Designated agent

Send all copyright notices and counter-notices to our designated agent:

Please use this address only for copyright matters. Support questions and other requests sent here will not receive a response.

Filing a takedown notice

If you believe content on VidLingo infringes your copyright, email our designated agent with a notice containing all of the following:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. If a single notice covers several works, a representative list is fine.
2. Identification of the material you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it. A direct VidLingo URL (for example a /watch/... link) is the fastest way.
3. Your contact details: name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Notices that are missing required elements may be returned to you for completion before we can act on them.

What happens next

We review every complete notice and respond within 48 hours. If the notice is valid we remove or disable access to the material, notify the user who posted it, and provide them with a copy of your notice. Note that VidLingo hosts transcripts and user-uploaded files; YouTube videos are embedded from YouTube and are not stored by us, so notices about the video itself should be sent to YouTube.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same designated agent. A counter-notice must include:

1. Identification of the material that was removed and the URL where it appeared before removal.
2. Your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
3. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which VidLingo may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.
5. Your physical or electronic signature.

When we receive a valid counter-notice we forward it to the person who filed the original notice. If they do not tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the use of the material, we may restore it between 10 and 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice.

Repeat-infringer policy

We keep a record of every valid takedown notice. An account that receives multiple valid notices, or that we otherwise determine is repeatedly infringing, will be terminated. We may also remove content and terminate accounts at our discretion in clear cases of infringement, whether or not a formal notice has been received.
