Copyright notice
Original RoboDex editorial content, interface design, and curated dossiers are © RoboDex and its contributors. Rights in third-party works remain with their owners.
Image ownership
Robot and company images on RoboDex typically originate from manufacturers, research labs, government agencies, licensed press, or open repositories such as Wikimedia Commons. RoboDex does not claim ownership of manufacturer product photography unless explicitly stated.
Attribution
Where provenance is known, RoboDex displays attribution, source, and license information in media viewers and editorial tooling. See the Image Attribution Policy for how credits are maintained.
Reporting infringement
If you believe material on RoboDex infringes your copyright, send a notice that includes:
- Your contact name, organization, email, and postal address.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
- The exact RoboDex URL(s) and description of the allegedly infringing material.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury where applicable, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Takedown requests
Upon receiving a complete notice, we will review the claim promptly. Where appropriate, we may remove or disable access to the material and notify the relevant editorial operators. Counter-notices may be considered where the original poster has a good-faith belief the material was removed in error.
Contact procedure
Send copyright notices via the Media / legal channel on /contact. Incomplete notices may delay review. For non-copyright media corrections (wrong robot, missing credit), use Suggest an Update or the corrections path described in our Corrections Policy.
