DMCA

Hey creators, welcome to InShot Pro’s DMCA Policy page! We’re all about empowering you to make awesome videos, but we also respect the folks who create the music, clips, and other content you love to use. This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy explains how we handle copyright complaints to keep things fair and legal. Whether you’re editing a TikTok banger or a family montage, we’ve got a process to address any copyright concerns. Let’s break it down, no fluff, just the real stuff.

What’s the DMCA?

The DMCA is a U.S. law that protects copyright owners from unauthorized use of their work (like music, videos, or images). If someone’s using your copyrighted content without permission on our platform, or if you think we’ve got it wrong, this policy is your go-to guide. We’re based in the U.S., so Delaware law applies, but we handle global requests with the same care.

Reporting a Copyright Issue

If you own a copyright and believe someone’s using it in the InShot Pro App or on our website (inshotpro.com) without your okay, let us know. Here’s how to file a takedown notice:

  1. Send Us the Details: Email your notice to our Designated Copyright Agent at dmca@inshotpro.com. Make it clear and include:
    • Your name, address, phone number, and email so we can reach you.
    • A specific description of the copyrighted work (e.g., “my song ‘Summer Vibes’ from my 2023 album”).
    • Where the infringing content is (e.g., a link to the video in the App or a screenshot).
    • A statement that you believe, in good faith, the use isn’t authorized by you, your agent, or the law.
    • A sworn statement that your info is accurate and you’re the copyright owner (or their rep).
    • Your physical or electronic signature. Example: “I’m Jane Doe, and my photo was used in a video at [link] without permission. I own the copyright and swear this is true.”
  2. What Happens Next? We’ll review your notice within 72 hours. If it checks out, we’ll remove or disable access to the content and notify the user who posted it. If something’s missing (like no signature), we’ll ping you to fix it.

Counter-Notices (If Your Content Was Removed)

Think we made a mistake by taking down your video or post? You can file a counter-notice to get it back up. Here’s how:

  • Email dmca@inshotpro.com with:
    • Your name, address, phone number, and email.
    • Details of the removed content and where it was posted (e.g., “my travel vlog at [link]”).
    • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe the takedown was an error (e.g., you had permission or it’s fair use).
    • Your consent to Delaware court jurisdiction (or your local courts if you’re outside the U.S.).
    • Your signature (physical or electronic).
  • We’ll review and, if valid, restore the content within 10-14 business days, unless the copyright owner starts a legal fight.

Why This Matters

We love your creativity, but using someone’s music, clip, or art without permission can land you in hot water. InShot Pro’s tools (filters, effects, etc.) are ours, but any third-party content you add—like a song or stock footage—is your responsibility. Check licenses or get permission to avoid headaches. X posts show users get frustrated when their vids are flagged, so we’re upfront: keep it legal, and your edits stay safe.

Repeat Offenders

Post infringing content more than once? We may suspend or terminate your account, no questions asked. We track reports to keep the platform fair for everyone—creators, musicians, and you.

Our Liability

We follow DMCA rules to the letter, so we’re not liable for damages from takedowns or restorations done in good faith. If you send a false claim or counter-notice, you could face legal trouble—don’t play dirty.
