DMCA Copyright Policy

How XVideos Chat handles copyright complaints under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) — and how notices are routed when the material lives on the third-party operator.

Last Updated: June 17, 2026

Copyright Policy

XVideos Chat operates as an adult video-chat discovery and referral service. We publish descriptive listings, editorial guides, and informational pages that help visitors evaluate an independent third-party adult video-chat platform, and we then direct interested users to that operator. We want to be precise about one point that shapes everything below: XVideos Chat does not create, host, store, encode, or stream adult videos, photographs, or live broadcasts, and we do not operate the registration, matching, chat, or video systems. Those functions, along with the overwhelming majority of user-generated and media content, belong to the third-party operating platform and its partners. We also do not process any payments.

Because of this affiliate role, the copyrighted material that appears on XVideos Chat is generally limited to our own site copy, our logos, and licensed or original promotional assets. Even so, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512. This policy explains how to notify us if you believe material accessible through our website infringes a copyright you own or control, and how that notice is handled depending on where the material actually resides.

A practical word of guidance before you file: if the material you are concerned about is a video, a livestream, a profile image, or other user-generated content, it almost certainly lives on the third-party operator's servers rather than ours. In that situation the operator is the correct designated recipient under the DMCA, and a notice sent only to us may not result in removal of the material at its source. We explain routing in the sections that follow.

Reporting Infringement

If you are a copyright owner, or an agent authorized to act on the owner's behalf, and you believe in good faith that material displayed on or linked from XVideos Chat infringes your copyright, you may send a written notification (a "takedown notice") to our designated agent using the contact details in the Contact Information section.

When you submit a notice, please tell us where the material appears so we can act quickly and correctly:

  • Material hosted by XVideos Chat — for example, text, graphics, or images published directly on our pages. We can review and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to this material ourselves.
  • Material hosted by the third-party operator — for example, videos, live sessions, profile photos, or other user content that you reached after being referred from our site. We do not control this content and cannot remove it from the operator's systems. Where we are able to identify the responsible operator, we will forward or route your notice to that platform's designated copyright agent and, where feasible, disable any specific link on our site that points to the identified material.

Identifying the correct host at the outset helps everyone. A notice properly addressed to the operator that actually stores the file is the most reliable path to removal.

Required Information

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your takedown notice must be a written communication that includes all six of the following elements. An incomplete notice may delay or prevent action.

  • Signature. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work. A description of the work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works.
  • Identification of the infringing material. A description of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail and location information (such as a direct URL) to let us locate it, and a clear indication of whether it appears on XVideos Chat or on the third-party operator.
  • Contact information. Your address, telephone number, and email address so we can reach you.
  • Good-faith statement. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • Accuracy and authority statement. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and—under penalty of perjury—that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Please be aware that under § 512(f) anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including the costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the alleged infringer and by service providers. Do not send a notice for material you do not own or are not authorized to represent.

Review Process

After our designated agent receives a notice, we follow a consistent sequence:

  • We confirm the notice contains the six required elements. If something is missing, we may contact you to request the omitted information before proceeding.
  • We determine where the identified material is hosted. For material on XVideos Chat, we evaluate the claim and, where warranted, expeditiously remove or disable access to it.
  • For material hosted by the third-party operator, we forward or route the notice to the operator's designated agent where we can identify them, and we disable any specific referral link on our site that we can tie to the identified material. Final removal at the source is the operator's responsibility under its own DMCA process.
  • Where applicable, we notify the party who supplied or posted the affected material that an action has been taken, so that party may submit a counter-notification if they choose.

We aim to acknowledge complete notices promptly. The time required for material on the operator's platform depends on that operator's own review timeline, which is outside our control.

Counter-Notification

If material you posted or supplied on XVideos Chat was removed or disabled because of a takedown notice, and you believe the removal resulted from a mistake or a misidentification of the material, you may send a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) to our designated agent. A valid counter-notification must include:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location at which it appeared before removal.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number, together with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which XVideos Chat may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or that person's agent.

Upon receiving a proper counter-notification for material we host, we may forward it to the original complainant. As permitted under § 512(g), we may restore the removed material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification, unless our designated agent first receives notice that the complainant has filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringing activity. For material on the third-party operator, counter-notifications should be directed to that operator, since restoration is governed by the operator's own procedures.

Repeat Infringer Policy

Consistent with § 512(i), XVideos Chat maintains and reasonably implements a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the access or accounts of users who are repeat infringers. Although most user accounts and content reside with the third-party operator rather than with us, where we control an account, listing, or contributor relationship associated with repeated, validly noticed infringement, we will restrict or terminate that access. We also cooperate with the third-party operator's enforcement of its own repeat-infringer policy and may discontinue referral relationships that demonstrate a pattern of infringement. A "repeat infringer" is generally a party that has been the subject of more than one valid takedown notice.

Contact Information

Send takedown notices and counter-notifications to the XVideos Chat Designated Copyright Agent ([email protected]). Please put "DMCA Notice" or "DMCA Counter-Notification" in the subject line so your message is routed correctly.

Only DMCA-related correspondence should be sent to this address. General questions, technical issues, or account problems—particularly those involving the third-party operator's services—should be raised through the appropriate support channel, and complaints about content stored on the operator's platform should ultimately be directed to that operator's designated agent.

Legal Disclaimer

This policy is provided for general informational purposes and describes how XVideos Chat handles copyright matters in its capacity as a discovery and referral service. It is not legal advice. The DMCA is a complex statute, and submitting a notice or counter-notification carries legal consequences, including potential liability for misrepresentation. If you are unsure of your rights or obligations, consult a qualified attorney.

Nothing in this policy expands our role beyond that of an affiliate platform: we do not host the adult video, livestream, or user-generated content of the third-party operator, we do not process payments, and our ability to act is limited to the material we actually control. We may update this policy from time to time, and any revision takes effect when posted on this page.
