DMCA

1. Our policy

CloutOrbit respects copyright and intellectual property rights. We display public metadata (channel titles, channel handles, video titles, thumbnails) retrieved from the YouTube Data API v3 and link every record back to its original page on YouTube. If you are the copyright owner of material that appears on this Service and you believe its use is not authorized, you may submit a takedown notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512(c).

2. How to submit a takedown notice (DMCA § 512(c)(3))

To be effective under the DMCA, your written notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g. the title, the original URL on YouTube, and a description sufficient to identify the work).
3. Identification of the material on CloutOrbit that is claimed to be infringing (the full URL on cloutorbit.com, including the channel id, video id, or page slug).
4. Your contact information: full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and a valid email address.
5. 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.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

3. Where to send it

Submit the notice through one of the following channels:

• Email (preferred): [email protected] — subject line DMCA Takedown Notice
• Online form: Compliance Center → Correction / Takedown Request (select "Copyright" as the request type)

Notices missing any of the six elements above may not be actionable. We strongly recommend using the online form so the required fields are validated before submission.

4. How we respond

We review valid notices within 30 days. If we determine the notice is valid, we will remove or disable access to the identified material on CloutOrbit and notify any affected channel owner where appropriate. Because CloutOrbit only mirrors public YouTube metadata, removal from CloutOrbit does not remove the material from YouTube itself — for that, please file a separate copyright complaint with YouTube via YouTube's copyright complaint form.

5. Counter-notice (DMCA § 512(g))

If you believe content was removed in error or as a result of misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice including:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared 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, phone number, email, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located.

Send counter-notices to [email protected] with subject DMCA Counter-Notice.

6. Repeat infringer policy

Account holders on CloutOrbit who are determined to be repeat infringers will have their accounts suspended or terminated in accordance with DMCA § 512(i).

7. Misrepresentation

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. Please consult an attorney before submitting a notice if you have any doubt about whether your use is authorized.
