2. Our Role

It is important to understand that YT Downloader:

• Does not host any content: We do not store videos, audio files, or any media content on our servers
• Acts as a tool: We provide a technical tool that facilitates downloading publicly available content from third-party platforms
• Does not upload content: All content is sourced directly from the original platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter)

Users are solely responsible for ensuring they have the right to download and use any content accessed through our Service.

6. Repeat Infringers

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, 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 accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others.

7. Fair Use Considerations

Before submitting a DMCA notice, please consider whether the use of the copyrighted material falls under fair use. Fair use is a legal doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as:

• Criticism and commentary
• News reporting
• Teaching and education
• Research and scholarship
• Parody

8. False Claims

Please be aware 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 for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

9. Content Removal

If we receive a valid DMCA notice regarding content accessible through our Service, we will:

• Remove or disable access to the infringing material promptly
• Notify the user who posted the material
• Take reasonable steps to prevent future infringement

However, please note that since we do not host content, removal actions may be limited to blocking access through our Service or implementing filters.
