Terms of Use

CreatorHauz
The Business of Modern Influence

 

Published and powered by AmpLever.com

Effective Date: 8/13/2026
Last Updated: 8/13/2026

​

Welcome to CreatorHauz

Let’s be honest for a second.

 

Most people don’t read Terms of Use.

 

They scroll.

They skim.

They look for the button that says Publish, Continue, or Get Featured and move on.

 

We understand why. Most Terms pages are written almost entirely for attorneys and very rarely for the actual people using the platform.

 

But this page matters.

 

It protects CreatorHauz.

It helps protect our contributors.

It helps protect our readers.

 

And most importantly, it explains what happens when you decide to put your story, your photographs, your name, your company, and your work into a public publication.

 

CreatorHauz is built around a simple idea:

Give the people shaping modern influence a place to tell their own stories.

 

But publishing creates responsibilities.

 

So yes, some portions of these Terms contain legal language.

 

They have to.

 

We’ve also tried to explain those ideas in plain English wherever possible.

 

Before you publish, upload, purchase, submit, or otherwise participate in CreatorHauz, please read these Terms.

 

By accessing or using CreatorHauz, purchasing a service, submitting content, or electing to publish a feature, you agree to these Terms of Use and any additional terms or policies that apply to the particular service you use.

 

If you do not agree, do not use the applicable CreatorHauz service.

 

1. Who We Are

CreatorHauz is an independent digital media and publishing property focused on:

• Creators

• Media

• Business

• Production

• Culture

• Technology

• Platforms

• Entrepreneurship

• Creator-led companies

• The evolving business of modern influence

 

CreatorHauz is published and powered by AmpLever.com.

 

The applicable operating legal entity is:

Murph Ventures LLC

​

Nothing about featuring a creator, company, platform, brand, agency, product, or service means CreatorHauz is owned by, affiliated with, endorsed by, authorized by, or speaking on behalf of that person or organization unless we expressly state otherwise.

 

CreatorHauz is an independent media property.

 

2. What CreatorHauz Is

CreatorHauz is not exclusively a traditional newsroom.

 

It combines editorial publishing with a user-generated and contributor-directed publishing model.

 

Depending on the feature or program, contributors may be able to:

• Select interview questions

• Write their own answers

• Submit their own biography

• Upload their own photographs

• Upload a headshot

• Upload a cover or hero image

• Upload gallery images

• Submit a company or personal-brand logo

• Provide website links

• Provide social-media links

• Provide company information

• Provide photographer credits

• Provide additional supporting material

• Elect to publish their feature

 

CreatorHauz then presents that material within the CreatorHauz publication, brand, technology, editorial layout, and distribution environment.

 

In simple terms:

You bring the story.

CreatorHauz builds the stage.

 

3. Contributor-Directed Content

Some CreatorHauz features are based substantially upon information supplied or approved by the person or organization being featured.

 

We refer to these throughout these Terms as Contributor Features.

 

In a Contributor Feature, you may control significant parts of your representation.

 

You may choose the questions.

You may write the answers.

You may choose the photographs.

You may decide which website and social channels readers can visit.

 

That is different from independent third-party reporting.

 

Contributor Features should therefore be understood as contributor-led storytelling and self-representation published within the CreatorHauz media environment.

​

CreatorHauz may also independently produce, commission, edit, report, or publish other editorial content.

 

4. Paid, Sponsored, and Promotional Content

Some CreatorHauz publishing opportunities may involve:

• Publishing fees

• Participation fees

• Promotional pricing

• Complimentary placement

• Sponsorship

• Advertising

• Brand partnerships

• Other commercial consideration

 

CreatorHauz may identify content using labels such as:

• Contributor Feature

• Paid Feature

• Sponsored

• Advertisement

• Presented By

• or another designation appropriate to the relationship.

​

Where disclosure of a commercial relationship is appropriate or legally required, CreatorHauz may add, modify, or require such disclosure.

 

The FTC advises that advertising designed to resemble editorial material should not mislead consumers about its commercial nature and that necessary disclosures should be clear and prominent.

