HypoTV respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all users and partners to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable intellectual property laws, HypoTV has implemented the following policy for handling claims of copyright infringement.
HypoTV operates as a third-party service facilitator and distributor of IPTV-related services. The platform does not host, store, or transmit any media content on its own servers. Instead, HypoTV provides access to services and content made available by independent third-party providers.
As such, HypoTV functions solely as an intermediary platform, enabling users to connect with external IPTV services. We do not control, manage, or verify the legality of content provided by these third-party sources. However, we take intellectual property protection seriously and maintain a strong commitment to complying with applicable copyright regulations.
1. Designated Agent
Pursuant to section 512(c) of the U.S. Copyright Act, online service providers must designate an agent to receive copyright owners’ notices and include the agent’s contact information on their website.
- DMCA Agent: Legal Department – DMCA Compliance
- Email: contact@hypotv.com
2. Notice of Claimed Infringement
If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that material on the HypoTV platform infringes your copyrights, you may submit a written notice in accordance with the DMCA. To be legally effective, a DMCA notice must include the following information:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works on our platform are covered by a single notice, a representative list of such works.
- Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit HypoTV to locate the material (e.g., URL to the specific stream or program).
- Contact information for the complainant, including name, address, telephone number and an email address.
- A statement that the complainant has a good‑faith belief that the use of the material 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 the complainant is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Notices that fail to include all of the above information may be considered invalid. Please submit your notice via email for fastest processing; you may also send it to our postal address.
3. HypoTV’s Response
Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, HypoTV will:
- Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material, as required by section 512 of the DMCA.
- Notify the user who posted or accessed the material that we have removed or disabled access to it.
- Forward the notice to the user so they can decide whether to submit a counter‑notification.
We make reasonable efforts to process notices expeditiously but do not guarantee a specific time frame. We have adopted a repeat‑infringer policy: users whose accounts are subject to multiple valid takedown notices will have their accounts suspended or terminated to maintain DMCA safe‑harbor protections.
4. Counter‑Notification
If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter‑notification. A valid counter‑notification must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed.
- 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.
- Your name, address, telephone number and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which HypoTV may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of such person.
When we receive a counter‑notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless the complainant files an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity, we may replace or restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter‑notification.
5. Misrepresentations and Penalties
The DMCA imposes liability on any person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter‑notice. You may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you misrepresent that content is infringing or that your counter‑notification is accurate. Filing a false DMCA notice or counter‑notice may constitute perjury.
6. Repeat‑Infringer Policy and Safe Harbor
To qualify for DMCA safe‑harbor protections, service providers must adopt a repeat‑infringer policy, designate a DMCA agent and ensure they do not benefit financially from infringing activity. HypoTV terminates accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyrighted works after proper notification. We also reserve the right to block or remove content that we believe in good faith is infringing even without a formal DMCA notice.
7. Updates to DMCA Policy
We may modify this DMCA Policy to reflect changes in the law or our procedures. Updated policies will be posted on our website and become effective when published. By continuing to use HypoTV, you agree to comply with the most current version of this policy.
