1. Overview
Save My Clips complies with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and equivalent regimes in other jurisdictions. If you are a copyright owner (or someone authorized to act on their behalf) and you believe a Snapchat video is being downloaded through Save My Clips in a way that infringes your rights, you can submit a notice using the steps below.
2. How to file a notice
Send a written notice to our designated agent by email at dmca@savemyclips.com. Notices sent through other channels (social media, support forms, etc.) may be missed or delayed.
3. Required information
To be actionable under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorized to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g. "the Snapchat Spotlight video posted by @user on [date]").
- The specific Snapchat URL being downloaded, not the Save My Clips homepage. We block by source URL, so a generic complaint cannot be acted upon.
- Your contact information: name, address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder.
4. What we do with valid notices
When we receive a valid notice we will:
- Add the offending Snapchat URL to our resolver blocklist so Save My Clips refuses to process it.
- Discard any cached metadata associated with the URL (which we don't keep long anyway).
- Confirm the action to the complainant by email within 14 days.
- Where appropriate, forward the notice to Snap Inc. so the source content can be addressed at its origin.
5. Counter-notification
If you believe a URL was blocked in error or that your use is authorized (for example, by the copyright owner, by a license, or by fair use / fair dealing), you may submit a counter-notice to the same address. It must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the URL that was blocked and where it previously appeared.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the URL was blocked in error.
- Your name, address, phone number and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the relevant federal court.
If we receive a valid counter-notice and no further legal action is taken against the URL within 10-14 business days, we may restore the URL to the resolver.
6. Repeat offenders
Save My Clips has no user accounts, but we keep a moving blocklist of URL patterns and source IPs tied to repeated valid DMCA notices. Persistent abuse will result in those patterns or sources being denied service indefinitely.
7. Misrepresentation warning
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), filing a knowingly false DMCA notice can make you liable for damages, including costs and attorney's fees. Please consult a lawyer if you are unsure whether something infringes your copyright before filing.
