6. Review Process
Upon receiving a copyright notice, Hustlefella may:
acknowledge receipt;
review the complaint;
request additional information where necessary;
contact the user who uploaded the content;
temporarily restrict access to the material;
remove the material where appropriate;
reject complaints that are incomplete or clearly unfounded.
Each complaint is assessed individually.
7. Counter Notice
If content has been removed or restricted because of a copyright complaint, the affected user may submit a counter notice where they believe:
they own the content;
they have permission to use the content;
the material is licensed;
the material is not protected by copyright;
the material falls within a lawful exception under applicable law;
the complaint was submitted in error.
Counter notices should include any information reasonably necessary to support the user’s position.

removal of content;
suspension of listings;
suspension of accounts;

10. Ownership Disputes
Hustlefella is not a court and cannot determine legal ownership of disputed intellectual property.
Where ownership is genuinely disputed, we may:
request further information;
temporarily remove or restrict access to the content;
invite the parties to resolve the matter directly;
comply with any applicable court order or legal requirement.
11. Limitation of Responsibility
Hustlefella hosts content submitted by users.
While we investigate reported infringements in good faith, we cannot guarantee that every instance of alleged infringement will be identified immediately.
Nothing in this Policy creates an obligation for Hustlefella to proactively monitor all user-generated content.
12. Reservation of Rights
Hustlefella reserves the right to:
remove content at its discretion where intellectual property concerns arise;
request additional evidence before making decisions;
refuse publication of material that appears to infringe copyright;
cooperate with legal authorities where required by law.

Hustlefella may amend this Copyright Notice & Takedown Policy from time to time.
Updated versions become effective upon publication on the Platform.
