DMCA Policy

1. Introduction

SnapTik respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the service to do the same. This policy explains how SnapTik responds to claims of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and similar international frameworks, and how a rights holder can request that access to specific content be addressed.

It is important to understand what SnapTik actually does from a technical standpoint: SnapTik does not host, store, or maintain a permanent, browsable library of TikTok videos on its own servers. Processing a link is a temporary, on-demand action initiated by a user pasting a public TikTok URL, and the prepared file is not kept as a persistent, publicly accessible copy on our infrastructure after that session. This policy still exists because rights holders should have a clear, direct channel to raise concerns, and because we take copyright seriously regardless of the technical architecture involved.

2. Our Commitment to Copyright

SnapTik is designed for personal use of publicly available TikTok content, such as saving a clip for offline viewing or reference. We do not encourage or condone using the service to build a competing archive of someone else's work, to repost content without permission, or to monetize another creator's content without authorization. Our Terms of Service require users to respect creator rights, and this DMCA Policy gives rights holders a direct path to flag concerns.

3. What Is a DMCA Takedown Notice

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is a United States copyright law that provides a process for copyright owners to request the removal of infringing material and for service providers to respond to such requests. Even if you are located outside the United States, we generally apply the same notice-and-response process described here for any well-documented, good-faith copyright concern, since the underlying principle (a clear, verifiable request from the actual rights holder) applies regardless of jurisdiction.

This process exists to balance two things: giving creators a real, working way to flag content they believe misuses their work, and protecting users from having content restricted based on vague, unverifiable, or bad-faith complaints. Both sides of that balance matter to us, which is why the requirements in Section 4 and the counter-notification process in Section 7 are both spelled out in full.

4. Filing a DMCA Notice

If you believe that content accessible through SnapTik infringes a copyright you own or represent, you may send a written notice that includes all of the following information. Notices missing required elements may be delayed while we request the missing details.

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are involved
• Identification of the specific material you claim is infringing, including enough information (such as the exact TikTok link or description) for us to locate it
• Your contact information, including a name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
• 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
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf

5. Where to Send Notices

Send complete DMCA notices to help@snaptikk.com with the subject line "DMCA Notice". Please send notices only through this channel rather than through social media or general support requests, so they can be tracked and processed correctly.

6. Our Response Process

When we receive a complete and valid notice, we review it and take appropriate action based on what we can control from our side, such as addressing the specific link or feature referenced, within a reasonable timeframe. Because SnapTik does not maintain a persistent index of previously downloaded content, our response is generally about the tool's handling of the specific TikTok source link identified, rather than removing a file from a public library, since no such public library exists on our end.

We may also notify the user who submitted the relevant request, where technically identifiable, that a copyright concern was raised, consistent with standard notice-and-takedown practice.

7. Counter-Notification

If you believe that content or functionality was restricted as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. A valid counter-notification should include:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material that was restricted and its location before the action was taken
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was restricted as a result of mistake or misidentification
• Your name, address, and telephone number
• A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the applicable federal district court (for U.S. claims) or an equivalent statement for the relevant jurisdiction, and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice

8. Repeat Infringer Policy

Although SnapTik does not operate user accounts in the traditional sense, we reserve the right to restrict access from IP addresses or devices that are repeatedly associated with valid, documented copyright complaints, consistent with our Terms of Service prohibition on using the tool to infringe others' rights.

9. Good Faith and Misrepresentation

Submitting a false or misleading DMCA notice or counter-notification, including knowingly misrepresenting that content is infringing, may expose you to legal liability under applicable law, including for damages incurred by the party you accused. Please review all information carefully and, where in doubt, seek legal advice before submitting a notice.

10. Limitations of This Policy

This policy describes how SnapTik, as an independent tool, responds to copyright concerns related to its own operation. It does not replace or substitute for a DMCA complaint filed directly with TikTok/ByteDance Ltd, who operate the underlying platform and may be the more appropriate party for removing content from TikTok itself. We encourage rights holders to also use TikTok's own copyright reporting tools where the concern relates to content hosted on TikTok directly.