 

Payment does not give a contributor the right to make false, deceptive, unlawful, or unsupported claims.

 

5. Contributor Content

For purposes of these Terms, “Contributor Content” means content or materials you submit, upload, transmit, provide, approve, or otherwise make available to CreatorHauz, including:

• Interview responses

• Articles

• Written statements

• Biographies

• Names

• Professional names

• Usernames and social handles

• Photographs

• Headshots

• Cover images

• Gallery images

• Video

• Audio

• Graphics

• Logos

• Trademarks

• Company names

• Professional titles

• Websites

• URLs

• Social-media links

• Captions

• Quotations

• Testimonials

• Photographer information

• Business information

• Product or service information

• Other submitted materials

 

6. Your Content, Your Responsibility

When you submit Contributor Content, you are responsible for it.

 

You represent and warrant that, to the extent required for CreatorHauz to use the material as contemplated by these Terms:

You own it,

or

You have obtained the rights, licenses, permissions, releases, and authorizations necessary to provide it to us.

 

You also represent that your submission and CreatorHauz’s authorized use of it will not knowingly:

• Infringe copyright

• Infringe trademark rights

• Violate privacy rights

• Violate publicity rights

• Violate contractual restrictions

• Violate confidentiality obligations

• Defame another person

• Misappropriate another person’s identity

• Violate applicable law

 

Do not upload something simply because you possess a copy of it.

 

Possession is not the same as ownership.

 

7. Photographs and Other People's Work

This section is especially important.

 

Being the subject of a photograph does not necessarily mean you own its copyright.

 

Under U.S. copyright principles, the photographer ordinarily owns the copyright in a photograph unless ownership has been transferred or another legal arrangement applies.

 

So before uploading professional photography, ask:

Did I take this photograph?

​

If not:

Do I have permission from the photographer or rights holder to publish and promote it through CreatorHauz?

​

The same principle applies to:

• Agency photography

• Brand photography

• Artwork

• Logos

• Illustrations

• Screenshots

• Music

• Video

• Graphics

• Other people's likenesses

• Other third-party intellectual property

 

You are responsible for securing any rights necessary for the use you authorize.

 

CreatorHauz may request photographer attribution or other rights information.

 

Providing attribution alone does not necessarily create permission to use copyrighted material.

 

8. You Retain Ownership

Here’s the easy part:

Your original content remains yours.

 

Except for CreatorHauz intellectual property and other material we contribute to the resulting publication, you retain whatever ownership rights you otherwise possess in your original Contributor Content.

 

Submitting something to CreatorHauz does not, by itself, transfer ownership of your copyright to us.

 

But publishing your work requires a license.

 

That brings us to the next section.

 

9. The License You Grant CreatorHauz

By submitting Contributor Content for consideration, publication, promotion, or participation in CreatorHauz, you grant [LEGAL ENTITY], CreatorHauz, AmpLever, and their applicable affiliates, service providers, contractors, distribution partners, and licensees a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the Contributor Content for purposes associated with operating, producing, publishing, distributing, promoting, marketing, archiving, and supporting CreatorHauz and your feature.

 

Subject to the final scope adopted by CreatorHauz, this may include the right to:

• Host

• Store

• Reproduce

• Publish

• Display

• Publicly display

• Distribute

• Transmit

• Format

• Resize

• Crop

• Compress

• Adapt for technical presentation

• Excerpt

• Caption

• Create article layouts incorporating your content

• Create promotional graphics incorporating your content

• Create thumbnails and previews

• Use portions of your content to promote your published feature

• Use portions of your content to promote CreatorHauz

 

You are not entitled to additional compensation each time your Contributor Content is used within the scope of this license unless we separately agree otherwise in writing.

 

Duration; Revocability; Sublicensing; Transferability; Archival Rights; Effect of Removal

The license granted under this Section begins when Contributor Content is submitted to CreatorHauz and continues for so long as the applicable Contributor Content is published, displayed, distributed, promoted, archived, or otherwise used by CreatorHauz in accordance with these Terms, subject to the removal provisions below.

