Copyright and DMCA Policy

1. Our commitment

Codex CLI MCP publishes original educational material and may also reference, quote, link to or display limited portions of third-party material for commentary, identification, instruction or other lawful purposes. Third-party code and documentation remain subject to their respective licences and ownership.

When a sufficiently complete and valid infringement notice is received, we may investigate and remove or restrict access to identified material as appropriate.

2. Before sending a copyright notice

Please confirm that you own the relevant copyright or are authorised to act for the owner. Also consider whether the use may be licensed, in the public domain or allowed by an applicable exception such as fair use, fair dealing, quotation, criticism or review.

3. How to submit a takedown notice

Send a written notice containing all of the following:

1. Your signature: a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.
2. Identification of the protected work: describe the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If the notice covers multiple works, provide a representative list with enough detail to identify them.
3. Exact location of the material: provide the complete Codex CLI MCP URL for each item and identify the relevant text, image, code block or other material precisely enough for us to locate it.
4. Your contact information: include your full name, organisation if applicable, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
5. Good-faith statement: state that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. Accuracy and authority statement: state, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.

Helpful supporting information can include the original publication URL, registration details, dates and an explanation of how the reported material copies the protected work. Do not send unrelated personal data or account credentials.

4. What happens after a notice is received

We may review the notice for completeness, request clarification, investigate the identified location and contact the person who supplied or published the material. Depending on the circumstances, we may remove or disable access to the material, decline an incomplete or unsupported request, preserve relevant records or take another appropriate action.

We may forward the notice, including the complainant’s contact information, to the affected party or a service provider where reasonably necessary to process the request. A notice may also be disclosed when required by law.

5. Counter-notification

If your material was removed or disabled because of a copyright complaint and you believe the action resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification containing:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material removed or disabled and its previous location;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification;
4. your full name, mailing address, telephone number and email address;
5. a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States Federal District Court if the DMCA applies, and accepting service of process from the original complainant or that person’s agent.

A valid counter-notification may be forwarded to the original complainant. Where the DMCA procedure applies, material may be restored after the legally specified period unless the complainant informs the relevant service provider that a court action has been filed to restrain the alleged infringement. Other laws or circumstances may require a different process.

6. Repeat infringement and abuse

Where applicable and appropriate, access or contributor privileges associated with repeat infringement may be restricted or terminated. We also reserve the right to take reasonable action against fraudulent, abusive, incomplete or bad-faith notices.

7. Trademark and other rights concerns

Copyright and trademark are different rights. For a trademark complaint, identify the registered or otherwise protected mark, the jurisdiction, registration number if available, the exact URL and why the use is likely to cause confusion or otherwise violate applicable law. Clearly label the subject “Trademark Notice.”

Privacy, defamation, security and other concerns should be sent as separate requests so they can be evaluated under the appropriate process.

8. Copyright notice address

Email is provided for initial electronic submission. If a law requires delivery to a formally registered agent or a physical address, the complaining party is responsible for confirming and using the legally appropriate notice channel.
