TVALB Infringement and DMCA Policy
Claims Regarding Infringement or Other Illegal Content
(Updated July 1st 2024)
Pursuant to the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512) (the “DMCA”), TVALB (“the Company”) has implemented procedures for receiving written notification of (a) claimed copyright infringement, (b) claimed violations of other intellectual property rights, or (c) content that is otherwise alleged to be illegal. The steps required to submit a notice are outlined below and vary depending on the nature of your claim.
Please note: TVALB operates as a content distributor and platform provider, delivering live TV and on-demand content to its users. Some content may originate from third-party content providers or channels. TVALB reserves the right to terminate services for providers or partners that violate our policies, including copyright or intellectual property rights.
Depending on the nature of the content delivered via the Company, TVALB may rely on protections provided under Sections 512(a) and/or 512(b) of the DMCA, which limit liability for intermediaries who serve only as conduits or cache providers of third-party content. Specifically:
- All transmission of third-party content is initiated by external content providers or users.
- TVALB does not alter the content or influence the recipient.
- TVALB complies with industry-standard data transmission protocols.
- TVALB’s infrastructure ensures content is delivered as intended by the content owner, without interference or unauthorized modification.
