Disclaimer & DMCA Policy

1. Trademark & Non-Affiliation Disclaimer

GDown (https://gdown.xyz/) is an independent software tool and research project.

We are not endorsed, sponsored, affiliated with, associated with, or authorized by Douyin, TikTok, or any of their corporate affiliates. The names "Douyin", "TikTok", and associated marks, icons, and graphic assets are the registered trademarks of their respective owners. Any reference to these marks is strictly for descriptive identification purposes under nominative fair use principles.

2. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Safe Harbor

GDown respects the intellectual property rights of creators and copyright owners. We comply strictly with the provisions of Title 17, United States Code, Section 512 (the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or "DMCA").

Because GDown operates strictly as a transient digital conduit and edge proxy without persistent file storage (per 17 U.S.C. § 512(a)), we do not host or archive media content on our servers. However, we maintain active abuse desks to assist rights holders in blocking specific URL pathways if infringement is demonstrated.

3. Official Takedown Notification Procedure

If you are a copyright owner or an agent authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe in good faith that media accessible through GDown infringes upon your copyright, please deliver a formal written notice containing the following statutory information:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list of works).
3. Identification of the specific URL(s) or material on GDown claimed to be infringing, with sufficient information to allow our administrators to locate the material.
4. Contact information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you (including your legal name, physical address, telephone number, and email address).
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
