DMCA & Copyright Policy

SwayReel respects the intellectual property of others and expects its users to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and similar laws elsewhere.

Submitting a takedown notice

If you believe content on SwayReel infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, email support@swayreel.com with the subject "DMCA Notice" and include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. A description of the copyrighted work you believe was infringed.
3. The URL or another precise description of where the material is on SwayReel, detailed enough for us to find it.
4. Your name, address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Incomplete notices may delay our response. We may forward your notice, including your contact details, to the user who posted the content.

What happens next

When we receive a valid notice we remove or disable access to the material and let the user who posted it know.

Counter-notices

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, email support@swayreel.com with the subject "DMCA Counter-Notice" and include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. A description of the removed material and where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which SwayReel may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

If the original complainant does not tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material.

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyrights, in appropriate circumstances.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. If you are unsure whether material infringes your rights, please seek legal advice before sending a notice.
