4. DMCA Takedown Process

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that content on Filmroll infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice to our designated Copyright Agent at dmca@filmroll.com.

Your takedown notice must include:

• A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.

Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will promptly investigate and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the infringing content. The account holder will be notified. Repeated infringement will result in account termination.
