Intellectual Property and DMCA Takedown Policy

Last updated: 8 August 2023

Unity respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same.

It is Unity’s policy, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, to disable and/or terminate the account or access of users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 Unity will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Unity website (the “Site”) and to claims of copyright or trademark infringement allegedly committed on Unity's websites and other properties (“Unity Properties”) that are reported to Unity as provided for in this policy.

Requirements for Notice of Alleged Infringement

Please consult your legal counsel or see Section 512(c)(3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to confirm these requirements:

Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or - if multiple copyrighted works are covered by this Notice - you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed.
Identify 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.
Information reasonably sufficient to permit Unity to contact you as the complaining party. Provide your mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.
Confirm both of the following statements:
“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.”
A physical or electronic signature of the owner of the copyright (or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright).
