Important Information to Know – Prior to Submitting a Request for Removal

​

1. Copyright Exceptions: Prior to submitting a removal request, you must consider whether fair use, fair dealing, or another copyright exception applies. The Company may ask you to confirm that you have considered the possible exceptions and content will not be removed until you have supplied an adequate response. In cases where an exception does apply, requests are invalid and content does not need to be removed from the platform.
    

2. Personal Information

   • After a video is removed for copyright infringement, the Company will display the name of the copyright owner in place of the video.
      

     • You may provide a valid legal alternative if you wish, such as the name of a company or an authorized representative. The Company will review the information you provide and apply it where possible.
        

     • Any copyright owner name entered by you will become part of the public record of your request. To learn more about the public record of your removal request, click here. (For now, see below).
