Copyright & DMCA Policy

The short version

TokLiveRecorder is a recording tool. We record publicly available livestreams at a user's request — we do not bypass paywalls, private streams, login-gated content or any technical protection measure, and we do not operate a library, catalogue or search index of recorded content.

Cloud recordings are held in private storage for 7 days, downloadable only by the browser session or signed-in account that created them, and are then deleted automatically. They are never made public, shared or indexed. Even so, if you hold rights in a stream and want a recording removed, we will act on a valid notice.

Where to send a notice

Email legal@tokliverecorder.com with the subject line "Copyright notice". This is our designated address for copyright matters and is monitored on business days.

What a valid notice must include

So we can act quickly and correctly, please include all of the following:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (for a livestream: the platform, the account, and the date and approximate time of the broadcast).
2. Enough information for us to locate the material — ideally the recording ID, or the account email associated with it, or the exact source link that was submitted.
3. Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, 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 rights holder or authorised to act on their behalf.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Incomplete notices may delay our response. Please note that knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a takedown notice can carry liability for damages.

What we do when we receive one

• We acknowledge receipt within 2 business days.
• Where the notice is valid and the material is within our control, we remove or disable access to it — normally within 5 business days, and sooner where the claim is clear.
• We notify the account holder and pass on a copy of the notice.
• We record the notice against that account for our repeat-infringer policy.

Recordings we cannot remove

Recordings made with the desktop application are created and stored on the user's own computer. We never receive them and have no access to them, so there is nothing for us to take down. Notices about those files have to be directed to the person who made them. The same is true of cloud recordings a user has already downloaded, and of any recording older than 7 days, which will already have been deleted.

Counter-notice

If your recording was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification — for example because it is your own broadcast, you have permission, or the use is otherwise lawful — email us a counter-notice at the address above including: identification of the material and where it was; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed in error; your name, address and telephone number; your consent to jurisdiction as required by applicable law; and your signature. We will forward it to the complainant and may restore the material where the law permits.

Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are the subject of repeated valid copyright notices. Termination means loss of access to the service and to any recordings still held.

Acceptable use, restated

Our Terms of Use require that you only record broadcasts you own, manage, or otherwise have the right or permission to record, and prohibit republishing or monetising someone else's content without permission. Users are responsible for having those rights. We enforce these terms when they are breached.
