Copyright and DMCA Policy

1. Copyright notices

ReelNite respects the intellectual property rights of others. We respond to copyright infringement notices that substantially comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512 and may remove or disable access to material identified in a valid notice.

2. Designated copyright agent

Send copyright takedown notices and counter notifications to ReelNite's designated copyright agent using the current contact information below.

• Name: ReelNite Copyright Agent
• Email: dmca@reelnite.com

3. Takedown notice requirements

A written notification should include the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers multiple works at one online location.
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for ReelNite to locate it, such as the direct content URL.
• Contact information reasonably sufficient for ReelNite to reach you, including an address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the complained of use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

When ReelNite acts on a valid takedown notice, we will promptly notify the affected uploader and preserve an auditable record of the claim and action taken.

4. Counter notification process

If you believe material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter notification to the designated agent. A counter notification should include the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal or disabling.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, and telephone number, plus the required statement consenting to federal court jurisdiction and accepting service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.

After ReelNite receives a valid counter notification, we will provide a copy to the original claimant. Unless our designated agent receives notice that the claimant filed a court action seeking an order concerning the material, ReelNite will follow the restoration process and timing required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

5. Repeat infringer policy

ReelNite maintains and reasonably implements a policy for terminating repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. We evaluate substantiated repeat infringement, the status and outcome of notices and counter notifications, court orders or other reliable legal information, and the account's relevant history before imposing account level consequences.

Claims that are withdrawn or result in restoration after review are not treated as active infringement strikes. Serious or repeated infringement may result in upload restrictions, suspension, or termination. Account termination is subject to review rather than an automatic numerical trigger.

6. Misrepresentation

Copyright notices and counter notifications should be submitted in good faith. 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) provides for liability when a person knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification.
