DMCA Policy

Skouter (“the Platform”), operated by VideoYeti LLC, respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This policy explains how to submit a copyright takedown notice, how to file a counter-notification if your content was removed in error, and our policy for repeat infringers.

1. Submitting a Takedown Notice

If you believe that content on Skouter infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notice to our designated agent that includes all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
3. Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it — typically the full URL of the Skouter page where the content appears.
4. Your contact information: name, address, phone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

Send your notice to our designated DMCA agent:

2. What Happens After We Receive a Notice

If the notice is complete and appears valid, we will:

• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material promptly.
• Notify the user who posted the content that it has been removed in response to a DMCA notice, and forward a copy of the notice to them.
• Log the takedown for our repeat-infringer tracking.

We may also contact you for clarification if your notice is incomplete.

3. Submitting a Counter-Notification

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our DMCA agent. Your counter-notification must include all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and phone number.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the district where your address is located (or, if your address is outside the US, any federal court in the US where VideoYeti LLC may be found).
6. A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original takedown notice, or their agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within 10 business days, we may restore the removed content.

4. Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages. Do not file a notice or counter-notice unless you have a good-faith basis for doing so.

5. Repeat-Infringer Policy

We terminate accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright. A user may be classified as a repeat infringer after multiple valid DMCA takedowns against their content, or after a single severe or willful infringement.

6. Other Intellectual Property Claims

The process above is specific to US copyright law. For trademark, right-of-publicity, or other non-copyright IP claims, please email info@videoyeti.com with a description of the claim and the specific URLs at issue.
