YAPILAPIOnly share what you made or have permission to share. If you think something on YAPILAPI uses your work without permission, tell us and we will look at it quickly. You don’t need an account. If you have one, you can also use Report in the app and choose “Uses my work without permission”.
How to send a takedown notice
Email [copyright email address] or write to our copyright agent at [Company legal name], [Registered address]. [U.S. designated copyright agent, if you serve the United States.] Include:
- Your name, postal address, phone number and email address.
- The work you own, or a link to it.
- The link to each post, reel, story, profile, product, drop or other page on YAPILAPI that you want removed.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by you, your agent or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or allowed to act for the owner.
- Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is enough).
Sending a notice you know is false can make you liable for damages.
What happens next
We remove or disable the content, and tell the person who posted it, with a copy of your notice (we may remove your phone number and address).
Music
Music in the music picker comes from sources that license it for use on YAPILAPI: sounds people made here, Creative Commons music from Jamendo (only licences that allow it to be set to a video or photo; non-commercial ones only for personal accounts), and a licensing partner when one is connected. Each song shows the credit its licence asks for. We don’t copy or host the audio of catalogue songs: it plays from its source. If you think a song there is not licensed, tell us and we will check the licence with its provider. When a song is withdrawn or its licence ends, posts, stories and profiles that use it stay up but play without it.
If your content was removed
If you think it was a mistake or you have permission, send a counter-notice to [copyright email address] with: your name, address, phone number and email; the content that was removed and where it was; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your consent to the jurisdiction of the courts [Counter-notice court jurisdiction] and to accept legal papers from the person who sent the notice; and your signature. Unless the person who sent the notice tells us within 10 to 14 business days that they have gone to court, we may put the content back.
Repeat infringement
We end the accounts of people who repeatedly share content that infringes others’ rights.
Trademarks and other rights
For trademarks, impersonation or privacy, write to [copyright email address] with the same details, or use Report in the app. See also the Community guidelines.
