DMCA & Copyright Policy

Last updated: June 2026  ·  Applies to all channels hosted on FireflyAI

FireflyAI respects intellectual-property rights. If you believe that content on a FireflyAI-hosted channel infringes your copyright, this page explains how to submit a takedown notice and what happens next.

FireflyAI's intermediary status under Indian law (IT Act 2000, as amended) and safe-harbor provisions under US law (17 U.S.C. § 512 — DMCA) apply when we act expeditiously on valid takedown notices. Our ability to maintain these protections depends on following the procedure below exactly.

Before You File

Before submitting a formal takedown notice, consider:

• Is this actually infringement? Fair use, commentary, criticism, parody, and education are not infringement. Misuse of the takedown process can expose you to legal liability.
• Can you contact the creator directly? Many disputes can be resolved faster with a direct conversation. Creator contact details may be visible on their channel.
• Are you the rights holder? Only the copyright owner or their authorised agent may file a DMCA notice on a work's behalf.

How to Submit a Takedown Notice

Your notice must include all of the following to be valid. Incomplete notices will not be acted upon.

1. Your full legal name and contact information (address, phone number, and email).
2. A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (including a link to the original work where possible).
3. The specific URL(s) of the content on FireflyAI that you claim is infringing.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
6. Your electronic or physical signature.

What Happens After We Receive a Notice

• We will acknowledge receipt within 24 hours.
• We will review the notice for completeness and validity.
• If valid, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content and notify the creator.
• We aim to complete valid takedowns within 72 hours of receipt of a complete, valid notice.
• We will forward the notice to the creator, who may submit a counter-notification.

Counter-Notification (Creator Response)

If your content was removed and you believe the takedown was made in error or you have a licence to use the material, you may submit a counter-notification. Your counter-notification must include:

1. Your full legal name, address, phone number, and email.
2. Identification of the specific content that was removed and its URL before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed due to mistake or misidentification.
4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of India.
5. Your signature.

Send counter-notifications to dmca@fireflyfitai.com with the subject line DMCA Counter-Notification.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the removed content.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with our Creator Agreement and applicable law, FireflyAI will terminate the accounts of creators who are found to be repeat copyright infringers. A "repeat infringer" is a creator who has received three or more valid, uncontested DMCA takedown notices within any 12-month period, or who has been found by a court to have infringed copyright.

Copyright and Creator Obligations

All creators on FireflyAI are obligated by their Creator Agreement to ensure that every piece of content they publish is either:

• Original work they own, or
• Licensed under a Creative Commons or equivalent licence that permits commercial use, or
• Covered by a valid licence agreement with the rights holder, or
• Within a jurisdiction's fair use / fair dealing provisions.

Using royalty-free music, stock footage, or Creative Commons assets does not automatically make an episode copyright-free — always verify the specific licence terms.
