DMCA Takedown Policy

Overview

Rootz respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. We are committed to responding to valid DMCA takedown notices in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable copyright laws.

While we cannot prevent all users from uploading copyrighted content, we take copyright infringement seriously and will promptly remove files when we receive a valid takedown request.
