DMCA

HellaPrints (operated by HellaPrints LLC) respects the intellectual property rights of others and strictly prohibits users from uploading, selling, or using any content that infringes upon third-party copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, or publicity rights. This policy outlines the procedures for submitting and processing claims of intellectual property infringement in compliance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

1. Intellectual Property Complaint Policy

HellaPrints provides a platform where independent artists create and upload their own designs. We rely on our users to respect the law and the rights of others.

It is HellaPrints' policy to:

  1. Block and remove any content that we believe in good faith to infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties following receipt of a compliant notice.

  2. Terminate service for repeated infringers (Repeat Intellectual Property Complaint Policy).

If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been infringed upon by content sold on the HellaPrints Marketplace, please follow the formal notice procedure below:

Required Information for a Complaint (Takedown Notice)

To be compliant, your notification must be submitted to our designated DMCA Agent and must include the following information:

  1. Signature: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the intellectual property right that is allegedly infringed.

  2. Identification of Content: Identification of the copyrighted work, trademark, or other intellectual property right that allegedly has been infringed, including proof of ownership (such as copies of existing registration certificates, URL links, or other legal documentation).

  3. Location of Infringement: The specific URL(s) to the HellaPrints product page or campaign(s) used in connection with the sale of the allegedly infringing merchandise.

  4. Contact Information: Your full legal name, address, telephone number(s), and email address(es).

  5. Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is unauthorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law.

  6. Accuracy Statement: A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is complete and accurate, and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the intellectual property or other right that is allegedly infringed.

3. Counter-Notice Policy (For HellaPrints Artists/Users)

If an Artist or User believes that a claim of intellectual property infringement was filed by mistake or misidentification, they may file a counter-notice.

Warning: If you materially misrepresent in your counter-notice that your design is not infringing upon the intellectual property, you may be liable for damages to the intellectual property owner (including costs and attorney’s fees). Therefore, if you are unsure whether or not the material infringes on the intellectual property, please contact an attorney before filing the counter-notice.

Required Information for a Counter-Notice

The counter-notice must be submitted to our designated DMCA Agent and must include the following information:

  1. Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

  2. Contact Information: Your full name, address, telephone number(s), and email address(es).

  3. Identification of Material: Identification of the material and its location before it was removed, either by the URL to the HellaPrints campaign(s) or the HellaPrints campaign/product number.

  4. Good Faith Statement: A statement under penalty of perjury that the claim of intellectual property infringement that led to the removal or blockage of access to material was filed by mistake or misidentification.

  5. Consent to Jurisdiction: Your consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court in the district where you live (if you are in the U.S.), or your consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court in the district where your service provider is located (if you are not in the U.S.).

  6. Acceptance of Service: Your consent to accept service of process from the party who submitted the takedown notice or an agent of that party.

Counter-Notice Processing

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, HellaPrints will promptly forward a copy to the complaining party (the party that filed the original Takedown Notice). HellaPrints will then wait 10 to 14 business days.

  • If the intellectual property owner files an action seeking a court order against the Artist during this period, the material will remain down.

  • If no court action is filed, HellaPrints may, at its discretion, replace the removed material or restore access to it 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice.

4. Repeat Intellectual Property Complaint Policy

If HellaPrints receives repeated notices that an Artist/Seller has posted others’ intellectual property without permission, HellaPrints will implement a graduated system for tracking repeat violations.

HellaPrints reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or permanently terminate the account of any user or Artist who is deemed a Repeat Infringer, regardless of the number of strikes, if the content or actions violate the spirit of the Terms of Service or pose significant harm to our advertising ecosystem.
