Introduction and General Principles
This Copyright Policy (hereinafter referred to as the "Policy") outlines the position of yFlix, accessible at https://yflix.pl (hereinafter referred to as the "Website," "we," "us," or "our"), regarding intellectual property rights, copyright protection, and the procedures for reporting alleged copyright infringement. yFlix is committed to respecting and protecting the intellectual property rights of content creators, copyright holders, and all other parties with legitimate proprietary interests in creative works. We expect all users of our Website to share this commitment and to respect the intellectual property rights of others.
This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Legal Notices, which provide additional information about the operation of our Website and the rights and responsibilities of users. By using this Website, you agree to comply with this Copyright Policy and all applicable copyright laws and regulations.
Nature of the Website and Content Hosting
It is essential for all users, visitors, and rights holders to understand the nature and scope of services provided by yFlix. This Website operates exclusively as an informational, editorial, and affiliate marketing platform dedicated to presenting content about films, television series, streaming services, and the entertainment industry. Our primary function is to provide textual information, descriptions, synopses, reviews, recommendations, and editorial commentary about audiovisual works and streaming services, as well as to direct users to external platforms where they may access streaming content through affiliate links.
yFlix expressly does not host, store, cache, buffer, transmit, stream, distribute, reproduce, publicly perform, publicly display, upload, download, or otherwise make available any audiovisual content, including but not limited to films, television series, episodes, documentaries, animations, music videos, or any other form of video or audio content. We do not operate any servers, content delivery networks, media players, or any other infrastructure designed for the storage or transmission of audiovisual files. We do not maintain any database of video files, torrent files, magnet links, streaming links, or any other references to infringing content.
All audiovisual content that users may ultimately access is hosted, provided, and distributed exclusively by third-party services and platforms to which our Website may direct users through affiliate links. We have no control over, responsibility for, or involvement in the content hosted by these third parties. Any concerns regarding audiovisual content should be directed to the appropriate third-party service that hosts or provides such content.
Materials Present on This Website
The materials present on yFlix consist exclusively of the following categories:
Original Textual Content
We create and publish original textual content including articles, reviews, descriptions, synopses, recommendations, and other editorial materials. This content is created by our team and constitutes original works of authorship owned by or licensed to yFlix. This original content is protected by copyright law, and unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or modification of this content is prohibited.
Promotional and Informational Images
Our Website may display certain images related to the films, television series, and streaming services we discuss. These images may include movie posters, promotional stills, cover art, thumbnails, and similar visual materials. These images are used strictly for informational, educational, and identification purposes to illustrate our editorial content and to help users identify the works being discussed. Our use of such images is made in good faith reliance on principles of fair use, fair dealing, and the right of quotation as recognized under applicable copyright laws.
We believe our use of promotional images constitutes fair use because: the images are used for informational, educational, and commentary purposes, not commercial exploitation of the images themselves; the images are typically reduced in size and resolution from their original form; our use does not substitute for or supersede the original purpose of the images, which is to promote the underlying works; our use actually supports the promotion of the underlying works by increasing awareness and interest among potential viewers; and we do not claim ownership of these images and acknowledge the rights of the respective copyright holders.
Trademarks and Logos
Our Website may display trademarks, service marks, trade names, and logos belonging to various streaming services, production companies, studios, and other entities discussed in our content. These marks are used solely for identification and informational purposes, to help users understand which services and products are being discussed. Our use of these marks does not imply any affiliation with, endorsement by, or sponsorship from the respective trademark owners, unless expressly stated otherwise.
Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringement
Despite the fact that yFlix does not host any audiovisual content, we take allegations of copyright infringement seriously and have established the following procedure for reporting any content on our Website that you believe infringes your copyright.
If you are a copyright owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner, and you believe that any content present on this Website infringes your copyrighted work, you may submit a notification of claimed infringement (a "Takedown Notice") to our designated agent. To be effective, your Takedown Notice must be in writing and must include the following information:
A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, you may provide a representative list of such works.
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. You must provide information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, including the specific URL(s) where the allegedly infringing material appears.
Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
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.
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 owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Please send your Takedown Notice to our designated agent via our Contact Us page, clearly indicating "Copyright Infringement Notice" or "DMCA Takedown Request" in the subject line.
Our Response to Valid Takedown Notices
Upon receipt of a valid Takedown Notice that complies with the requirements set forth above, we will take the following steps:
We will promptly review the notification to determine whether it is complete and meets the requirements set forth in this Policy and applicable law.
If the notification is incomplete or deficient, we may request additional information or clarification from the complaining party before taking action.
If we determine that the notification is valid and that the identified material appears on our Website, we will investigate the matter and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material.
We will notify the user or content provider, if any, responsible for the allegedly infringing material of the notification and our actions.
We will maintain records of notifications received and actions taken in response thereto.
Please note that because yFlix does not host audiovisual content, the vast majority of copyright complaints related to films, television series, or other video content should be directed to the third-party services that actually host such content. If your complaint relates to content that appears on a third-party website to which our Website links, you should direct your complaint to that third-party website.
Counter-Notification Procedure
If you believe that material you posted on our Website was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent. Your counter-notification must be in writing and must include the following information:
Your physical or electronic signature.
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.
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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in your jurisdiction and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of such person.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward a copy to the original complaining party and inform them that we may restore the removed material or cease disabling it within ten to fourteen business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against you, we may restore the material within the timeframe specified by applicable law.
Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with applicable law and our commitment to protecting copyright, we maintain a policy of terminating the access of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright. We reserve the right to terminate access for any user who has been the subject of multiple valid takedown notices, regardless of whether the user has submitted counter-notifications.

Our use of promotional images and other materials is intended solely to provide informational content to our users and to support the promotion and discovery of films, television series, and streaming services.
