DMCA & Copyright Policy

Last updated: 2026-03-01

⚠ Important — Read First

TokHarvest does not host, store, or serve any video content. When a user processes a content URL using TokHarvest, any media file travels directly from the original platform’s content delivery network (CDN) to the user’s own device. TokHarvest servers never receive, cache, or retain any video file.

Therefore, if you are the copyright owner of a video, the appropriate party to contact for takedown is the platform hosting the content (e.g. TikTok, YouTube, Instagram), not TokHarvest. We provide direct links to each platform’s DMCA process below.

1. Our Commitment to Copyright

TokHarvest takes copyright law seriously. We designed our platform to help creators manage and archive their own content. We explicitly prohibit users from using TokHarvest to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. Our Terms of Service make this clear.

We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and analogous international copyright laws. We will respond to valid DMCA notices promptly and will terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

2. What TokHarvest Does NOT Store

To be explicit about TokHarvest’s technical architecture as it relates to copyright:

✗ TokHarvest servers do not receive or store any video files
✗ TokHarvest does not cache, transcode, or re-serve video content
✗ TokHarvest does not host a library of videos accessible to other users
✗ TokHarvest does not make infringing content available to the public

TokHarvest is a content management tool — similar in nature to a media organizer or a browser extension. Any media transfer happens between the user’s device and the CDN of the original platform. Our servers only handle authentication and quota enforcement.

3. Platform DMCA Contacts

If your copyrighted content is being hosted by a third-party platform, please file your DMCA notice directly with that platform:

TikTok — tiktok.com/legal/copyright-policy
YouTube — YouTube Copyright Center
Instagram — Instagram Copyright Report Form
Twitter / X — Twitter/X DMCA Form

Filing with the platform is both faster and more effective because they control the actual content and can remove or restrict it.

4. Filing a DMCA Notice with TokHarvest

If you believe TokHarvest itself (the website or service at tokharvest.com) is infringing your copyright — for example, if TokHarvest is somehow facilitating the distribution of your content in a way not covered by Section 2 above — you may file a DMCA notice with us.

Send DMCA notices to:

[email protected]

📝 Your notice must include all of the following:

✓ Your full legal name and contact information (address, phone, email)
✓ A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed
✓ The specific URL or location on tokharvest.com of the allegedly infringing material
✓ A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or law
✓ A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf
✓ Your physical or electronic signature

Warning: Filing a false DMCA claim is a serious legal matter and may expose you to liability for damages, including costs and attorney fees, under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

5. Counter-Notices

If you believe your content or account was affected by a DMCA takedown in error, you may file a counter-notice. Your counter-notice must include:

• Your full name, address, phone number, and email address
• Identification of the material that was removed and its original location
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification
• Your consent to the jurisdiction of your local federal court (or your country’s equivalent)
• Your physical or electronic signature

Send your counter-notice to: [email protected]. Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and restore access within 10–14 business days unless the complainant seeks a court order.

6. Repeat Infringers

TokHarvest maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We define a repeat infringer as any user whose account is associated with two or more substantiated DMCA complaints within a 12-month period.

Termination for repeat infringement is permanent and no refund will be issued.

7. Response Time & Contact

We take copyright matters seriously and aim to respond to all valid DMCA notices within 5 business days. We may request additional information if your notice is incomplete before processing it.
