This website is operated by Atlantic Image Defense LLC, a visual rights support and image protection service provider. The website is available at atlantic-image-defense.com. The business contact address is 224 W 35th St Ste 500, New York, NY 10001. General inquiries may be sent to contact@atlantic-image-defense.com.
The website presents information about image monitoring, copyright evidence preparation, usage review, takedown preparation, licensing support, and legal handoff file organization for photographers, visual creators, stock contributors, agencies, publishers, brands, and other visual rights holders.
The website is intended to provide general information about the services offered by Atlantic Image Defense LLC and to allow users to submit a preliminary inquiry or case-review request. The website is not intended to replace professional legal advice, legal representation, copyright registration services, court filings, or formal advice from a qualified attorney.
Atlantic Image Defense LLC is not presented as a law firm, a court, a governmental authority, a copyright office, a collection agency, or an official enforcement body. Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement, the company does not provide legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship with any visitor, client, photographer, rights holder, alleged infringer, or third party.
Any information provided on this website, in preliminary communications, or through case-intake materials is provided for general informational, organizational, evidentiary, operational, or administrative purposes. Users should consult a qualified attorney before taking legal action, sending formal legal notices, filing claims, initiating litigation, or relying on any legal interpretation.
By accessing the website, browsing its pages, using a contact form, submitting a case review request, transmitting documents, or communicating with Atlantic Image Defense LLC through the website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms of Use.
If you are using the website on behalf of a company, agency, studio, photographer, rights holder, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to act on behalf of that person or entity and to bind that person or entity to these Terms of Use.
You may use this website only if you are legally able to enter into binding obligations and only for lawful purposes. You are responsible for ensuring that any information, files, URLs, images, screenshots, source materials, copyright records, licensing documents, metadata, account information, or other materials you submit are accurate, lawful, and provided with appropriate authorization.
You agree not to submit materials that are false, misleading, fraudulent, defamatory, abusive, unlawfully obtained, malicious, or intended to harass another person or entity.
Atlantic Image Defense LLC may assist with the organization, preparation, and review of materials related to suspected unauthorized image use. Services may include, depending on the matter and the applicable agreement:
The specific scope, timeline, deliverables, fees, and responsibilities for any service may be subject to a separate written agreement, proposal, invoice, or engagement confirmation.
Atlantic Image Defense LLC does not guarantee that any suspected image use will be confirmed as infringement, that a platform will remove content, that a counterparty will respond, that a license will be obtained, that compensation will be recovered, that a dispute will be resolved, or that any legal outcome will be achieved.
Any review, report, communication, or recommendation is based on the information available at the time of review. Online content can change, disappear, be modified, or be inaccessible. Evidence may be incomplete. A visual match alone may not prove infringement. Possible licenses, exceptions, fair use arguments, editorial uses, platform rules, or jurisdiction-specific legal issues may require separate legal assessment.
When you submit images, URLs, source files, screenshots, metadata, licensing records, platform records, identity information, authorization documents, or other case materials, you represent and warrant that:
You remain responsible for the accuracy, legality, and completeness of your submitted materials.
By submitting materials to Atlantic Image Defense LLC, you grant the company a limited, non-exclusive, revocable permission to access, copy, store, review, organize, process, and use those materials solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry, reviewing the submitted matter, preparing related documentation, communicating with you, and providing requested services.
This limited permission does not transfer ownership of your images or intellectual property rights to Atlantic Image Defense LLC. You retain your rights in the materials you submit, subject to any separate written agreement.
Atlantic Image Defense LLC treats submitted case materials as business-sensitive materials intended for review. However, no internet transmission or online form can be guaranteed to be fully secure. You should not submit highly sensitive personal data, confidential trade secrets, government identification documents, payment credentials, passwords, or legally privileged materials unless specifically requested through a secure process and only after confirming the appropriate transmission method.
If a matter requires legal privilege, attorney strategy, formal legal advice, or court-related confidentiality, you should consult qualified legal counsel before submitting such information.
The website design, text, graphics, layout, logos, visual identity, service descriptions, banners, icons, page structures, and other website materials are owned by or licensed to Atlantic Image Defense LLC, except where third-party materials are identified. These materials may not be copied, reproduced, modified, distributed, scraped, resold, republished, or used for commercial purposes without prior written permission.
Nothing on this website grants any license to use the Atlantic Image Defense LLC name, visual identity, domain name, logos, service marks, trade dress, website content, or proprietary materials without express authorization.
