Copyright Policy
- Effective date
- July 2026
- Applies to
- Vantr, and everyone using it
This Policy explains how to report copyright infringement on Vantr under the DMCA, what we do when we receive a notice, how to file a counter-notice if your content was removed in error, and how we handle repeat infringement.
1.Our position
Vantr respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects everyone using the Service to do the same.
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 (the “DMCA”), and with equivalent notice-and-takedown procedures under other applicable law.
It is a condition of using Vantr that you hold the rights to everything you upload and publish, including footage, images, music and any other material embedded in your content. Uploading material you do not have the rights to is a breach of our Terms of Service.
2.Designated agent
We have designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement. Notices must be sent to that agent to be effective:
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Designated agent | Copyright Agent, Vantr |
| copyright@vantr.app | |
| Postal address | Available on request from copyright@vantr.app |
Notices sent to any other address, including general support, may be delayed. Please use the address above.
3.Filing a notice of infringement
To be effective under § 512(c)(3), a notice must be a written communication that includes substantially all of the following:
- a physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
- identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered by a single notice;
- identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it — for a Vantr account, the account name and the specific post or upload;
- information reasonably sufficient to let us contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.
A notice that omits these elements may not be effective and may delay our response. If your notice is incomplete, we will tell you what is missing where we reasonably can.
Please note that under § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, incurred by the alleged infringer or by us.
4.How we respond
On receipt of an effective notice we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified, and will take reasonable steps to notify the affected user that we have done so.
We will provide the affected user with a copy of the notice, including the identity and contact details of the complaining party, so that they can respond. If you do not wish your details shared, do not file a notice.
Removal is not a finding that infringement occurred. It is the response the DMCA requires of us in order to maintain safe-harbour protection, and it is made without any determination on the merits of the claim.
Where material has been published to a third-party platform before removal, we can remove it from Vantr but we cannot remove it from that platform. A notice concerning material on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or any other platform must be sent to that platform directly, under its own procedure.
5.Counter-notice
If your material was removed and you believe it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice with our designated agent.
To be effective under § 512(g)(3), a counter-notice must include substantially all of:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal;
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
- your name, address and telephone number;
- a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which Vantr may be found;
- a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice, or from their agent.
On receipt of an effective counter-notice we will forward it to the original complainant and inform them that we will restore the material in 10 business days. We will restore it between 10 and 14 business days after receipt, unless the complainant first notifies us that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the activity.
As with notices, a knowing material misrepresentation in a counter-notice may create liability under § 512(f).
6.Repeat infringers
We maintain and enforce a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers, as § 512(i) requires.
We record effective notices against an account. An account that accumulates repeated, unresolved notices may be suspended or terminated. We consider the number of notices, whether any were withdrawn or successfully countered, and the seriousness of the conduct.
We may also terminate an account immediately, without prior notice, in a case of severe or wilful infringement.
7.Trade marks and other rights
This Policy addresses copyright. If you believe your trade mark is being misused on Vantr, or that content infringes another right such as publicity or privacy, write to copyright@vantr.app with a description of the right, the material at issue, and how it infringes.
We assess non-copyright claims case by case. They fall outside the DMCA's formal procedure, so timelines above do not apply to them.
8.Music and licensed material
Publishing a video containing music you have not licensed can lead to a claim against you on the destination platform, and to a notice under this Policy.
A platform's own music library is generally licensed only for content created within that platform's app. Audio taken from one platform's library and uploaded elsewhere is a common source of claims. We cannot clear rights on your behalf.
9.Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy. The effective date at the top of this document records when the current version took effect.
