Characters created by users can be removed from access if a third party submits a takedown request, regardless of user intent.
Interpretive note: The excerpt uses the generic term 'takedown request' and does not explicitly reference DMCA in this specific clause. The clause name references DMCA; however, the evidence span does not. The canonical claim uses the term 'DMCA takedown request' consistent with the clause name, but the evidence span alone says only 'takedown request'. Confidence is medium accordingly.
A character you created or interact with may be disabled by Character.AI following a takedown request.
