Copyright notices (DMCA)

A notice must be in writing and include all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorised to act for the owner.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed. For many works on one page, a list of them is enough.
• Identification of the material you want removed, and information that lets us find it: the web address (URL) of the video, post, page or file on XCap.
• Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act for the owner.

Email legal@xcap.app with “DMCA notice” in the subject. Notices sent to other addresses, or through social media, may not reach us.

Send notices to legal@xcap.app as above. We review every notice we receive.

We review each notice. When it is valid, we remove or disable access to the material it identifies. We may also remove material while we check a notice.

If material you posted was removed because of a notice, you can send us a counter-notice at legal@xcap.app. It must be in writing and include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed, and the place it was at before it was removed.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or because it was misidentified.
• Your name, postal address and telephone number.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district where your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district where we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice.

We send your counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless that person tells us they have filed a court case against you, we usually put the material back 10 to 14 business days after we receive your counter-notice. It can take a little longer when we send them your counter-notice later than the day it arrives: we count 10 business days from that day.

We may end the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright. When an account receives three valid notices within 12 months that weren't withdrawn or successfully countered, we suspend it while we review it, and we may end it. Repeat infringement is also a breach of the Acceptable Use Policy.

A person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, can be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)). Please send a notice only when you have checked the facts.
