Copyright & DMCA Policy

theirlife.pet respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all users to do the same. Creators must own or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions for the content they upload, including video footage, audio, music, images, and any other copyrighted material.

Using someone else's copyrighted work without authorization — even with credit or attribution — may constitute copyright infringement. When in doubt, create original content or obtain a written license.

If you believe your copyrighted work has been used on theirlife.pet without authorization, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice. Your notice must comply with the requirements of 17 U.S.C. §512(c) and include the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it (e.g., URL or video ID)
4. Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, and email)
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

When we receive a valid DMCA takedown notice:

1. Content Removed: The identified content is promptly removed or access is disabled.
2. Creator Notified:The content creator (the “alleged infringer”) is notified of the takedown via email, including a copy of the takedown notice (with your personal contact information included as required by law).
3. Copyright Strike Issued:A copyright strike is recorded against the creator's account.

If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice. A valid counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature
2. Identification of the content that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification
4. Your name, address, and telephone number
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice

After receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within 10–14 business days, we will restore the removed content and remove the associated copyright strike.

In accordance with the DMCA, we maintain a policy for the termination of repeat infringers:

• First copyright strike: Warning and content removal. Strike expires after 90 days.
• Second copyright strike: Content removal and 7-day upload restriction. Strike expires after 90 days.
• Third copyright strike: Permanent channel termination. All content is removed. The user is prohibited from creating new accounts.

Copyright strikes that are successfully counter-noticed (where the complainant does not pursue legal action within the statutory period) are removed from the account.

We recognize that copyright law includes the doctrine of fair use (17 U.S.C. §107), which permits limited use of copyrighted material without authorization for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

theirlife.pet does not adjudicate fair use claims. If you believe your use of copyrighted material constitutes fair use, you should assert this defense in a counter-notice. The determination of fair use is ultimately a legal question that may only be resolved by a court.
