When you share or contribute content on Streamable, you must ensure that you have the right to do so. In general terms, the easiest way to avoid issues is to create the content yourself. Streamable respects the intellectual property rights of others, including trademark, copyright and other legal rights, and expects our users to do the same. Users should also be aware that they may use copyrighted works and related materials under exceptions or limitations to copyright, such as fair use in the United States or enumerated exceptions under the laws of the European Union. Be aware that these types of exceptions do not apply to attempts to share content like copies of movies, television shows or songs, which will be considered copyright violations by Hopin.

Trademark: We do not allow any attempt to create confusion regarding the source of goods or services in violation of another’s trademark rights. If you wish to report infringement of your trademark on our platform, please complete this form.

Copyright Infringement: We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice, dispute and takedown requirements and will respond promptly to valid notices with appropriate action, which can include removal of the reported content.

DMCA Copyright Notices: If you believe that you have identified instances of copyright infringement on Streamable, you or someone you have authorized to act on your behalf may report them to us by sending the information below to our designated agent:

 

  • The copyrighted works that you believe have been infringed;
  • The content you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity) and information that will allow us to locate it;
  • Your mailing address, telephone number and, if available, email address;
  • The following two statements:
  • “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”; and
  • Your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature.

 

Deliver the notice to Hopin’s designated agent at:

 

StreamYard, Inc

169 Madison Ave, Ste 11218

New York, NY 10016

 

Please note that this information may be provided, in good faith, by Hopin to the user who has committed the alleged infringement to allow them to submit a counter-notice.

 

DMCA Copyright Counter-Notices: If content you have shared is removed because of a report submitted to our designated agent, you can engage directly with the rights-owner to attempt to resolve the issue.  You may also submit a written notification to Hopin’s designated agent (see above), containing the information below, if you believe the content was removed by mistake or because of misidentification:

 

  • Your physical or electronic signature;
  • Identification of the material removed or to which access has been disabled;
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that removal or disablement of the material was a mistake or that the material was misidentified; and
  • Your full name, your email address, your mailing address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District court (i) in the judicial district where your address is located if the address is in the United States, or (ii) located in California, if your address is located outside the United States, and that you will accept service of process from the party who submitted the notice or their authorized agent.

 

The DMCA allows Hopin to restore content that has been removed if the party filing the original DMCA notice does not file a court action against the party who filed the counter-notice within ten business days of receiving the copy of the counter-notice.

 

Users should understand that there are significant legal and financial repercussions for submission of false notices and counter-notices. You may wish to obtain legal advice before engaging the DMCA notice or counter-notice process.

 

Repeat Copyright Infringement: We will terminate accounts of those users who repeatedly infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Typically, this occurs where the user has received 3 strikes under the DMCA, with a strike being applied each time we remove content based under a valid DMCA notice. However, we may bundle a group of removals as a single strike, reverse strikes for valid counter-notices that lead to content being restored on our platforms, or terminate accounts for with fewer than 3 strikes based on other violations of these Community Guidelines or our Terms of Service.
