DMCA / Copyright Policy

TemplateHub hosts user-uploaded commercial digital goods. We respect intellectual property rights and expect sellers to upload only content they have rights to sell under the Seller Terms.

This DMCA / Copyright Policy describes how copyright owners can send infringement notices, how sellers may respond with counter-notices, and how repeat infringement is handled.

This page is a content draft for a U.S.-style notice-and-takedown process adapted to TemplateHub’s marketplace. It is not legal advice. Formal designated-agent registration and final counsel wording remain Requires Business Input / TBD before this policy is treated as a binding statutory DMCA agent designation.

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized agent) and you believe a listing, preview, or downloadable package on TemplateHub infringes your copyright, you may submit a copyright notice as described in Section 3.

On receiving a complete notice, TemplateHub will review it and may remove or disable access to the reportedly infringing material, and may notify the seller who posted it.

Sellers who believe material was removed in error may submit a counter-notification (Section 6). Abusive or knowingly false notices are prohibited (Section 8).

This process addresses copyright. Trademark concerns are summarized in Section 9. Other legal demands may require different handling.

To help us act efficiently, include at least the following in your notice (aligned with typical DMCA notice elements; final statutory checklist subject to counsel):

Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or a representative list if multiple works).

Identification of the material on TemplateHub that is claimed to be infringing, with enough detail to locate it (product URL/slug, product name, seller name if known, and description of the file or preview).

Your contact information: 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 that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name may suffice for electronic submission once the intake channel is published).

Send the notice to the designated agent contact in Section 4. Incomplete notices may be rejected or delayed.

Designated copyright agent for TemplateHub:

Agent name: TBD / Requires Business Input.

Agent email: TBD / Requires Business Input.

Agent mailing address: TBD / Requires Business Input.

Legal entity name on whose behalf the agent acts: TBD / Requires Business Input.

Until these details are published, do not assume a statutory DMCA agent has been registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. For operational copyright complaints during the draft period, use the Contact surface when available or the support/legal email TemplateHub publishes in site chrome — and mark the subject clearly as "Copyright Notice".

Do not send payment card data or unrelated personal data in copyright notices beyond what is needed to process the complaint.

TemplateHub will review complete notices and may:

Remove or disable access to the product listing, previews, or downloadable package at issue.

Notify the seller of the removal and provide a copy or summary of the notice as appropriate.

Request clarification if the notice is incomplete.

Escalate repeat or severe cases for account suspension under Section 7 and the Seller Terms.

We may refuse to act on notices that are substantially incomplete, abusive, or not copyright-based. We are not obligated to mediate every ownership dispute beyond the notice/counter-notice process described here.

Buyers who already purchased an Item later removed for IP reasons may be handled under the Refund Policy and License Terms on a case-by-case basis; removal alone does not automatically define a refund outcome.

If you are a seller and you believe material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification including:

Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.

A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.

Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.

A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district appropriate to your address (or, if outside the United States, for any judicial district in which TemplateHub may be found — final venue language TBD with governing-law decisions), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.

Your physical or electronic signature.

Send counter-notices to the same designated agent contact in Section 4.

After a valid counter-notice, TemplateHub may restore the material unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the infringement — subject to timing rules counsel will finalize (TBD for exact business-day counts before final publication).

TemplateHub may terminate or suspend seller accounts (and, where appropriate, buyer accounts used to traffic infringing files) that are determined to be repeat infringers.

Factors may include multiple valid takedowns, failure to respond, clear piracy patterns (nulled goods), or court findings. TemplateHub decides repeat-infringer status in good faith based on available records.

Termination may include delisting products, disabling uploads, and restricting payouts subject to lawful outstanding balances and the Seller Terms.

Knowingly materially misrepresenting that material is infringing — or that material was removed by mistake — may create liability for damages under applicable law (including under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) where that statute applies).

Do not use copyright notices to harass competitors over non-copyright disputes (pricing, similar independent designs without copying, contract disputes). Those issues may belong in other forums.

TemplateHub may refuse patterns of abusive notices and may document them for fraud/abuse prevention consistent with the Privacy Policy.

If you believe a listing misuses your trademark (for example brand name in a product title in a confusing way, or logo assets you own), send a trademark complaint with: your mark, registration info if any, the TemplateHub URL, a description of the misuse, and your contact details.

TemplateHub may remove or require renames of listings that clearly misuse third-party marks. Trademark process detail beyond this short section is TBD / may be expanded later.
