DMCA & Copyright Policy

ClipKaboom respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This policy describes how to report content you believe infringes your copyright, how to dispute a removal, and our policy for terminating repeat infringers. It is designed to comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

1. Designated agent

ClipKaboom maintains a registered DMCA designated agent to receive notices of claimed infringement. Until that registration is finalized, send all notices and counter-notices to legal@clipkaboom.comwith “DMCA” in the subject line. We aim to review valid notices quickly — typically within one to two (1–2) business days.

2. How to file a takedown notice

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act for one) and believe a clip on ClipKaboom infringes your copyright, send a written notice to legal@clipkaboom.com that includes all of the following:

• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works).
• Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — ideally the clip URL(s) or slug(s).
• Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

3. What happens after we receive a valid notice

When we receive a notice that satisfies the requirements above, we will expeditiously remove or disable access to the material and make a reasonable effort to notify the user who posted it. We may also remove material we determine to be infringing on our own initiative.

4. How to file a counter-notice

If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to legal@clipkaboom.com that includes all of the following:

• Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district of your address (or, if outside the U.S., any district in which ClipKaboom may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material in ten to fourteen (10–14) business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to keep the material down.

5. Repeat-infringer policy

ClipKaboom will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. As a general rule, an account that is the subject of three (3) valid infringement notices within any twelve (12) month period will be terminated, and we may remove that user’s uploads. We may suspend or terminate accounts sooner in cases of severe or egregious infringement, and we reserve the right to take action against anyone who abuses this process (including filing notices in bad faith).

6. Misrepresentations

Under the DMCA, you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material is infringing or was removed by mistake. Please make sure your claim is accurate before submitting it.
