DMCA & Copyright Policy

BorealTV respects the intellectual property rights of content creators and rights holders. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and with the equivalent copyright legislation applicable in Canada, including the Copyright Act and its notice-and-notice regime. This policy explains our procedures for addressing copyright infringement claims.

1. Our content licensing position

BorealTV 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 are sourced from licensed content providers and distributors. We are committed to ensuring our operations respect applicable copyright laws in Canada and internationally.

2. Reporting copyright infringement (takedown notice)

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent and believe that content accessible through https://borealtv.ca infringes your copyright, you may submit a written takedown notice to our designated agent.

Your notice must include ALL of the following

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work — a description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered, a representative list is acceptable.
  2. Identification of the infringing material — the specific URL(s) or sufficient information to locate the allegedly infringing content.
  3. Your contact information — full name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
  4. Good faith statement — a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  5. Accuracy statement — a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
  6. Signature — your physical or electronic signature.

Submit your notice to

Email: [email protected]
Subject line: DMCA Takedown Notice — borealtv.ca
Post: BorealTV, Designated Copyright Agent, 200 Elgin Street, Suite 410, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L5, Canada

We acknowledge receipt of valid notices within 5 business days and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content and notifying the relevant content provider.

3. Counter-notification

If you believe that content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to [email protected].

Your counter-notice must include

  1. Identification of the removed content — description and URL(s) of the material removed or disabled, and its location before removal.
  2. Statement under penalty of perjury — that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  3. Your contact information — full name, address, telephone number and email address.
  4. Consent to jurisdiction — a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario, Canada, and that you will accept service of process from the party who submitted the original takedown notice.
  5. Signature — your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification we forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within 10 to 14 business days, we may restore the content at our discretion.

4. Repeat infringer policy

BorealTV maintains a strict policy regarding repeat infringers. In accordance with the DMCA and applicable Canadian law:

  • Accounts that are the subject of multiple valid copyright infringement notices will be reviewed.
  • BorealTV reserves the right to terminate subscriptions of users determined to be repeat infringers.
  • Termination for repeat infringement does not entitle the user to a refund under our refund policy.

Account sharing, redistribution and re-streaming are also prohibited under our terms of service and carry the same consequence.

5. Misuse of the DMCA process

Filing a false takedown notice is a serious legal matter. Under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)) and equivalent Canadian provisions, any person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees.
