Klip Studio LLC ("Company", "we", "our", "us") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Peel service ("Service") to do the same.
It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). This page describes the information that should be present in these notices and our procedures for responding to them.
Designated Copyright Agent
We have designated a Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement. All DMCA notices should be sent to:
Klip Studio LLC
Attn: DMCA Agent
4053 Timberline Dr
San Jose, CA 95121
Email: support@trypeel.app
Note: Our designated agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Agent Directory pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2). This registration ensures we maintain Safe Harbor protection under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
DMCA Takedown Notice Requirements
If you believe that content available through the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice that includes the following information:
1. Signature: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of Copyrighted Work: Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of Infringing Material: Identification of 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, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material. Please provide a sufficiently precise description to allow us to locate the material. Where possible, please provide screenshots of the content.
4. Contact Information: Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, including your complete name, physical address, telephone number, and email address.
5. Good Faith Statement: 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. Accuracy Statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate.
7. Perjury Statement: A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
8. Additional Details: If applicable, details and proof of your claim (e.g., trademark registration numbers, copyright registration information, or other evidence of ownership).
Takedown Notice Procedure
Upon receipt of a complete takedown notice that complies with the requirements above, we will:
1. Commence our investigation of the alleged infringement;
2. Take expeditious action to investigate and respond to valid notices. We typically reach our determination within 5-7 business days for straightforward cases. Complex matters requiring additional investigation, verification, or legal review may take up to 30 business days. We will notify the complainant of the expected timeline and any delays;
3. Reserve the right to request additional information from you or to set reasonable timeframes for you to respond to our inquiries;
4. Take appropriate action based on our investigation and determination.
Possible Outcomes
Following our investigation, we may, at our sole discretion:
• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material on a permanent or temporary basis;
• Remove or disable access to the material in specific jurisdictions only;
• Conduct further investigation;
• Take no action;
• Refer the matter to law enforcement or other appropriate authorities;
• Take any other action we deem appropriate.
We have no obligation to provide detailed reasoning for our decisions regarding takedown notices.
Counter-Notice Procedure
If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice containing the following information:
1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or Santa Clara County, California if your address is outside of the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or an agent of such person.
Counter-notices should be sent to our designated Copyright Agent at the address listed above.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original takedown notice. If that party does not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may, at our discretion, restore the removed material.
Repeat Infringer Policy
It is our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Service and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
Repeat Infringer Policy Implementation
To comply with our obligations under the DMCA Safe Harbor provisions, we maintain comprehensive records of all copyright infringement notices, counter-notices, and related actions. Our repeat infringer policy is implemented as follows:
• We track all DMCA notices and counter-notices associated with each user account;
• Users receive a warning notification after the first substantiated infringement claim;
• Users who receive two substantiated claims within a 12-month period may be subject to temporary account suspension pending investigation;
• Users who receive three or more substantiated claims within a 12-month period will have their accounts permanently terminated;
• We reserve the right to immediately terminate accounts for willful, egregious, or commercial-scale infringement regardless of prior history;
• Users whose accounts are terminated for repeat infringement may not create new accounts without our express written permission.
A claim is considered "substantiated" when we determine, after good faith investigation, that the material in question was likely infringing and either: (1) the user did not submit a valid counter-notice, or (2) the copyright owner filed legal action following a counter-notice.
Important Warnings
We explicitly reject and will not process:
• False or misleading takedown notices;
• Computer-generated takedown notices;
• Bulk or spam takedown notices that do not comply with the requirements above;
• Notices that do not provide sufficient information to locate the allegedly infringing material.
Legal Consequences of Misrepresentation
Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
Before sending a DMCA notice or counter-notice, you may wish to consult with an attorney to ensure you understand your rights and obligations under the DMCA and other applicable laws.
User Responsibility
Users of the Service are responsible for ensuring that content they import, upload, or share does not infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you have the necessary rights to all content you import or upload.
We encourage copyright owners to work directly with users when possible to resolve disputes before submitting DMCA notices.
Recipes and Copyright Law
Under United States copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 102(b)), factual recipes—including ingredient lists, measurements, temperatures, times, and basic procedural steps—are not copyrightable subject matter because they constitute "ideas," "procedures," "processes," or "systems." Copyright protection may extend to creative expression accompanying recipes, such as photographs, videos, personal narratives, unique commentary, or substantial original written descriptions.
Peel's technology is designed to extract only factual recipe information (ingredients, quantities, cooking procedures, and times) from user-imported content. We do not store, cache, or redistribute original videos, photographs, or substantial creative written content from third-party sources. This extraction and presentation of factual information is consistent with established copyright principles and may constitute fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107 for purposes including personal use, education, and transformation of content into a different format.
However, users remain solely responsible for:
• Ensuring their use of the Service complies with the terms of service of source platforms (including but not limited to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest);
• Respecting any applicable copyright protections in original creative content;
• Obtaining necessary permissions or licenses when importing content that may be protected by copyright;
• Understanding that while factual recipes are not copyrightable, the specific presentation, photography, and creative elements of recipes may be protected.
This section is provided for informational purposes to help users understand the legal principles governing recipe content. It does not constitute legal advice, and users should consult with qualified legal counsel if they have specific questions about copyright law as it applies to their use of the Service.
No Legal Advice
The information on this page is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. We cannot provide legal advice regarding copyright matters. If you have questions about copyright law or DMCA procedures, please consult with a qualified attorney.
Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to modify this DMCA Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to this page. Your continued use of the Service following any changes indicates your acceptance of the modified policy.
