DMCA & copyright policy
SonicTV respects the intellectual property rights of content creators and rights holders, and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and the equivalent copyright legislation applicable in Canada.
1. Our content licensing position
SonicTV operates as a lawful reseller of IPTV subscription services and does not host, store or originate the content delivered through the service. All channels and video-on-demand content — including everything shown on our channel list — are sourced from licensed content providers and distributors. We are committed to ensuring our operations respect applicable copyright law.
Subscribers receive a personal, non-commercial viewing licence only. Re-streaming, public display and credential sharing are prohibited under our Terms of Service, and accounts found doing so are closed without refund.
2. Reporting copyright infringement (takedown notice)
If you are a copyright owner or an authorised agent and believe that content accessible through https://sonictv.ca infringes your copyright, you may send a written takedown notice to our designated agent.
Your notice must include all of the following
- Identification of the copyrighted work — a description of the work you claim has been infringed. A representative list is acceptable where several works are covered.
- Identification of the infringing material — the specific URL(s) or enough information to locate the allegedly infringing content on https://sonictv.ca.
- Your contact information — full name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
- Good faith statement — a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
- Accuracy statement — a statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act for the copyright owner.
- Signature — your physical or electronic signature.
Where to send it
Email: [email protected] — subject line: DMCA Takedown Notice — sonictv.ca.
We acknowledge valid notices within 5 business days and take appropriate action, which may include disabling access to the material and notifying the relevant content provider.
3. Counter-notification
If you believe material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notification to [email protected].
- Identification of the removed content — description, URL(s) and its location before removal.
- Statement under penalty of perjury — that you believe in good faith the material was removed through mistake or misidentification.
- Your contact information — full name, address, telephone number and email address.
- Consent to jurisdiction — that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of Canada and will accept service of process from the complainant.
- Signature — your physical or electronic signature.
On receipt of a valid counter-notification we forward it to the original complainant. If no court action is filed within 10 to 14 business days we may restore the content at our discretion.
4. Repeat infringer policy
- Accounts subject to multiple valid infringement notices are reviewed.
- SonicTV reserves the right to terminate subscriptions belonging to repeat infringers.
- Termination for repeat infringement does not entitle the subscriber to a refund.
5. Misuse of the DMCA process
Filing a false takedown notice is a serious matter. Under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)) and equivalent Canadian provisions, anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees.
