If you believe that content linked on VidShare infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice. Your notice must include the following information:

3. Contact information: Include your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. Good faith statement: Include the following statement: "I have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material described above is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
5. Accuracy statement: Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."

2. Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing link if the claim is valid
3. Notify the user who submitted the content (if applicable)

Counter-Notice

If you believe that content you submitted was removed in error or as a result of misidentification, you may file a counter-notice. Your counter-notice must include:

1. Your name, address, phone number, and email address
2. Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Service and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others.

False Claims

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability. We reserve the right to seek damages from any party that submits a false or bad faith DMCA notice.

Copyright Infringement on Third-Party Platforms

Since we do not host video content, you may also need to file a DMCA complaint directly with the hosting platform where the content is stored:

Content Removal Alternatives

If you are the copyright holder and want content removed from VidShare specifically (not the hosting platform), you can also:

• Use the "Report" button on any video page
• Contact us via our Contact Form
• Send an email explaining the situation (formal DMCA notice not required for voluntary removal)

We will review your request and may remove the link at our discretion, even without a formal DMCA notice.

Processing Time

We aim to process all DMCA requests within:

• Urgent cases: 24 hours
• Standard cases: 48-72 hours
