DMCA Policy

SnapTik respects the intellectual property of content creators. This page explains how copyright owners can send us a takedown request in line with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

1. How we handle content

SnapTik does not host videos, audio or images on its servers. When a user submits a public TikTok link, the content is streamed from TikTok’s servers, through our server, to the user’s device without being stored. This means we cannot remove the original content from TikTok.

What we can do — and will do when we receive a valid notice — is block the specific video URLs so they can no longer be processed or downloaded through SnapTik. If you want a video removed from TikTok itself, please contact TikTok directly.

2. What a valid notice must include

Your notice should contain all of the following:

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 you claim has been infringed.
3. The exact TikTok URL of each video you want blocked, with enough detail for us to locate it.
4. Your contact information: name, postal address, telephone number and 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 that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Incomplete notices may be delayed or may not be acted on.

3. How to send a notice

Email your notice to [email protected] with a subject line starting with “DMCA Takedown”. You may list several URLs in a single notice. We will review it within a reasonable time and, if it is valid, block the URLs concerned.

4. Counter-notice

If you believe a URL was blocked by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same email address that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. The URL that was blocked.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the content was blocked as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, telephone number and email, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the competent court under applicable law.

When we receive a valid counter-notice, we may forward a copy to the person who sent the original notice. If they do not tell us within a reasonable period (typically 10 to 14 business days) that they have filed a court action, we may unblock the URL.

5. Repeat infringers and abusive requests

We may restrict or block access for users who repeatedly use the service to infringe copyright. We also reserve the right to reject notices that are clearly unfounded, sent in abusive bulk, or intended to harass others or gain an unfair competitive advantage.

6. Liability for misrepresentation

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. If you are not sure whether content infringes your rights, consider speaking with a lawyer before sending a notice.

7. Contact

Please send all copyright notices and questions to [email protected].
