DMCA Copyright & Takedown Policy

Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice, takedown procedures, zero-hosting disclosures, and designated copyright agent.

Last Updated: September 2026

1. Commitment to Copyright Protection

tiksaverX respects the intellectual property rights of creators, authors, visual artists, musicians, and copyright holders worldwide. We operate in strict compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512), the European Union Copyright Directive, and international intellectual property treaties.

It is our firm policy to respond promptly to clear, formal notices of alleged copyright infringement and to take appropriate restrictive action to prevent infringing activity through our tools.

2. Technical Architecture & Proof of Zero-Hosting

To assist copyright owners in understanding the operation of our platform, we emphasize the following technical realities:

  • No Content Hosting: tiksaverX does not host, upload, archive, mirror, or store video, audio, or photographic files on its servers.
  • Real-Time Link Resolution: Our software operates as a browser-based parser that identifies publicly accessible media stream links hosted directly on the content delivery networks (CDNs) of third-party platforms (such as TikTok, ByteDance, Instagram, or Twitter).
  • Direct Delivery: When a user requests a file, the media stream is delivered directly from the third-party platform's CDN to the user's client browser. No persistent copies are created or indexed on tiksaverX servers.

3. URL Restriction and Blacklisting Procedure

Although tiksaverX does not host copyrighted media files, we provide a proactive URL Blacklist & Restriction Mechanism. Upon receipt of a valid, verifiable takedown notice identifying a specific URL, our engineering team will blacklist that URL from our parser. Once blacklisted, our tools will permanently refuse to process, convert, or resolve that URL, preventing anyone from using tiksaverX to download the associated media stream.

4. Statutory Requirements for a Valid DMCA Notice

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), to be effective under the DMCA, a notice of claimed infringement must be submitted in writing and must include substantially all of the following elements:

  1. Physical or Electronic Signature: 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: Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
  3. Identification of the Infringing Material: Identification of the specific material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, including the exact, direct URL(s) of the post on the source platform that you request to be restricted.
  4. Contact Information: Information reasonably sufficient to permit our designated agent to contact you, such as your full legal name, physical mailing address, telephone number, and working email address.
  5. Good Faith Statement: 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 (such as fair use).
  6. Statement of Accuracy Under Penalty of Perjury: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are legally authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

6. Response Timeline

Upon receiving a compliant DMCA takedown notification, our team will review the submitted information and implement URL restrictions within 24 to 48 business hours. We will send an email confirmation to the notification sender once the restriction is active.

7. Counter-Notification Procedures (17 U.S.C. § 512(g))

If you believe that a URL was restricted or blacklisted mistakenly or as a result of misidentification, you may submit a formal Counter-Notification to our designated agent containing:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the URL that was restricted.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was restricted as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district.

8. Caution Regarding Bad-Faith Submissions

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to substantial liability for damages, including court costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner, or by the service provider.
