1. Scope
xl.gl respects copyright and does not permit knowing use of the Service to facilitate infringement. This Policy explains how copyright owners and their authorized representatives can report Short Links, and how Publishers can challenge copyright restrictions. It supplements our Terms of Service.
Our link-shortening service directs Visitors to external Destinations. We can disable a Short Link under our control, but are not capable of removing material from an independently operated Destination, such as a file host. You may also contact that site's operator or hosting provider.
2. Sending a copyright notice
Submit a notice through xl.gl/report, selecting copyright, or send a written notice to support+finiara@xl.gl or the postal contact in section 7. A notice should include substantially the following:
1. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe is infringed. For multiple works at a single online site, a representative list may be provided.
2. The specific Short Links to be disabled and enough information to identify the infringing material or activity to which they lead. Explain which work corresponds to which link where that is not clear.
3. Contact information sufficient to reach you, including your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address if available.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the complained-of use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
5. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.
An original-work URL, publication details or other supporting evidence can help, but a work need not be online or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office to be reported. Consider permission and applicable exceptions, including fair use, before alleging infringement. A general assertion that an entire category of sites infringes is not a substitute for identifying the affected links and work.
The form's batch limit does not prevent sending a larger, clearly organized notice by email. Use ordinary abuse reporting for malware, phishing, spam or other concerns that do not involve copyright.
3. Review and link restrictions
We review notices and act expeditiously to disable affected links where an effective notice, sufficient knowledge or another appropriate legal basis supports action. If a substantially compliant notice is missing required information, we will seek clarification or take reasonable steps to help complete it. We may ask for information needed to assess a claim; we do not require a court order for every copyright takedown.
We take reasonable steps to notify the affected Publisher promptly when its link is disabled for copyright. A restriction does not itself constitute a legal determination of infringement. We may preserve the notice, relevant link information and review records, and act on infringement established independently of a formal notice.
4. Appeals and counter-notices
If you believe a link was disabled incorrectly, contact support+finiara@xl.gl, identify the Short Link and any report reference, and explain the mistake or your authority to use the material. An ordinary appeal is not necessarily a formal DMCA counter-notice.
For a formal counter-notice seeking restoration after mistake or misidentification, provide:
1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material or link disabled and its location before disabling.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material or link was disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address and telephone number.
5. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district where your address is located; if your address is outside the United States, consent to any judicial district in which the service provider may be found. You must also state that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the notice or that person's agent.
An email address and report reference help us process the counter-notice. Send it to the copyright contact in section 7. We will forward a compliant counter-notice to the original complainant and inform them of the intended restoration after 10 business days. For removals handled through this formal process, we will restore access no earlier than 10 and no later than 14 applicable business days after receipt, unless our copyright agent first receives notice that the complainant has filed an action seeking a court order restraining the relevant infringement.
A separate, supported restriction, such as malware or another violation, may continue independently of the copyright claim. We will explain any such basis to the Publisher where legally permitted. Any mandatory statutory procedure or deadline controls over conflicting general provisions in our Terms. Sending a counter-notice involves legal declarations and disclosure of your contact information to the complainant.
5. Repeat infringement
We maintain a policy of terminating repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. We assess substantiated incidents, their seriousness, responses and relevant appeals; there is no automatic termination solely because a particular number of complaints was submitted. Removing an earlier link does not prevent repeated infringement from supporting account action.
Duplicate or unsubstantiated complaints do not automatically create additional strikes. We reconsider copyright strikes where a notice is withdrawn, a challenge establishes an error or other evidence warrants correction. Serious infringement or deliberate attempts to evade restrictions may justify immediate action under the Terms. We accommodate, and do not interfere with, qualifying standard technical measures as required by applicable law.
6. Misrepresentations and information handling
Knowingly materially misrepresenting infringement, or mistake or misidentification in a counter-notice, can create liability under applicable law, including section 512(f) of the U.S. Copyright Act. Do not use copyright reporting to suppress material merely because it is objectionable or to pursue unrelated disputes.
We process notices, contact details, supporting information and relevant technical records to investigate claims, communicate decisions and meet legal obligations. Relevant information may be shared with Finiara LLC, affected Publishers, complainants, advisers or authorities as appropriate. Counter-notices are forwarded to the complainant. Do not assume a notice or counter-notice is confidential. Our Privacy Policy explains retention and applicable rights.
