You may use the following format when sending a copyright notice:

7. What Happens After We Receive a Notice

When we receive a copyright notice, we may:

• Review the notice
• Request more information
• Remove or disable access to the content
• Restrict visibility of the content
• Disable monetisation on the content
• Notify the uploader where appropriate
• Record the complaint against the uploader’s account
• Apply repeat infringer rules
• Preserve relevant records where needed
• Reject notices that appear invalid, abusive, fraudulent, incomplete, or legally insufficient

We may act quickly where we believe the complaint is valid, urgent, legally required, or necessary to protect Playflick, users, rights holders, or service providers.

8. False or Abusive Notices

You must not submit false, misleading, fraudulent, abusive, or bad-faith copyright notices.

A false notice may cause harm to users and may expose the sender to legal liability. Playflick may reject notices, restore content, suspend accounts, block future notices, or take other action where we believe the notice process is being misused.

9. Counter-Notices

If your content was removed or disabled because of a copyright complaint and you believe the removal was a mistake, you may send us a counter-notice.

Email: hello@playflick.com

Your counter-notice should include:

• Your email address
• Your postal address
• The URL or location of the content that was removed or disabled
• A clear explanation of why you believe the content was removed by mistake or misidentification
• Evidence that you own the content or have permission to use it, where available
• A statement that the information in your counter-notice is accurate
• Your physical or electronic signature

We may forward your counter-notice to the original complainant where appropriate or legally required.

10. Suggested Counter-Notice Template

11. Repeat Infringer Policy

Playflick may suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe copyright or repeatedly upload content that appears to infringe copyright.

We may treat a user as a repeat infringer where they:

• Receive multiple valid copyright complaints
• Repeatedly upload removed or restricted content
• Use multiple accounts to avoid copyright enforcement
• Re-upload the same or substantially similar infringing material
• Ignore copyright warnings
• Sell, monetise, or distribute infringing content
• Operate channels mainly dedicated to infringing content

Enforcement may include:

• Removal of content
• Demonetisation
• Loss of upload privileges
• Loss of paid content or monetisation features
• Account suspension
• Permanent account termination
• Blocking creation of new accounts
• Preservation of evidence

12. Re-Uploading Removed Content

You must not re-upload content that Playflick has removed or disabled for copyright reasons unless you have resolved the issue and received permission from Playflick or the relevant rights holder.

Re-uploading removed content may result in immediate account enforcement.

13. Monetisation and Copyright

You must not monetise content unless you own or have all necessary rights to the content.

This includes rights for:

• Video footage
• Music
• Sound recordings
• Images
• Artwork
• Logos
• Performances
• Voiceovers
• Clips
• Trailers
• Third-party materials

If content is subject to a copyright complaint, Playflick may withhold, reverse, suspend, or cancel earnings connected to that content.

14. Fair Dealing, Fair Use, Commentary, Reviews, and Transformative Content

Some uses of copyrighted material may be legally permitted under concepts such as fair dealing, fair use, quotation, criticism, review, parody, news reporting, or education, depending on the applicable law and facts.

However, Playflick cannot provide legal advice and cannot guarantee that your use is lawful.

If you rely on fair dealing, fair use, commentary, review, or another legal exception, you are responsible for making sure your content complies with the law.

Adding commentary, edits, credit, disclaimers, or a source link does not automatically make copyrighted content lawful to upload.

15. Trademark and Brand Complaints

This policy mainly covers copyright. If you believe someone is misusing your trademark, brand name, logo, business identity, or falsely impersonating your organisation, contact us at:

Email: hello@playflick.com

Please include:

• Your name and contact details
• Your trademark or brand details
• Registration details, if applicable
• The Playflick URL involved
• An explanation of the issue
• Evidence of ownership or authority

16. Privacy, Publicity, and Personality Rights

If content uses your image, voice, name, likeness, private information, or identity without permission, you may contact us at:

Email: hello@playflick.com

Please include the content URL and a clear explanation of the issue.

17. No Legal Advice

Playflick does not provide legal advice. This policy is for information and platform enforcement purposes only.

If you are unsure about your rights, permissions, licences, copyright exceptions, or legal obligations, you should seek independent legal advice.

18. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Copyright & Takedown Policy from time to time.

Changes may be made to reflect legal requirements, platform features, moderation practices, rights-holder processes, or operational needs.

Your continued use of Playflick after changes become effective means you agree to follow the updated policy.
