DMCA / Copyright Policy

Effective Date:November 5, 2025
Last Updated:April 23, 2026

Splyc LLC doing business as Splyc ("Splyc," "we," "our," or "us") respects intellectual property rights. This DMCA / Copyright Policy explains how copyright holders can notify us of claimed infringement, how we handle counter-notifications and repeat infringers, and how this Policy fits with our Terms of Service. It is not legal advice; consult qualified counsel about your specific situation.

Overview and relationship to the Terms

Much of what appears on or through Splyc is User Content: clips, edits, captions, thumbnails, metadata, and links that users import, generate, save, or publish using our websites, extension, APIs, and related services (the "Service"). Users choose what to upload, clip, edit, and where to publish. Splyc does not pre-clear copyright, trademark, or other rights in User Content and is not a party to agreements between users, streamers, labels, game publishers, or platforms.

This Policy works together with the Terms of Service, including sections on your representations, the license you grant Splyc, copyright and DMCA disputes, third-party platforms, indemnification, and limitations of liability. If anything in this Policy conflicts with the Terms as to use of the Service, the Terms control for that use.

Ownership, licenses, and your responsibility

What you own and what you license. Between you and Splyc, you retain ownership of your User Content to the extent you own it under applicable law. To run the Service—including hosting, processing, adapting, storing, transmitting, and displaying material you create or save through Splyc—you grant Splyc the worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license described in the License you grant to Splyc section of the Terms. That license is what lets us operate features you use (for example cloud editing, thumbnails, share links, and optional uploads you direct). It is not a transfer of ownership of your social accounts, channel brands, or third-party broadcasts to Splyc.

Underlying source content. Live streams, VODs, gameplay, music, and platform UI may be owned or controlled by streamers, platforms, licensors, or others. Your edits, captions, crops, or timing choices may involve additional creative choices, but they do not by themselves resolve whether a clip may be published or monetized on a given platform or under private agreements. Youare responsible for obtaining and documenting the rights you need and for complying with each platform's terms—see Your representations about content and platforms in the Terms.

Disputes with rights holders. If a streamer, platform, or other rights holder complains about your User Content, the Terms describe how Splyc may respond and how disputes are allocated between you and third parties. See Copyright, DMCA, and disputes with rights holders and Indemnification.

Designated agent (DMCA)

Under Section 512 of the U.S. Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. Section 512), copyright owners or their agents may send notice of claimed infringement to our designated agent. Notices should be emailed to:

Email (primary): dmca@splyc.app

Postal mailing address (for notices sent by mail)
731 SE Alices Rd
West Des Moines, IA 50266
United States

Email is usually the fastest way to reach us. For postal notices, expand the section above or use the address listed for Splyc in the U.S. Copyright Office's public DMCA agent directory at copyright.gov/dmca-directory. Splyc may use a commercial registered-agent provider to help maintain Copyright Office registration; unless we publish a different primary notice address, send copyright notices to the email shown here or the postal address in the expandable section (or as listed in that directory).

Takedown notice requirements

To be actionable, your notice should substantially include the information the statute requires. At minimum, please provide:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Splyc to locate the material (for example public clip URLs, share links, clip or project IDs, and timestamps or titles where possible).
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit Splyc to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Incomplete or abusive notices may be rejected or deprioritized. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can expose you to liability under applicable law.

Counter-notifications

If we remove or disable access to material in good faith based on a copyright notice, the user who posted that material may be able to submit a counter-notification consistent with Section 512. A counter-notification typically must include the user's contact information, identification of the material and its prior location, a statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification, and consent to federal court jurisdiction in the appropriate district (or, if outside the U.S., acceptance of U.S. federal court service).

If we receive a qualifying counter-notification, we may replace the removed material after the statutory waiting period unless the original notifier informs us that a court action has been filed. Procedures and timelines can depend on the facts and applicable law; we may request additional information to verify identity and authority.

Repeat infringers and enforcement

It is our policy to terminate or restrict access for users who are repeat infringers where appropriate, in a manner consistent with Section 512 and our Terms of Service. We may also remove or disable User Content, suspend features, or take other account actions in response to lawful notices, platform requirements, court orders, or if we reasonably believe material violates the Terms or creates liability for Splyc or others.

Program features, distribution, and payouts

If you participate in Splyc monetization, campaign, or distribution features (including content surfaced through Splyc program accounts or dashboards), copyright complaints, platform enforcement, or takedowns may affect listing, attribution, measurement, or payouts as described in the applicable Terms, in-product disclosures, or separate program materials. Nothing in this Policy guarantees any payout or placement; program mechanics remain subject to those terms and to compliance with law and platform rules.

Third-party platforms

Removing or disabling material on Splyc does not resolve claims on Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok, X, or other services where the same or related content may appear. Each platform has its own notice, appeal, and enforcement processes. You are responsible for complying with their developer policies, community guidelines, and clip or monetization rules in addition to this Policy and our Terms.

Trademarks and other intellectual property

This page focuses on copyright under the DMCA. If you need to report trademark misuse, impersonation, or other non-copyright issues, email dmca@splyc.app with a clear subject line (for example "Trademark report") and enough detail for us to evaluate the claim. We handle such reports in our discretion and as permitted by law; we are not obligated to mediate business disputes between users.

Good faith processing and limitations

We process notices and counter-notices in good faith based on the information provided. We do not monitor all User Content and cannot guarantee identification of every potentially infringing file. Compliance with this Policy, the DMCA, or agent registration does not guarantee any particular outcome in litigation or on third-party platforms, and does not waive any defenses or rights available to Splyc under law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above. Material changes may be announced through the Service or by email where appropriate. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy to the extent permitted by law.
