Copyright / DMCA Policy

1. Our position on copyright

Fitdown is a general-purpose tool for retrieving a personal copy of publicly accessible media. It is intended for lawful uses — such as saving your own content, content you have explicit permission to download, or content whose use is otherwise permitted under applicable copyright exceptions (e.g., fair use or fair dealing). We do not condone using the Service to infringe anyone's copyright, and we respond to valid takedown notices as described below.

The Service does not persistently host or index third-party content. Files are fetched on request and automatically deleted after a short retention window (see our Privacy Policy); we do not maintain a searchable library of copyrighted works.

2. Filing a takedown notice

If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on a copyright owner's behalf, and believe that content accessible through the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), to our designated agent below. To be effective, your notice must include, in writing:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
3. Identification of the specific material you claim is infringing, and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it on the Service (e.g. the exact URL you submitted, or a screenshot);
4. Your contact information — at minimum an address, telephone number, and email address;
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send notices to our designated DMCA agent:

Incomplete notices may not receive a response. We recommend using the DMCA notice template published by the U.S. Copyright Office if you are unsure how to format your notice.

3. Counter-notification

If you believe material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) to the same address above, including:

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the material and its location before it was removed or disabled;
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.

4. Repeat infringer policy

In appropriate circumstances, we will restrict or terminate access to the Service for users who are determined to be repeat infringers.

5. Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages.
