DMCA Policy

HabShare’s DMCA agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. All notices must be sent to:

Email is the preferred method for submitting notices. All notices must comply with the requirements in Section 2 below.

To submit a valid DMCA takedown notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your written communication must include all of the following elements:

• Identification of the copyrighted work - a description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are at issue.
• Identification of the infringing material - the URL(s) or sufficiently specific description of the content on HabShare you believe infringes your copyright, so we can locate it.
• Your contact information - your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• Good faith statement - a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• Accuracy statement - a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
• Physical or electronic signature - your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is sufficient).

We will process valid notices promptly. Incomplete or legally deficient notices may be disregarded without response.

If your content was removed in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was erroneous or resulted from misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3).

Your counter-notification must include:

• Identification of removed material - a description of the material that was removed and its former URL.
• Statement under penalty of perjury - a statement that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
• Your contact information - your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
• Consent to jurisdiction - a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your district (or if outside the US, any judicial district where HabShare may be found), and agreeing to accept service of process from the original complainant.
• Physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a lawsuit within 10–14 business days, we may restore the removed content at our discretion.

HabShare maintains a repeat infringer policy in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i). Users who are the subject of multiple valid DMCA notices will have their accounts suspended or permanently terminated.

We reserve the right to terminate access for any user whose account is associated with repeated copyright infringement, even before a formal threshold is reached, at our sole discretion.

Submitting a materially false DMCA takedown notice or counter-notification is a federal offense. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney fees.

Before submitting a notice, please ensure you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on their behalf, and that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized.
