DMCA & Broadcast Copyright Policy

Our commitment to copyright and media rights

Trequa respects the intellectual property rights of sports broadcasters, leagues, football federations, and content creators. Touchline360 (including Debrief and Kickoff Pulse) is engineered for coaching, player performance analysis, and tactical review.

Under our Terms of Service, subscribers may only upload match footage, broadcast feeds, and training video for which they hold the necessary recording rights, tactical analysis licenses, or competition authorization. Uploading pirated commercial broadcasts or unlicensed television streams without appropriate rights is strictly prohibited.

Safe harbor and notice-and-takedown

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512, “DMCA”), the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation 2022/2065), and the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, Trequa maintains an expedited notice-and-takedown procedure for copyright owners whose protected works appear on our platform without authorization.

Designated Copyright Agent

All notices of claimed copyright infringement should be sent to our Designated Copyright Agent:

• Attn: Copyright & Rights Compliance Officer
• Entity: Trequa
• Email: dmca@touchline360.com (or via our contact form)
• Subject line: DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice - [Match / Work Title]

Filing a formal takedown notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notification must be a written communication that includes substantially the following:

1. 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 the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g., official broadcast feed, competition footage, specific televised fixture).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit Trequa to locate the material (including specific URLs, tenant team identifiers, or match debrief references).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
5. 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 (such as fair use).
6. 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.

Action upon receipt and counter-notification

Upon receipt of a valid and complete DMCA notice, Trequa will expeditiously remove or disable access to the infringing video or derived tactical assets and promptly notify the subscriber who uploaded the content.

If the subscriber believes the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification (for example, holding a valid league tactical analysis feed license), they may submit a Counter-Notification to our Copyright Agent containing:

• The subscriber’s physical or electronic signature and contact details.
• Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Consent to the jurisdiction of the federal or national courts having jurisdiction over the subscriber’s address or Trequa’s corporate domicile.

If a valid Counter-Notification is received, Trequa will forward it to the original complaining party. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the subscriber within ten to fourteen (10–14) business days, we may restore access to the material.

Repeat infringer policy

In accordance with the DMCA and applicable international law, Trequa has adopted a strict repeat infringer policy. We will terminate access to the service for any subscriber or organization determined to be a repeat infringer of intellectual property rights.
