Dispute text, from the creator’s facts

I used 8 seconds of the trailer while I talked about the cut. The rest of the video is my voice. I am asking for the claim to be released on that basis.

Three steps

How it works

Step 1

Free check

About two minutes. No card. You get a first look, such as “this looks worth a closer look.”

Step 2

Pay $9

Paste the claim from YouTube Studio and answer in your own words. You pay before we run the full check.

Step 3

Verdict

Yes, maybe, or don’t dispute. The rules are fixed. Weak facts get a no. We email a copy and keep a private link.

The risk

What can go wrong

A dispute asks the claimant to look again. They can say no and send a takedown. A takedown can put a copyright strike on your channel. Three strikes in 90 days can close it. If your facts are weak, we will say don’t dispute.

Questions

Is a Content ID claim a strike?

No. A claim is a match found by software. A strike comes from a takedown and can hurt the channel. A dispute can still lead to a takedown, so the risk is real.

Do you log in to my YouTube account?

No. We never ask for your password. Claim data is not available to normal channels through YouTube’s public API, so you paste the details yourself.

Is this legal advice?

No. We are not lawyers and not a law firm. We are not part of YouTube or Google. The verdict is software. It cannot promise a win.

When do I pay?

The first look is free. The full check is $9, paid up front with Stripe. We run the paid check only after payment. There is no later charge.

What if you say don’t dispute?

You still get the reasons, and we do not write a dispute. If you are unhappy within 7 days, email us for a refund.
