Our Position on Copyright

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect users of this website and our services to do the same. It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

We do not host, store, upload, record or transcode video content on our own servers. Where we are made aware of a specific claim relating to material accessible through our service, we will investigate it and act as set out below.

Submitting a takedown notice

If you are a copyright owner, or authorised to act on behalf of one, and believe material accessible through our service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent:

• Designated agent: [AGENT-NAME]
• Email: [DMCA-EMAIL]
• Postal address: [POSTAL]

Email is the fastest route and the one we recommend.

What a valid notice must include

To comply with the DMCA, your notice must contain substantially the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered by a single notification
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate it
• Information reasonably sufficient to allow us to contact you — an address, telephone number and, if available, an email address
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed

Notices missing these elements may not be actionable, and we may ask you to resubmit with the required information.

How we respond

On receiving a compliant notice we will:

• Acknowledge receipt, normally within five business days
• Review the notice and investigate the material identified
• Remove or disable access to material we determine to be infringing, where that material is within our control
• Notify the affected user where one is identifiable, and provide them a copy of the notice
• Where a claim concerns material outside our control, forward the notice to the relevant party where we are able to identify them

Counter-notification

If you believe material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the same address. It must include substantially the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material removed and the location at which it appeared before removal
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
• Your name, address and telephone number
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent

Following a valid counter-notice we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the relevant activity.

Repeat infringers

We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. Accounts subject to multiple substantiated notices may be suspended or terminated without refund.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages including costs and legal fees. Please consider carefully whether the use complained of is protected before submitting a notice.
