DMCA Policy

This DMCA Policy explains how this independent informational website handles copyright infringement claims, takedown requests, and counter-notifications under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.

This website is not CapCut, ByteDance, an official publisher, an authorized distributor, or a verified security laboratory. References to CapCut, CapCut Pro, or related names are for identification and informational purposes only. All trademarks, brand names, logos, and copyrighted materials belong to their respective owners.

Copyright Infringement Policy

We respect the intellectual property rights of copyright owners and expect users, contributors, and third parties to do the same.

If copyrighted material appears on this website without authorization, the copyright owner or an authorized representative may submit a DMCA takedown notice. Upon receiving a valid notice, we will review the request and may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.

This policy applies to content available on this website, including pages, text, images, files, user-submitted content, embedded content, and references to downloadable materials.

No Endorsement or Ownership Claim

This website does not claim ownership of CapCut, CapCut Pro, ByteDance products, or any third-party intellectual property. Any mention of app names, screenshots, descriptions, or related materials is intended for informational purposes.

CapCut Pro features require the appropriate membership in the official app. This website does not promise premium unlocked access, subscription bypasses, watermark-free exports, or unauthorized access to paid features.

Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice

A copyright owner or an authorized representative may submit a written DMCA notice through the reporting method provided by this website.

To be valid, the DMCA notice should include the following information:

  1. Signature
    A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

  2. Identification of the copyrighted work
    A clear description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.

  3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material
    A clear description of the material claimed to be infringing, including enough detail to allow us to locate it on this website.

  4. Information sufficient for communication
    Information sufficient to allow communication with the complaining party or authorized representative.

  5. Good faith statement
    A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

  6. Accuracy and authority statement
    A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that the complaining party is the copyright owner or is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Review and Takedown Procedure

After receiving a valid DMCA notice, we may take one or more of the following actions:

  • Review the complaint for completeness and validity.
  • Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
  • Notify the user or party responsible for the material, where appropriate and legally permitted.
  • Forward the DMCA notice to the affected user or relevant party, where necessary.
  • Keep a record of the notice for legal and administrative purposes.
  • Take action against repeat infringers, including restricting access or removing submitted content.

Removal or disabling of content in response to a DMCA notice does not mean that we agree the material is infringing. It means the website is acting in accordance with the DMCA process.

Incomplete or Invalid Notices

A DMCA notice may be rejected or delayed if it does not substantially comply with the requirements of the DMCA.

Examples of insufficient notices include:

  • Notices that do not identify the copyrighted work.
  • Notices that do not identify the allegedly infringing material.
  • Notices that fail to include a required legal statement.
  • Notices submitted by a person who is not the copyright owner or authorized representative.
  • Notices that are abusive, fraudulent, or unrelated to copyright law.

Counter-Notification Process

If material has been removed or disabled because of a DMCA notice, the affected user or content provider may submit a counter-notification if they believe the material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification.

A valid counter-notification should include:

  1. Signature
    A physical or electronic signature of the affected user or content provider.

  2. Identification of removed material
    Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.

  3. Good faith statement
    A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the affected party has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

  4. Consent to jurisdiction
    A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal district court as required by the DMCA.

  5. Acceptance of service
    A statement that the affected party will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA notice or that person’s authorized representative.

  6. Information sufficient for legal communication
    Information sufficient to allow legal communication with the affected party.

Restoration of Removed Material

After receiving a valid counter-notification, we may forward it to the party who submitted the original DMCA notice.

Unless the original complaining party notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the removed material after the waiting period required by the DMCA, typically between 10 and 14 business days after the counter-notification is forwarded.

Restoration is not guaranteed and may depend on legal requirements, platform policies, repeat infringement concerns, or other lawful reasons.

Repeat Infringer Policy

We may limit, suspend, or terminate access for users or contributors who repeatedly submit or post infringing material.

Factors that may be considered include:

  • The number of valid DMCA notices received.
  • The nature of the alleged infringement.
  • Whether counter-notifications were submitted.
  • Whether the user acted in bad faith.
  • Whether the user continued infringing activity after notification.

We reserve the right to remove content or restrict access even after a single infringement claim if the circumstances warrant it.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation that content is infringing, or that content was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, costs, and attorney’s fees.

Anyone submitting a DMCA notice or counter-notification should ensure that their claim is accurate, lawful, and made in good faith.

Good Faith Content Handling

We may remove or disable access to content when required by law, when a valid DMCA notice is received, or when we reasonably believe content may violate intellectual property rights.

We may also remove content for reasons unrelated to copyright, including policy violations, security concerns, unlawful content, misleading claims, or other legal obligations.

No Legal Advice

This DMCA Policy is provided for informational and operational purposes. It does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Parties involved in a copyright dispute should consult qualified legal counsel if they have questions about their rights or obligations.
