DMCA Copyright Policy

1. Respect for copyright

SqueHub respects copyright and expects contributors, publishers, partners, and users of SqueHub-operated services to do the same. This policy describes how to report material that you believe infringes copyright and how a person whose material is restricted can respond.

The process is intended to support accurate, good-faith review. It does not determine final ownership, licensing, fair use, public-domain status, or liability; courts and competent authorities make those determinations.

2. Scope of this process

This policy applies to material hosted, published, or controlled by SqueHub through an official service. It may include official website content, documentation, media, Package or Kit listings, and user-submitted material on a future SqueHub-operated hosting service.

SqueHub does not control every repository, website, package, mirror, social account, or application that refers to or uses the framework. If the material exists only on GitHub or another independent provider, send the notice to that provider or publisher. You may copy SqueHub when an official SqueHub page also links to the material, but a link alone does not mean SqueHub hosts or can remove the source.

3. Before submitting a notice

Confirm that:

• you own the copyright or are authorized to act for the owner;
• the identified use is not licensed, authorized, in the public domain, or permitted by an applicable exception or limitation;
• the URL identifies the specific material rather than an entire site or project unnecessarily; and
• your statements and contact information are accurate.

Consider whether quotation, commentary, criticism, interoperability, documentation, security research, or another context may be protected. SqueHub cannot provide legal advice about whether a particular use is lawful.

4. Copyright infringement notice

Send a notice to hello@squehub.com with the subject Copyright notice. A complete notice should include:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers multiple works at one online location;
3. identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient for SqueHub to locate it, including the exact URL and a description of the relevant portion;
4. your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address so the parties can communicate about the notice;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
6. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate; and
7. where the notice is intended to invoke United States DMCA procedures, a statement under penalty of perjury that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.

You may also include the URL of an authorized example, registration information if available, the date you discovered the material, and any information that helps distinguish the protected work from independently created or licensed material.

Do not send a password, private key, unrelated personal data, or an entire confidential work when a bounded example is sufficient. If evidence is sensitive, first request instructions for a secure transfer.

5. Incomplete, duplicate, or abusive notices

SqueHub may request clarification when a notice does not identify the work, material, authority, location, or required statements. Processing can be delayed until enough information is supplied.

We may group duplicate notices, reject spam, and decline demands outside copyright—such as trademark, privacy, contract, defamation, or general content disputes—while directing the sender to a more suitable process. Repeated submissions do not require repeated removal of the same already-addressed material.

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice can create liability under applicable law, including for damages, costs, and legal fees. Submit a notice only after a good-faith review.

6. Review and action

After receiving a sufficiently complete notice, SqueHub may:

• acknowledge receipt and request additional information;
• preserve relevant records;
• assess whether the identified material is within SqueHub's control;
• temporarily restrict access while reviewing a credible claim;
• forward the notice, including contact information, to the publisher or account holder;
• remove or disable access to material;
• reject the notice with an explanation where appropriate; or
• refer the matter to the hosting provider, repository provider, legal adviser, insurer, or competent authority.

Where a qualifying service-provider safe-harbor process applies, SqueHub will act expeditiously as required and take reasonable steps to notify the person who supplied affected material. The timing of a decision depends on completeness, complexity, risk, and controlling law.

7. Counter-notice

If material you supplied was removed or disabled because of a copyright notice and you believe the action resulted from mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to hello@squehub.com with the subject Copyright counter-notice.

A counter-notice intended to invoke United States DMCA procedures should include:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification;
4. your name, mailing address, and telephone number;
5. a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States federal district court—or, if outside the United States, the judicial district in which the relevant service provider may be found; and
6. a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.

Explain any license, ownership, authorization, public-domain status, or exception you rely on and attach bounded supporting material where useful. A knowingly false counter-notice may create legal liability.

8. Restoration after a counter-notice

When an applicable DMCA process requires it, SqueHub may provide the counter-notice to the original claimant and may restore the material no fewer than 10 and no more than 14 business days after receipt, unless the claimant first provides notice that a court action has been filed seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Outside that statutory process, SqueHub may use a reasonable review process appropriate to the jurisdiction, service, and agreement. Restoration is not guaranteed when material separately violates a service rule, contract, security requirement, or law.

9. Repeat infringement and account action

Where appropriate and legally required, SqueHub may terminate or restrict accounts of repeat infringers in suitable circumstances. Decisions may consider substantiated notices, counter-notices, court outcomes, the person's role, repeated disregard of warnings, evasion, and risk to users or the project.

A withdrawn, rejected, fraudulent, or successfully countered notice should not automatically be treated as a substantiated infringement. SqueHub may address malicious or abusive use separately.

10. Preservation, privacy, and disclosure

Notices and counter-notices are legal communications and may be shared with the affected parties, service providers, advisers, insurers, courts, authorities, or transparency-reporting services where lawful and appropriate. Do not assume the communication will remain confidential.

SqueHub may retain notices, responses, evidence, action history, and related account records to administer the process, prevent repeat abuse, comply with law, and establish or defend legal claims. Personal information is otherwise handled under the Privacy Policy.

11. Other disputes

Use Trademark report for confusing SqueHub branding under the Trademark Policy. Use Privacy request for personal-information concerns. Security vulnerabilities should be reported through the official security channel or repository security instructions, not through a public copyright notice.

This policy does not restrict either party from seeking legal advice, contacting a provider, using a court or administrative process, or exercising rights available under applicable law.

12. Operational contact and statutory designation

Notices and counter-notices may be sent to hello@squehub.com. This email is SqueHub's current operational copyright contact.

Publication of an email address does not represent that SqueHub has appointed or registered a statutory DMCA agent in every jurisdiction. Where designation is required for a particular hosted service, the service will publish the designated agent's complete name, address, telephone number, and email address and complete any required registration. A claimant relying on a statutory process should confirm the current designation in the relevant official directory.

13. Changes

SqueHub may update this process as its services and legal obligations develop. The last-updated date on this page identifies the current version. A notice is generally handled under the process and law applicable when it is received.
