The Hubski Terms of Service ("Terms") concern and govern your access to and use of Hubski's websites and services ("Services"), and any information, images, or materials uploaded, downloaded, or appearing on the Services (all referred to as "Content"). Your access to and use of Hubski's Services is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. You must first agree to the Terms in order to use the Services.

By using the Service, you agree not to make available Content that: is threatening, unlawful, abusive, harmful, harassing, or libelous; is harmful to minors; falsely impersonates a person or entity; falsely misrepresents your affiliation with a person or entity; allows use of the Services by others in a way that violates these Terms; infringes patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary rights of any party; makes available Content that you do not have a right to make available due to contractual or fiduciary relationships; includes identifying or personal information about another person without that person's explicit permission.

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any Content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing us with the following information in writing: 1) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; 2) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site; 3) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material; 4) Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail; 5) 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; and 6) A statement that the information in the notification 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.
