alleged trademark infringement, right-of-publicity violations, or unauthorized deepfakes of real people, write to [email protected] with comparable detail (identification of the right, the offending material, your contact, and a sworn statement). We follow analogous procedures even though the DMCA's safe-harbor mechanism technically covers only copyright.
We may update this policy without prior notice to keep it aligned with applicable law and operational reality. Material changes will be summarized at the top of the page on the date they take effect.
