Copyright and Takedown Requests

This page explains rights responsibilities and the information VU Lab needs to assess a copyright or other rights complaint. It is not presented as a formal U.S. DMCA process.

Last updated: 28 September 2026

1. VU Lab materials

VU Lab’s original site design, interface, source code, written material, branding and tool presentation are protected to the extent applicable law recognizes those rights. This does not claim ownership of user-supplied material, IMVU material, public creator/product information, radio-station content or third-party names and marks.

2. Creator responsibility

Creators and users are responsible for ensuring that they own or are authorized to use, modify, export, publish or promote the text, images, audio, product details, branding, links and other content they supply. Technical access, a public URL or a successful export does not prove ownership or permission.

3. Public IMVU information

VU Lab can retrieve and display publicly available IMVU creator, product, image, lineage and productdata information at a user’s request. VU Lab is independent from IMVU. Public availability does not remove the rights of IMVU, creators or other rights holders, and VU Lab will consider sufficiently detailed requests concerning material displayed or processed through its service.

4. Submitting a copyright or takedown request

The repository contains no approved public copyright address. Before launch, the owner must configure one real monitored mailbox; VU Lab will not publish a fabricated address.

Include enough information for a fair review:

  • your full name and reliable contact details;
  • the copyrighted work, trademark, personal information or other right you say is affected;
  • the exact VU Lab URL, feature, account, campaign or material at issue and enough detail to locate it;
  • an explanation of your rights and why the identified use is unauthorized or otherwise objectionable;
  • supporting evidence where available;
  • a good-faith statement that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act for that person; and
  • your physical or electronic signature.

Do not send passwords, private platform cookies, full payment-card details or unrelated sensitive documents.

5. Review and action

VU Lab may ask for clarification, preserve relevant records where appropriate, restrict or remove identified material, disable a campaign or account, or decline a request that is incomplete, abusive or unsupported. Where appropriate, VU Lab may notify the affected user and share the substance of the complaint so they can respond.

Urgency, legal requirements, safety and the ability to identify the material will affect the response. This page does not promise a fixed response time before an approved operational process and staffing arrangement exist.

6. Correction or counter-information

If your material is restricted because of a complaint and you believe that was a mistake, use the same approved contact channel with the original reference, identify the affected material, explain your authority and provide supporting information. VU Lab may share that response with the complainant where appropriate and may restore, keep restricted or permanently remove material based on the available information and applicable obligations.

7. Repeat or abusive misuse

VU Lab may suspend or disable users who repeatedly submit infringing material or repeatedly misuse the complaint process. Knowingly false, misleading or bad-faith complaints or responses can cause harm and may lead to account action.

8. Process status

VU Lab does not currently claim to have registered a U.S. DMCA designated agent or adopted a formal DMCA notice-and-counter-notice system. Requests are therefore described neutrally as copyright or takedown requests. If VU Lab later adopts a jurisdiction-specific statutory process, this page and the public contact details must be updated before that process is claimed.
