Safe harbour, explained

For hosting, the relevant conditions depend on the law and service type. A provider's policy should explain the process it follows, rather than treating a label as universal protection.

Protection is conditional and does not establish that all hosted content is lawful.

A file-storage service assesses whether a liability limitation covers its activity. This concerns the service’s duties; it does not license an uploader to publish somebody else’s work or ensure disputed material stays online.

• Identify the jurisdiction, activity and applicable conditions.
• Document reports, repeat-infringement handling and required responses.
