We respect copyright and expect our users to do the same. Because AivoPlay hosts nothing, this page also explains where a takedown notice will actually be effective — which is usually not with us.
AivoPlay is a media player. It ships with no channels, no films and no playlists. It does not host, store, index, stream, cache on our servers, or transmit any third-party content, and it provides no search or directory of content sources.
Everything a user watches comes from a playlist they supply themselves, served from infrastructure operated by a third party we have no relationship with or control over. We cannot remove, disable or block an individual stream, channel or title, because none of it passes through us.
AivoPlay is free software released worldwide by an independent development team. We earn nothing from it, sell nothing through it, and have no commercial relationship with any IPTV service. We take copyright seriously and respond to every properly directed notice.
If your work is being distributed without authorisation over an IPTV service, the effective recipients of a notice are:
Those parties can actually take the content down. We can only act on material that is genuinely ours to control — for example something published on this website or inside the app itself.
If you believe material on our website or within the application itself infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent below. To comply with 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), it must include:
We review valid notices promptly and remove or disable access to infringing material we control. A notice that only identifies a stream inside a user's own playlist cannot be actioned by us — see above for who can act on it.
If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notification containing: your signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake; and your name, address and telephone number, together with a statement that you will accept service of process from the complainant in the courts of your place of residence.
Where the law requires it, we may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after forwarding your counter-notification, unless the complainant files a court action first.
AivoPlay is available worldwide, and we accept copyright complaints under any applicable regime — not only the DMCA. If you are relying on the EU Copyright Directive, the UK CDPA, Canada's notice-and- notice rules, or the law of another country, send your notice to the same address and tell us which law you are relying on.
The information we need is the same everywhere: identify the work, identify precisely what you say infringes it and where, confirm you are authorised to act, and give us a way to reach you. We do not require a particular form.
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts or access of users who are repeat infringers.
Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. Please make sure the material is actually ours to control before filing.
Copyright notices and counter-notifications: dmca@aivoplay.org.
AivoPlay is maintained by an independent development team rather than a registered company, so there is no incorporated entity, registered office or postal agent to serve. We have no registration with the U.S. Copyright Office and therefore do not claim the §512(c) safe harbour — we are not a hosting provider and store no user content that would require one. Email is the correct and only channel, and it is monitored.
We aim to acknowledge every notice within 5 business days. Notices sent to general support will be forwarded, but going direct is faster.
