1. Third-party footage

WT Central does not claim ownership of third-party video footage, livestream footage, broadcast footage, event recordings, tournament videos, athlete images, event logos, federation materials, or other content owned by third parties.

Many full fight videos shown, linked, embedded, indexed, referenced, or organized by WT Central may come from YouTube, livestreams, event broadcasts, tournament organizers, federations, teams, media channels, or other source platforms. Copyright in those videos and materials remains with the original rights holders.

2. Videos hosted on third-party platforms

Where WT Central links to or embeds videos from YouTube or other platforms, the original video remains hosted by the third-party platform or uploader. WT Central does not control YouTube, livestream platforms, broadcasters, event organizers, or third-party uploaders.

If a video is removed, made private, restricted, blocked, monetized, claimed, or changed by the original platform or rights holder, WT Central may not be able to control or restore it. Removing a link from WT Central does not remove the original video from the internet.

3. Videos uploaded or edited by WT Central

In some cases, WT Central may upload, edit, trim, organize, timestamp, title, thumbnail, or compile taekwondo fight footage for archive, discovery, educational, historical, or sports media purposes.

WT Central does not claim ownership of underlying third-party footage simply because it has been uploaded, edited, indexed, timestamped, or organized by WT Central.

4. Credits and source attribution

WT Central aims to credit original sources where reasonably possible. Source credit may include:

  • Original YouTube channels, livestream providers, media channels, or other public sources.
  • Tournament organizers, federations, event pages, public documents, and official materials.

If you believe a source credit is missing, incorrect, unclear, or should be updated, please contact us and provide the correct source information. WT Central may add, update, or correct credits after review.

5. Drawsheets, brackets, rankings, and public tournament materials

WT Central may collect, organize, display, summarize, redesign, or transform publicly available or publicly accessible taekwondo tournament information, including drawsheets, brackets, match numbers, fighter names, countries or teams, weight divisions, results, placements, rankings, event names, tournament documents, and public source links.

WT Central does not claim ownership of official tournament documents, federation materials, event logos, or third-party documents unless specifically stated. Official results and documents should always be checked with the relevant organizer, federation, or governing body.

6. Copyright removal requests

If you are a copyright owner, authorized representative, broadcaster, event organizer, federation, media company, athlete, coach, or other rights holder and you believe content on WT Central infringes your rights, you can request review or removal.

Please contact us with:

  • Your name or organization, email address, role, or authority.
  • The WT Central page URL and the video URL, source URL, thumbnail, drawsheet, bracket, or content you are concerned about.
  • A description of the copyrighted work and your concern.
  • The action you are requesting, such as removal, credit correction, source update, link removal, thumbnail removal, or metadata correction.

WT Central will review copyright requests in good faith and may remove, disable, correct, credit, update, or limit content where appropriate.

7. Privacy, minors, and sensitive content

WT Central may include publicly available information about athletes, including names, countries, teams, divisions, results, rankings, videos, brackets, and tournament appearances.

If you believe content involving a minor, athlete, team, or private individual should be reviewed for privacy, safety, accuracy, or sensitivity reasons, please contact us. WT Central may remove, limit, correct, or update content where appropriate.

8. Corrections

WT Central tries to keep its archive accurate, but mistakes can happen. You may request corrections for:

  • Fighter names, countries or teams, divisions, event names, match numbers, results, rankings, and placements.
  • Timestamps, source credits, video links, thumbnails, drawsheets, brackets, and tournament metadata.

Please include enough information for us to understand and verify the correction.

9. No ownership claim over third-party materials

Unless specifically stated, WT Central does not claim ownership of:

  • Full fight footage, livestream footage, broadcast footage, YouTube videos, event recordings, or third-party thumbnails.
  • Tournament logos, federation logos, athlete images, event photos, official drawsheets, official rankings, or official results documents.

WT Central's original website design, written text, metadata organization, database structure, custom UI, page layouts, and branding remain the property of WT Central unless otherwise stated.

10. Good-faith archive purpose

WT Central exists to make taekwondo easier to follow, search, study, and preserve. The archive is intended for sports media, research, education, athlete discovery, coaching reference, fan access, tournament history, and public interest in taekwondo.

WT Central does not intend to misrepresent ownership of third-party content, replace official sources, or harm rights holders. If you are a rights holder and have a concern, please contact us so we can review it.
