DMCA Policy

Last updated: July 18, 2023

Hirbox Inc. (“Hirbox”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. Following the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, and specifically per 17 USC § 512(c)(3), Hirbox will respond to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Hirbox service and/or any Hirbox websites (the “Site”) if such claims are reported to Hirbox’s Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement (“Notice”)

If you are a copyright owner, authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Site by completing a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to Hirbox’s Designated Copyright Agent. Upon receipt of Notice as described below, Hirbox will take whatever action it deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including removal of the challenged content from the Site. Please note that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this section and of 17 USC § 512(c)(3), your DMCA notice may not be valid.

Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or – if your Notice covers multiple copyrighted works – you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed.

Identify the material or link you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity) and to which access is to be disabled, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL of the link shown on the Site or the exact location where such material may be found.

Provide your company affiliation (if applicable), mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.

Include both of the following statements in the body of the Notice: “I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use).”

“I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of, the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed.”

Provide your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature. Deliver this Notice, with all items completed, to Hirbox’s Designated Copyright Agent:

Copyright Agent
Hirbox
195, Montague St,

Brooklyn, 11201, United States

DMCA Counter-Notice of Alleged Infringement

If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing or that you have authorization from the copyright holder, the holder’s agent, or pursuant to law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a Counter-Notice containing the following information to Hirbox’s Copyright Agent:

Your physical or electronic signature.

Identification of the content that was removed or to which access has been disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and

Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the federal court jurisdiction in New York, NY, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If the Copyright Agent receives a Counter-Notice, Hirbox may send a copy of the Counter-Notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against Hirbox or the person who has posted allegedly infringing content, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten business days or more after receipt of the Counter-Notice.

Hirbox Policy Regarding Repeat Infringers

Hirbox does not condone or tolerate copyright infringement or any violation of the intellectual property rights of Hirbox or others. Hirbox reserves the right to terminate the access and/or use privileges of any person who has been determined to be a ‘repeat infringer’ of the copyrights of Hirbox or others. Hirbox reserves the right to define the criteria by which Hirbox will determine that a person is a ‘repeat infringer.’ In the event that ‘repeat infringer’ is defined by statute, law, or regulation as applicable to 17 USC § 512, Hirbox will adopt that definition as a minimum standard. Without limiting Hirbox’s right to define ‘repeat infringer,’ as a general rule, Hirbox will define a ‘repeat infringer’ as any person or entity about whom Hirbox has received two or more DMCA Notices of Alleged Infringement. Hirbox will consider all relevant facts and circumstances when determining whether or not the termination of access and/or use privileges of a ‘repeat infringer’ is appropriate.

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER HIRBOX TERMINATES ACCESS AND/OR USE PRIVILEGES OF ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, ‘REPEAT INFRINGER’ OR OTHERWISE, HIRBOX IN NO WAY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY AVAILABLE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY AGAINST COPYRIGHT INFRINGERS OR ANY OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS VIOLATORS, NOR WILL HIRBOX INDEMNIFY OR PROVIDE LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO ANY ALLEGED INFRINGER IN ANY ACTION ARISING FROM THE ALLEGED INFRINGER’S USE OF ANY HIRBOX WEBSITE OR SERVICE, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY DESCRIBED IN THIS NOTICE.
