Creators keep the rights
DMCA & Copyright
Last updated: [Date]
A zap moves the file. It does not move the rights. If copyrighted work is being shared without permission, this page explains how to request removal and how to respond if your own zap was removed by mistake.
How copyright claims work
[Company Name] responds to valid notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and comparable laws. A valid notice can lead us to disable or remove the identified zap before its normal expiration.
Send a takedown notice
Email our designated agent at [Support Email]. A DMCA notice must contain:
- A clear identification of the copyrighted work you believe was infringed.
- The exact zap link or transfer ID where the material can be found. Without it, we cannot locate the file.
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorized to act for them.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
What follows a valid notice
We promptly disable or remove the zap. zappp does not require accounts, so we may not have a way to contact the sender. When contact information is available, we may forward the notice.
Counter-notices
If your zap was removed because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to [Support Email]. It must identify the removed material and former link, provide your contact information, state under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was mistaken, consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of [Governing Law], and include your signature. Where the law permits, we may restore the material unless the original claimant files a court action.
Repeat infringement
We disable links, restrict activity, and, where a person or organization can be identified, terminate access for repeat infringement.
Accuracy matters
A knowingly false takedown notice or counter-notice can create legal liability. Use this process only for copyright claims. Malware, fraud, harassment, and other harm belong in an abuse report.
