DMCA & Copyright Policy

Last updated: April 2026

TrustHub respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), we will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed on or through TrustHub.

1. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that content on TrustHub infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. Your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including the URL or other specific location on TrustHub where the material can be found. Please be as specific as possible.
4. Your contact information, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

2. What Happens After We Receive a Notice

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, TrustHub will:

• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material promptly.
• Notify the user who posted the content that it has been removed and provide a copy of the takedown notice.
• Record the incident for our repeat infringer policy.

3. Counter-Notice

If you believe your content was removed in error or that you have authorization to use the material, you may submit a counter-notice. Your counter-notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. 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.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or their agent.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, TrustHub will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within 10 business days, we will restore the removed content.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

TrustHub maintains a repeat infringer policy. Users who are the subject of three or more valid DMCA takedown notices will have their accounts permanently terminated. Because TrustHub uses identity verification, account termination is tied to the verified identity — a terminated user may not re-register under the same or a different identity.

5. Good Faith

Please be aware that filing a false DMCA notice or counter-notice may result in legal liability. Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. We encourage you to consult with an attorney before filing a notice if you are unsure whether your copyright has been infringed.

6. Content Posted by Verified Users

All content on TrustHub is posted by users who have been verified with government-issued identification or by their authorized agents. This means copyright holders can be confident that the identity of the person who posted allegedly infringing content is known and verifiable, which supports effective enforcement of intellectual property rights.
