DMCA Policy
Copyright Protection Commitment

1. Introduction & Safe Harbor Status

Smarter 8K IPTV ("we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement.

Important Disclaimer: Smarter 8K IPTV functions purely as an online indexer and search engine for media available on the internet. We do not host, store, archive, or distribute any media files (videos, movies, live streams) on our own servers. All video content is hosted by non-affiliated third parties. Therefore, while we can remove links from our index, we cannot delete the actual media files from the servers where they are hosted.

2. Notification of Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner, authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through our website and service by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to our Designated Copyright Agent.

Upon receipt of a valid Notice as described below, we will take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriate, including removal of the challenged links or content from our service.

• 3. Identification of the Material: Identify the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled. (You must provide exact M3U links, URLs, or specific channel/VOD names as they appear on our platform so we can locate them.)

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Smarter 8K IPTV has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users, subscribers, or account holders who are deemed to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.