 

The license is non-exclusive, meaning that Contributor retains ownership of Contributor Content and remains free to use, publish, license, sell, distribute, or otherwise exploit Contributor Content elsewhere, subject to any separate agreements Contributor may have with third parties.

 

Except as expressly provided below, the license is irrevocable with respect to uses already made, materials already created, and distributions already completed or initiated in reliance on the license. This means that removal or withdrawal of Contributor Content does not require CreatorHauz to recall, destroy, retract, or cease use of materials that were lawfully created, published, distributed, transmitted, or disseminated before CreatorHauz received and processed a valid removal request.

 

Contributor grants CreatorHauz the right to sublicense the rights granted under this Section solely as reasonably necessary to operate, host, publish, distribute, market, promote, archive, and support CreatorHauz and the applicable Contributor Feature. Permitted sublicensees may include hosting providers, content-delivery networks, website and application providers, email service providers, social-media platforms, advertising and marketing providers, search and distribution partners, analytics providers, contractors, vendors, and other service providers acting on behalf of or in support of CreatorHauz.

 

CreatorHauz may assign or transfer this license, in whole or in part, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of substantially all relevant assets, transfer of the CreatorHauz business or publication, or transfer to an affiliate or successor operator, provided that the transferee remains bound to use the Contributor Content within the scope of the license granted under these Terms. CreatorHauz may not sell or assign Contributor's underlying copyright ownership merely by virtue of this license.

 

CreatorHauz may retain Contributor Content and related publication materials for archival, historical, evidentiary, legal, compliance, recordkeeping, backup, and internal business purposes, even after the public-facing Contributor Feature has been removed. Archival copies need not remain publicly accessible and may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes or as required by law.

 

A Contributor may request removal of a published Contributor Feature by contacting CreatorHauz through the designated removal or support process. CreatorHauz will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove or disable the public-facing feature from CreatorHauz-controlled websites and applications within a reasonable period after accepting and processing the request, subject to applicable law, contractual obligations, technical limitations, and legitimate business or archival needs.

 

Upon removal of the public-facing feature, CreatorHauz will cease initiating new promotional uses of the removed Contributor Content, except where such continued use is reasonably necessary for archival, historical, legal, compliance, recordkeeping, or previously committed campaign purposes.

 

Removal does not require CreatorHauz to remove, retrieve, recall, or destroy:

• copies previously distributed through social media, newsletters, advertisements, presentations, press materials, or other promotional channels;

• screenshots, reposts, shares, embeds, quotations, links, or copies created or retained by third parties;

• search-engine results, caches, indexing records, or web archives outside CreatorHauz's control;

• printed materials, event materials, media kits, or other fixed materials already produced or distributed;

• backup, disaster-recovery, security, compliance, evidentiary, or internal archival copies;

• materials incorporated into campaigns or distributions that CreatorHauz had already committed to or materially prepared before the removal request was processed.

 

To the extent technically and commercially reasonable, CreatorHauz will not intentionally republish the removed Contributor Feature as a new public-facing feature after removal without obtaining new authorization from the Contributor.

 

Contributor acknowledges that public internet publication may result in copying, sharing, indexing, caching, archiving, or redistribution by third parties beyond CreatorHauz's control, and CreatorHauz does not guarantee that removal from CreatorHauz-controlled properties will eliminate all copies, references, or links available elsewhere.

 

Nothing in this Section limits rights or obligations that cannot lawfully be waived, including any statutory termination rights or other rights available under applicable copyright law.

 

10. Name, Image, Likeness, and Professional Identity

When you elect to be featured, you authorize CreatorHauz to identify and promote you in connection with the feature.

 

To the extent included in your submission or approved by you, this may include use of your:

• Legal name

• Professional name

• Stage name

• Username

• Social-media handle

• Image

• Photograph

• Portrait

• Likeness

• Voice

• Biography

• Professional title

• Company

• Logo

• Trademark

• Website

• Social-media profile

 

These permissions apply to publication of your feature and permitted promotion of that feature and CreatorHauz.

