If someone uses your copyrighted work on a Wix site without permission, you can send Wix a formal takedown notice with specific required information to have it removed.

This procedure provides a pathway for copyright holders to request removal of infringing content, but filing a false takedown notice carries legal risk under US law due to the penalty of perjury requirement.
If your original creative work appears on someone else's Wix site without your permission, this clause gives you a formal mechanism to request its removal, but you must provide specific information and make a sworn statement, so the process requires care.

"If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our Copyright Agent with the following information: (i) An electronic or physical signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; (ii) A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; (iii) A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Wix Services; (iv) Your address, telephone number, and email address; (v) A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (vi) A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.— Excerpt from Wix's Wix Terms of Use
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implements the notice-and-takedown mechanism established by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. Section 512, which provides online service providers with safe harbor from copyright infringement liability if they respond expeditiously to valid takedown notices. The procedure is relevant primarily for US users; EU copyright holders may also invoke equivalent procedures under the EU Copyright Directive (Directive 2019/790). The US Copyright Office and courts have authority over DMCA disputes. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low for standard operational compliance. Wix's compliance with DMCA safe harbor requirements is a standard legal obligation for US-based platform operators. The exposure for users relates primarily to the risk of submitting inaccurate takedown notices, which can create counter-liability under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(f). JURISDICTION FLAGS: The DMCA procedure is US-centric; EU users may have additional or different remedies under the EU Copyright Directive's upload filter and takedown obligations, which impose proactive obligations on certain platforms beyond DMCA-style reactive notice. UK users retain similar protections under the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Businesses that regularly generate original content and host it on Wix should be aware of this procedure both as a tool for protecting their own IP and as a compliance obligation if they receive counter-notices from users they have targeted with takedown requests. The contact information for Wix's designated Copyright Agent should be documented in IP management procedures. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations with active IP portfolios should include Wix's DMCA agent contact details in their IP monitoring and enforcement protocols. Content creators should understand that submitting a materially false takedown notice can result in liability for damages and attorney's fees under US law. Legal teams should review the counter-notice procedure to understand the reinstatement timeline and any associated obligations.
