Clip respects intellectual property rights. We don't host video content of our own — Clip is a tool that retrieves files from third-party platforms at a user's request. That said, we take copyright seriously and will act on valid takedown notices.
How to file a notice
If you believe content downloaded through Clip infringes a copyright you own or are authorised to act on behalf of, send a written notice to our designated agent:
Designated Copyright Agent
[Your name]
[Your business name]
[Street address]
[City, postal code], the Netherlands
Email: [email protected]
Email is fastest — we monitor [email protected] daily and will normally respond within two business days.
What your notice must contain
To be effective under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)) and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions, your notice must include:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g. the original video URL, title, registration number if any).
- Identification of the material that's claimed to be infringing — typically the source URL on YouTube/Instagram/TikTok that's being downloaded through our service.
- Your contact information — full name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
- 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.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
Notices missing any of these elements may not be acted on. We may also publish redacted copies of takedown notices for transparency.
What happens next
When we receive a valid notice, we will — depending on the situation:
- Block the specific URL or pattern from being processed by our extractor;
- Disable the affected extractor or platform integration if the infringement is widespread;
- Notify the user account associated with the takedown if applicable;
- Maintain a record of the notice for our repeat-infringer log (see below).
Counter-notice
If you're a Clip user and content you tried to download has been blocked under a takedown notice you believe is mistaken, you may submit a counter-notice. It must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of the material that's been disabled and the location it appeared at before being disabled;
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
- Your name, address and phone number;
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of [a specified court] and that you'll accept service of process from the original complainant.
Send counter-notices to [email protected].
Repeat infringers
Clip terminates the accounts of users who are subject to repeated valid takedown notices. We log each notice tied to a Pro subscription's email; three valid notices result in termination of that subscription without refund.
False notices
Submitting a false or misleading takedown notice — for example, claiming rights you don't own — is a violation of U.S. law (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)) and equivalent laws elsewhere, and may make you liable for damages and attorneys' fees. Don't do it.
Other concerns