 

11. Marketing and Promotional Use

A feature only creates visibility if people can find it.

 

CreatorHauz may therefore promote published features using submitted materials and excerpts.

 

For example, we may combine:

• Your photograph

• Your name

• Your article headline

• A short quote

• The CreatorHauz logo

to create a graphic such as:

FEATURED IN CREATORHAUZ

​

and distribute that graphic through CreatorHauz promotional channels.

 

Authorized promotional uses may include:

• CreatorHauz.com

• AmpLever-operated or powered media properties

• Social media

• Newsletters

• Search previews

• Social previews

• Promotional reels or videos

• CreatorHauz advertising

• Digital presentations

• Media kits

• Event displays

• Awards programs

• Press materials

• Partner distribution

• Other CreatorHauz marketing channels

 

This promotional use is part of the publishing relationship.

​

We publish the story.

Then we help the story travel.

 

12. Editorial and Formatting Rights

CreatorHauz may make reasonable editorial and technical changes necessary to present Contributor Content professionally.

 

That may include:

• Correcting spelling

• Correcting grammar

• Formatting paragraphs

• Adjusting punctuation

• Creating headlines

• Creating subheadings

• Selecting excerpts

• Selecting pull quotes

• Creating captions

• Cropping images

• Resizing images

• Selecting thumbnails

• Determining layout

• Determining placement

• Categorizing content

• Creating metadata

• Creating search descriptions

 

CreatorHauz may also decline or remove submitted material consistent with these Terms and our Policies.

 

We do not intend to knowingly materially misrepresent the substance of a contributor’s statements through editorial formatting.

 

13. Your Links and External Destinations

CreatorHauz features are intentionally designed to help interested readers continue discovering the people and companies we feature.

 

You may be permitted to provide links to:

• Personal websites

• Company websites

• Social accounts

• Stores

• Newsletters

• Membership platforms

• Professional profiles

• Other approved destinations

 

CreatorHauz may display, format, track, or redirect those links as technically necessary to operate the publication and measure performance.

 

We may remove or disable links that we reasonably believe point to:

• Malware

• Fraud

• Illegal content

• Prohibited content

• Deceptive destinations

• Material inconsistent with CreatorHauz standards

 

We do not control third-party websites.

 

A link appearing in CreatorHauz does not necessarily mean CreatorHauz endorses the destination or everything offered there.

 

14. Sharing Is Part of the Experience

When you publish through CreatorHauz, your content is intended to be discovered and shared.

 

Readers may share links to your feature through:

• LinkedIn

• Instagram

• Facebook

• X

• Messaging

• Email

• Websites

• Other online channels

 

Search engines may index your feature.

 

Third parties may link to it.

 

People may discuss it.

 

Your feature may travel beyond CreatorHauz.

 

That is part of publishing on the public internet.

 

Before publishing, ask yourself:

• Am I ready for people to see this?

• Am I comfortable sharing this professionally?

• Would I stand behind it later?

 

Because publication creates visibility.

 

15. Safe-for-Work Content Standards

CreatorHauz is intended to be a safe-for-work publication suitable for broad public and professional audiences.

 

Content containing or promoting material prohibited under CreatorHauz Policies is not permitted.

 

This may include, without limitation:

• Nudity

• Pornographic content

• Sexually explicit material

• Solicitation of sexual services

• Illegal content

• Fraud

• Threats

• Harassment

• Hate-based abuse

• Malicious software

• Unauthorized private information

• Content infringing third-party rights

• Other content CreatorHauz reasonably determines violates its Policies or applicable law

 

CreatorHauz may reject, restrict, edit, or remove material inconsistent with these standards.

 

Please review the separate CreatorHauz Policies for additional detail.

 

16. Accuracy, Claims, and Endorsements

You are responsible for claims you make in your Contributor Content.

