Copyright Policy

1. Our approach

We respect copyright and expect EasyClip users to do the same. Our Terms of Service require you to own the videos you upload or have permission to use them. We act on notices of claimed infringement, and we remove infringing material when a valid notice reaches us. We follow the notice and counter-notice process described in the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

Videos and clips on EasyClip are private to the account that uploaded them. If you’ve found a clip posted on another site, like YouTube or TikTok, report it to that site too, because we can’t remove anything from other platforms.

2. Before you send a notice

Think about whether the use might be allowed, for example as fair use, or whether you’ve already given permission. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly makes a false claim that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake, can be liable for damages. If you’re unsure, talk to a lawyer.

3. How to send a copyright notice

Send your notice by email to {{COPYRIGHT_AGENT_EMAIL}}. It must include:

• your physical or electronic signature, as the copyright owner or someone authorized to act for them;
• a description of the copyrighted work you believe was infringed (or, for several works, a representative list);
• a description of the material you believe infringes and enough information for us to find it on EasyClip, such as the account email, a job link, or clip title;
• your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use isn’t authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you’re the copyright owner or authorized to act for them.

Notices missing these details may not be valid, and we may ask you to complete them.

4. What happens after a notice

When we get a valid notice, we remove or disable access to the material promptly. We let the account holder know, and we may send them a copy of the notice, including your contact details, so they can respond.

5. How to send a counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to {{COPYRIGHT_AGENT_EMAIL}}. It must include:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• a description of the material that was removed and where it appeared before it was removed;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address, and phone number;
• a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is (or, if you’re outside the United States, any judicial district where we may be found), and that you’ll accept service of legal papers from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

We’ll send your counter-notice, including your contact details, to the person who sent the original notice. If they don’t tell us within 10 business days that they’ve filed a court action to keep the material down, we’ll restore it (where it still exists) within 10 to 14 business days after we received your counter-notice.

Keep in mind that restored material still follows our normal deletion schedule, so an original video past its 7-day window may already be gone.

6. Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright. As a rule, an account that gets 3 valid notices within 12 months is closed. We may close an account sooner for a serious or obvious case. Notices that are withdrawn, or that are successfully countered, don’t count.

Unused tokens in an account closed under this policy aren’t refunded, except where the law requires it.

7. Other complaints

For trademark, privacy, or other rights complaints that aren’t about copyright, email {{CONTACT_EMAIL}} and tell us what’s wrong and where we can find it.
