1. Introduction & Scope
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy (“Policy”) applies to all services provided by Xtreme IPTV, including our website, streaming platform, mobile applications, and related technologies (collectively, the “Services”). As a responsible service provider, we are committed to protecting intellectual property rights while complying with global copyright laws, including the U.S. DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512), EU Copyright Directive, and other international treaties. This Policy outlines our procedures for handling copyright infringement claims and explains how legitimate rights holders may submit valid complaints.
2. Copyright Protection Principles
Xtreme IPTV respects the intellectual property rights of content creators and copyright holders worldwide. We operate as a technology service provider that enables access to streaming content while implementing robust systems to address valid infringement claims. Before submitting a copyright complaint, we strongly recommend verifying that you either own the copyrighted material or are legally authorized to act on the owner’s behalf. If you are uncertain whether the content in question constitutes infringement, we advise consulting with legal counsel, as misrepresentation in a DMCA notice may lead to legal consequences under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.
3. Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice
To file a valid copyright infringement notification, rights holders or their authorized agents must provide a written communication that includes all of the following elements: a detailed identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, including specific titles, registration numbers (if applicable), and descriptions of the protected material; the exact location of the allegedly infringing content within our Services, including URLs, channel names, and timestamps where available; your complete contact information, including full legal name, physical address, telephone number, and valid email address; a statement declaring your good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; a verification that the information in the notification is accurate, made under penalty of perjury; and a physical or electronic signature of the authorized person.
4. Notice Processing & Content Removal
Upon receiving a complete DMCA notice that meets all statutory requirements, we will promptly acknowledge receipt within 48 business hours and initiate a thorough review process. Our copyright team conducts verification checks to ensure the complaint’s validity, typically completing this assessment within 72 hours. For notices that satisfy all legal criteria, we will disable access to or remove the allegedly infringing material within 10 business days while implementing technical measures to prevent reappearance of the content. We maintain comprehensive records of all takedown actions, including timestamps, removal details, and associated user accounts, preserving this information for a minimum of 90 days as evidence in any potential legal proceedings.
5. User Notification & Counter-Claim Process
When content is removed pursuant to a DMCA notice, we provide the affected user with detailed information about the action, including the specific reason for removal, the case reference number, and complete instructions for filing a counter-notification if they believe the takedown was mistaken. A valid counter-notification must include identification of the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury that the removal resulted from error or misidentification, consent to jurisdiction in the applicable federal district court, and the user’s physical or electronic signature. Upon receiving a proper counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and restore the material within 10-14 business days unless we receive notice that legal action has been initiated to prevent the restoration.
6. Repeat Infringer Policy & Account Termination
Xtreme IPTV maintains a strict policy against repeat copyright infringers, implementing a graduated enforcement system designed to educate users while protecting intellectual property rights. For first-time violations, we remove the infringing content and issue a formal warning with educational resources about copyright law. Second violations within a 12-month period result in a 30-day service suspension and mandatory completion of a copyright compliance course. Third violations lead to permanent termination of the user’s account, IP address blocking, and forfeiture of any remaining subscription balance. Users may appeal enforcement actions by submitting a written request to our appeals department within 30 days of notification, providing any relevant evidence or explanations for reconsideration.
7. Policy Modifications & Updates
We reserve the right to modify this DMCA Policy at any time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our business operations. When making material changes, we will provide at least 30 days’ advance notice through prominent announcements on our website and, where appropriate, direct communications to registered users. The updated version will become effective immediately upon posting unless otherwise specified, and continued use of our Services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We maintain an archive of previous policy versions that is available upon request to [email protected], ensuring transparency in our compliance practices.
