DMCA Copyright Policy

1. Reporting copyright infringement

If you believe that content available through AskGVT infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated copyright agent:

Notices may also be submitted through our takedown page on DMCA.com.

2. Required elements of a takedown notice

To be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

• Your signature. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work. A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list is acceptable.
• Identification of the infringing material. The specific URL(s), or enough information for us to locate the material inside an AskGVT product. Every AskGVT answer identifies its source clip, creator, and timestamp, so where the material appears in an answer, the creator name, clip, and timestamp shown with that answer are sufficient.
• Your contact information. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• Good faith statement. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• Accuracy statement. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Please be aware that, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

3. How to submit

Email your complete notice to dmca@gvtlabs.com, or use our DMCA.com takedown page. We process notices received through those channels only; notices sent elsewhere may not be reviewed promptly.

4. What happens after you submit a notice

• We will review your notice for completeness. If information is missing, we will contact you.
• If the notice is complete, we will act expeditiously to remove the identified clips from the AskGVT index and disable access to them. AskGVT stores indexed clips rather than full videos, and removal from the index removes the content from every answer and surface where it could appear.
• We will notify the creator whose content was removed and explain their right to file a counter-notification.
• We will confirm our action to you.

5. Counter-notification (disputing a takedown)

If you are an AskGVT creator whose content was removed and you believe the takedown was made in error — for example, because you have the right to use the content or the material was misidentified — you may submit a counter-notification.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), your counter-notification must include:

• Your signature. Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the removed material. The clip(s) or content that was removed, and where it appeared before removal.
• Good faith statement. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
• Your contact information. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number.
• Consent to jurisdiction. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of a federal court. If you are in the United States, this is the federal district court for your location. If you are outside the United States, you may consent to any judicial district in which GVTLabs may be found.
• Consent to service of process. A statement that you will accept service of legal process from the person who filed the original takedown notice.

Please be aware that, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material was removed by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

Email your counter-notification to dmca@gvtlabs.com. We will review it for completeness and, if complete, forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within 10–14 business days that they have filed a court action to restrain the alleged infringement, we will restore the content. If the complainant files a court action, the content stays offline and the matter is between you and the complainant.

6. Repeat infringer policy

In accordance with the DMCA and the terms of the relevant AskGVT product, we will terminate the accounts of creators or users who are determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

7. Rights holders outside the United States

We accept copyright complaints from rights holders anywhere in the world through the same channels and with the same information described above. Nothing in this policy limits any rights you may have under the laws of England and Wales or the laws of your own country.
