HB Technologies LLCrespects the intellectual property of others and expects users of friendswith.ai (the “Service”) to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. §512.

1. Notice of claimed infringement

If you believe that material available on the Service infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a written notice of infringement (a “DMCA Notice”) to our designated agent identified below. To be effective, the DMCA Notice must include all of the following:

• a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works);
• identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (URLs are ideal);
• your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Note:under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

2. Designated agent

Send DMCA Notices to:

HB Technologies LLC
Attn: DMCA Designated Agent
c/o Registered Agent (available on request)
New York, New York, USA
Email: dmca@friendswith.ai

We will not act on notices that do not substantially comply with all of the requirements above. Email is the fastest channel; please use it where possible.

3. Counter-notice

If you believe that material you posted was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our designated agent. To be effective, a counter-notice must include:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the material that has been removed and the location at which it appeared before removal;
• a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or that person’s agent.

We may forward your counter-notice to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file an action seeking a court order against you within 10 to 14 business days, we may restore the removed material at our discretion.

4. Repeat-infringer policy

It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and in our sole discretion, to disable accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also limit access to the Service or terminate accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual-property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeated infringement.

5. False claims

Submitting a false DMCA Notice or counter-notice is a serious matter and may give rise to liability under 17 U.S.C. §512(f). Please be sure of your claim and contact a lawyer if you are unsure.

6. Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the latest revision.
