DMCA Disclaimer & Copyright Policy

Zenith IPTV respects the intellectual property rights of creators, broadcasters, and copyright owners worldwide. It is our strict policy to respond promptly to clear, formal notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) ("DMCA") and corresponding international intellectual property statutes.

1. Intermediary Status & Non-Hosting Disclaimer

Zenith IPTV operates solely as an online technical intermediary and software service facilitator. Please review the following technical realities governing our operational scope:

• No Direct Media Hosting: Zenith IPTV does not host, upload, record, encode, store, or broadcast video, audio, or multimedia content on its physical or virtual web servers.
• Technical Routing Protocols: Our infrastructure facilitates digital connection indexing and streaming transport protocol routing that allows end-user media players (such as TiviMate, VLC, and IPTV Smarters) to interface with third-party, publicly available streaming signals.
• Independent Content Sources: All audiovisual broadcasts, television channels, and video-on-demand assets accessible via user-configured applications are transmitted directly from third-party server networks entirely outside our physical control or ownership.

2. Notice and Takedown Procedure

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent thereof and believe that any stream indexing, playlist link, or reference available through our service infringes upon your copyright under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), you may submit a formal written notification containing the statutory criteria outlined below.

3. Required Statutory Information for DMCA Notices

To ensure prompt processing, your DMCA notice must be written in English and contain the following six (6) items pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A):

1. Authorized Signature: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of Copyrighted Work: Clear identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Specific Location Information: Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, including sufficient detail for us to locate the material (specifically including the exact URL, channel identifier, or stream reference).
4. Contact Information: Information reasonably sufficient to permit Zenith IPTV to contact you, including your full legal name, physical mailing address, telephone number, and valid email address.
5. Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. Accuracy & Perjury Statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

4. Designated Copyright Agent Contact

All formal copyright notifications, DMCA notices, and legal inquiries should be directed to our designated agent at the following electronic contact point:

• Designated Compliance Email: [email protected]
• Alternative Legal Inbox: [email protected]
• Subject Line Requirement: Please specify "DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice" in the subject line to ensure immediate escalation.

Upon receipt of a valid and compliant notification, Zenith IPTV will act expeditiously to review the matter, disable or restrict access to the infringing index pointers, and notify any affected third-party content providers.

5. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that access to your content or subscription link was mistakenly disabled or removed as a result of misidentification or clerical error, you may submit a counter-notification pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA.

A valid counter-notification must be in writing and contain:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, physical address, and telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal or judicial district court.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable international intellectual property laws, Zenith IPTV maintains a strict policy to terminate, under appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the subscription accounts of users or technical entities who are determined to be repeat copyright infringers.

7. False or Bad Faith Claims

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to substantial liability for damages, including legal fees and court costs incurred by the alleged infringer, copyright owner, or service provider.
