INFORMATION FOR RIGHTSHOLDERS AND INFRINGEMENT NOTIFICATION

If you believe that any material available on or through the Services infringes upon any copyright you own or control, please immediately notify us using info@hyble.co with “Copyright Notification” in the subject line (a “Notification”). A copy of your Notification will be sent to the person who posted or stored the material addressed in the Notification.

In accordance with applicable intellectual property law, your Notification must include substantially the following:

• your physical or electronic signature;

• identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed;

• identification of the material that you believe is infringing the copyright in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate the material;

IDENTIFYING REPEAT INFRINGERS

We are committed to identifying and addressing users who repeatedly infringe upon the copyrights of others. We will, in compliance with Copyright Law, and this policy, promptly terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers.

COMPLAINTS AND NOTICES

If you believe that copyright accessible through our Services belongs to you and that your Intellectual Property Rights have been infringed, please refer to the above notification section and follow the instructions to submit a formal notification. We take all notices seriously and will investigate all alleged infringements and, if necessary, take appropriate actions, including removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material and, if appropriate, terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

INVESTIGATING REPEAT INFRINGEMENT

In determining repeat infringement, we will assess whether a user is a repeat infringer based on the following criteria:

• The number of valid notifications received against the user's account;

• The severity and nature of the alleged infringement; and

• Any actions taken by the user to address the alleged infringements.

NOTIFICATION AND TERMINATION

If the user is determined to be a repeat infringer, they will receive a written notification outlining the findings of our investigation and informing them of the infringing activity.

The user will be given an opportunity to provide a counter-notification explaining why the challenged material is non-infringing, if they believe the determination is incorrect

If the user fails to provide a valid counter-notification or if the counter-notification is rejected, we will terminate the user's account and take the appropriate measures to prevent further access to our Services.

APPEALS

Users whose accounts have been terminated due to repeat infringement have the right to appeal the decision. We will attempt to address the appeal according to our discretion, which may include the coordination of a discussion between the person filing a notification and the user providing the counter-notification, with a goal of resolving the controversy informally.
