Copyright Repeated Infringement Policy  

This Copyright Repeated Infringement Policy is a part of Dailymotion’s repeated infringement policy, as available in Dailymotion’s Terms of Use. It specifically aims at tackling repeated copyright violations which may occur on the Dailymotion Service.  

As a reminder, Dailymotion takes compliance with its Prohibited Content Policy and its general Terms of Use very seriously in order to ensure a safe and respectful viewing environment for its Visitors, Users and Partners.  

As detailed in Section J of our Prohibited Content Policy, the distribution of any content reproducing all or part of a work protected by a copyright without the authorization of the author or the person who holds the rights for this exploitation is forbidden, unless it falls under one of the exceptions listed in such Section. 

Please note that Dailymotion reserve the right to apply more severe and immediate sanctions at its sole discretion if we believe that certain violations on your Dailymotion account present a severe harm which require immediate action on our end, as explained in our Terms of Use and Prohibited Content Policy.  

In the event we receive a copyright content removal request about your video, which we deem to be a valid request, such copyright-infringing video will be deleted, and you will be notified about it by email.  

If this is the first time you receive an email informing you about the removal of your video for copyright infringement based on a legitimate request, it will count as your first copyright strike.  

A copyright strike lasts for 90 (ninety) days.  

If you believe your video has been removed by mistake (e.g. you consider that you have a legitimate right to use the copyright-protected works in your video, per one of the applicable legal exceptions), you have a right to appeal such decision through the link that was provided to you in the email informing you of such decision.   

If your appeal leads us to overrule our initial decision, your video will be reinstated, and the associated copyright strike will be removed. We may also remove a copyright strike if the claimant withdraws its notice.  

It may happen to make mistakes. However, as of 5 copyright strikes over a period of 90 days, you will be restricted from uploading any content on the Dailymotion platform for a period of 7 (seven) days.   

As of 10 copyright strikes over a period of 90 days, your Dailymotion account will be immediately and permanently deleted, along with all the videos you uploaded on such account. 

If you are a member of the Partner Program, you might be granted a few days-window of limited access to your Dailymotion account before it is terminated so that you can archive your non-infringing video catalog.   

Dailymotion’s decision to restrict or suspend your use of our Service, and for how long, takes into account a combination of factors, as required by article 23 of the Digital Services Act (DSA).    

These factors notably correspond to the nature of the infringement, the gravity of its consequences, the volume of illegal content within the 90-day period, the proportion of infringing content in relation to the total number of content uploaded, as well as the intention of the uploader, where possible to identify.   

They help determine the appropriate penalties and may lead to a gradation of sanctions, notably for members of the Dailymotion Partner Program.
