Our approach
ClipToGo does not host or publish videos. It prepares a temporary copy of a public YouTube video when a visitor asks for one, and deletes it automatically shortly afterwards. Our Terms of Use require visitors to download only content they own or have permission to use, and we refuse private, paid, members-only, age-restricted and DRM-protected videos.
We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement, including notices under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and similar laws elsewhere.
What a notice can do
- We can block the videos you list, so they can no longer be fetched or downloaded through ClipToGo.
- We cannot remove a video from YouTube. To do that, use YouTube's own copyright tools.
- We cannot delete copies that someone has already saved to their device, because we do not keep them.
What to include
The form below asks for everything a valid notice needs:
- Your name and contact details, and whether you are the owner or act on the owner's behalf.
- A description of the copyrighted work you believe is being infringed.
- The YouTube link of each video you want blocked.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent or the law.
- A statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for them.
- Your electronic signature, which is your full name typed in the form.
After you send it
You get a reference number straight away. We review each notice, block the videos it covers once it is complete, and reply to the email address you gave us. If something is missing or unclear, we will ask you. Please keep the reference for any follow-up.
If you think a block is wrong
If you are the creator of a blocked video, or have the rights to it, and believe it was blocked by mistake, contact us with the video link, an explanation and proof of your rights. We will review it and may lift the block, and we may share your response with the person who sent the notice.
Misuse of the process
Knowingly sending a false or misleading notice can make you liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. We may ignore notices that are clearly abusive, and we may block access for visitors who repeatedly misuse the Service.
