ClipBust Copyright Policy
This policy describes how we handle copyright infringement claims and how you may submit a counter-notification if you believe your content was wrongly removed.
1. Reporting Copyright Infringement (DMCA Takedown Notice)
If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content on the ClipBust service infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C §512(c)(3) for further detail):
- 1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- 2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
- 3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit ClipBust to locate the material. Please provide the specific URLs (web addresses) of the infringing videos on ClipBust.
- 4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
- 5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- 6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

3. What Happens After We Receive a Valid Takedown Notice?
Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice that substantially complies with the above requirements, we will:
4. Counter-Notification (If You Believe Your Content Was Wrongfully Removed)
If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA.
To be effective, your counter-notification must be in writing and include the following:
Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will promptly forward it to the party who submitted the original takedown notice. If the original claimant does not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from re-posting the material, we will replace or re-enable access to the content.
5. Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, ClipBust will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We consider a "repeat infringer" to be a user who has received more than two (2) valid copyright takedown notices where material was ultimately removed. We may also at our sole discretion limit access to the Service and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
Thank you for helping protect the rights of creators on ClipBust.
