Warning: Under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages.

B. Responding to Removals (Counter-Notice Policy)

If an Artist believes that their content was removed or disabled 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, you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorney’s fees).

Required Information for a Counter-Notice

The counter-notice must be submitted to the Designated DMCA Agent and include the following information, pursuant to Section 512(g)(3) of the DMCA:

  1. Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the Artist/User.

  2. Identification of Material: Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location (URL) at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.

  4. Contact and Jurisdiction Consent: The Artist/User's name, address, telephone number, and a statement that the Artist/User consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located (or if the address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which HellaPrints may be found), and that the Artist/User will accept service of process from the person who provided the original Takedown Notice.

Counter-Notice Processing

Once a proper counter-notice is received, HellaPrints will promptly forward a copy to the original complaining party. HellaPrints will then wait 10 to 14 business days. As per DMCA requirements:

  • If the intellectual property owner initiates a court action seeking a court order against the alleged infringer during that time, the material will remain disabled.

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

C. Repeat Intellectual Property Complaint Policy

HellaPrints will terminate the rights of users and account holders in appropriate circumstances if they are determined to be Repeat Infringers of copyright or other intellectual property rights.

HellaPrints reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate any account that violates the spirit of these Terms of Service or consistently infringes upon the rights of others, regardless of the number of prior warnings.

Thank you for paying attention to these requirements.
