Content Ownership
Before submitting a DMCA notice, please read this important clarification about how NZ IPTV operates and the nature of our service.
NZ IPTV operates strictly as a technical access platform. We do not produce, store, or control any of the content accessible through our service.
- Does not host or store any media files on our servers.
- Does not upload, produce, or record any content whatsoever.
- Provides only technical access tools (links, playlists, APIs) to third-party streams.
- All content originates from external servers beyond our control.
DMCA Takedown Request
Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512), copyright owners or authorised agents may request the removal of infringing material. Your written notice must include all of the following:
Full legal name, address, phone number, and email address.
Clear identification of the copyrighted work alleged to be infringed.
Exact details such as URLs, channel names, or playlist identifiers.
Confirm that you believe the use of the material is unauthorised.
Declare the information is correct and you are authorised to act.
Physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or agent.
Submission of Notices
Send all DMCA takedown notices in writing to our designated DMCA agent:
Upon receiving a valid notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), NZ IPTV will:
- Review the request for full statutory compliance.
- Disable or restrict access to the identified links, playlists, or channels when appropriate.
- Notify relevant third-party providers of the alleged infringement where possible.
Counter‑Notice Procedure
If you believe content was removed or disabled in error or as a result of misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. The counter-notice must contain:
- Your full legal name and complete contact information.
- Identification of the specific material removed or disabled and its former location.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that removal or disabling was the result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
NZ IPTV will forward the counter-notice to the original complainant. If the complainant does not take legal action within the statutory period, NZ IPTV may restore access to the removed material.
Limitation of Liability
Because NZ IPTV does not host, store, or upload any content, our liability is strictly limited in the following ways:
- We cannot delete or alter files located on external third-party servers.
- Our role is limited to disabling access links, playlists, or channels available through our platform only.
- We cannot guarantee transparency or removal outcomes from independent third-party hosts.
- We act strictly within the DMCA safe-harbour provisions by removing or disabling access only from our platform.
Repeat Infringement Policy
This policy applies to all users of the NZ IPTV platform regardless of subscription tier or account standing. Repeat infringement includes any account that has had two or more valid DMCA notices actioned against it.
Conclusion & Our Commitment
NZ IPTV implements this DMCA Policy in full accordance with 17 U.S.C. §512. We operate under the DMCA safe-harbour provisions and respond to valid takedown notices and counter-notices as required by law.
