1) Overview & Scope

Cloudzor is a hosting and delivery platform for legitimate content. We prohibit illegal materials and policy violations and act quickly when we detect them or receive credible reports.

2) Why our enforcement is strict

  • Harm reduction: Illegal files endanger users and partners.
  • Creator rights: Piracy deprives authors of revenue and undermines ecosystems.
  • Legal obligations: Hosts must respond expeditiously to notices and court orders.

4) Definitions

  • Illegal content: Materials whose possession, distribution, or access is unlawful.
  • Infringing content: Works uploaded without authorization from the rights holder.
  • Notice: A report from a rights holder or authorized agent identifying specific material.

5) Prohibited content

  • Copyright-infringing files without authorization or license.
  • Malware, exploits, or files designed to exfiltrate data or cause harm.
  • Content illegal under applicable law or violating court orders.

6) Detection & screening

  • Automated screening: Hash/fingerprint checks against blocklists.
  • Heuristics & signals: File-type validation, structure analysis, metadata patterns.
  • User reports: Prioritized manual review when detailed evidence is provided.

9) Takedown notices (how to report)

Rights holders and users can report abuse at /abuse. Include direct URLs or file IDs, a description of the work, legal basis, and a statement of good faith.

  • Exact URLs/file IDs (no generic search queries).
  • Proof of ownership or authorization (for IP claims).
  • Jurisdiction/legal basis (e.g., DMCA §512, EU/Swiss law).

10) Counter-notice & appeals

If you believe a removal was erroneous, submit a counter-notice at /appeal with file/URL, case ID (if any), your role, and reasoning (license, authorization, fair use or other legal basis).

14) User responsibilities

  • Only upload content you own or are authorized to distribute.
  • Respect third-party licenses, trademarks, and publicity/privacy rights.