 

Do not knowingly submit false or materially misleading claims about:

• Yourself

• Your company

• Your products

• Your services

• Your customers

• Your accomplishments

• Another person or organization

 

If your feature discusses products, services, companies, or brands with which you have a material commercial relationship, you are responsible for accurately disclosing information requested by CreatorHauz.

 

The FTC requires endorsements and advertising claims to be truthful and not misleading and may require disclosure of material relationships.

 

CreatorHauz may add or require disclosures where appropriate.

 

17. Publishing, Fulfillment, and Refunds

CreatorHauz may offer paid:

• Features

• Advertising

• Sponsorships

• Events

• Memberships

• Programs

• Other digital services

 

Different services may have different refund or cancellation rules.

 

For self-publishing or instant-publishing products, publication may constitute fulfillment.

 

Once a feature has been published, services already performed may be non-refundable to the extent described in the applicable purchase terms and permitted by law.

 

Before publishing:

• Review your interview.

• Check your images.

• Verify your links.

• Confirm your name.

• Make sure you are ready.

 

Once published, your feature may become:

• Live

• Public

• Searchable

• Shareable

​

Specific purchasing pages or program terms may contain additional refund or cancellation provisions.

 

18. Corrections, Updates, and Removal

If you discover an error in a published feature, contact CreatorHauz.

 

We may provide processes for requesting:

• Corrections

• Updates

• Link changes

• Content review

• Removal

 

CreatorHauz is not obligated to approve every requested change or removal unless required by law or separately agreed.

 

Even where a feature is removed from CreatorHauz, we may be unable to retrieve or delete copies already distributed through:

• Search-engine caches

• Screenshots

• Social-media shares

• Newsletters

• Third-party links

• Web archives

• Previously distributed promotional material

• Third-party systems beyond our control

 

The effect of removal on CreatorHauz’s content license will be governed by the final license terms stated above.

 

19. Content Moderation and Our Right to Refuse Service

CreatorHauz reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to:

• Decline publication

• Remove content

• Restrict content

• Disable links

• Request changes

• Refuse service

• Restrict participation

• Suspend accounts

• Terminate access

when we reasonably determine action is appropriate to:

• Enforce these Terms

• Enforce CreatorHauz Policies

• Protect rights

• Protect users

• Protect the publication

• Comply with law

• Address fraud, abuse, or security concerns

 

Publication is not guaranteed merely because material was submitted or a fee was paid.

 

20. Copyright Complaints and DMCA

CreatorHauz respects intellectual-property rights.

 

If you believe material available through CreatorHauz infringes your copyright, you may submit a copyright complaint through the process identified on CreatorHauz.

 

Where CreatorHauz seeks protection available to qualifying online service providers under Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, applicable requirements can include a notice-and-takedown process and designation of an agent to receive infringement notices.

 

CreatorHauz’s designated contact information should be:

DMCA Agent: Contact Page

Company: Murph Ventures LLC

Email: Contact Page

 

Copyright Infringement / DMCA Notice and Counter-Notice Procedure

CreatorHauz respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects contributors, advertisers, partners, visitors, and other users of the platform to do the same.

 

CreatorHauz may remove or disable access to material that it reasonably believes infringes copyright, and may take additional action against users or contributors who repeatedly submit infringing material.

 

This procedure is intended to comply with the notice-and-takedown and counter-notification framework of Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

 

Designated DMCA Agent

CreatorHauz has designated the following agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement:

DMCA Agent: Murph Ventures LLC
Legal Entity: Murph Ventures LLC
Publication: CreatorHauz
Published and powered by: AmpLever.com
Email: Contact Page
 

Copyright complaints intended to invoke the DMCA process should be sent to the Designated DMCA Agent identified above.

 

Important: CreatorHauz should ensure that its Designated DMCA Agent is separately registered and kept current in the U.S. Copyright Office’s online DMCA Designated Agent Directory. Publication of an agent’s information on this website does not, by itself, substitute for registration with the Copyright Office.

 

Notice of Claimed Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner, and believe that material available through CreatorHauz infringes a copyrighted work, you may submit a written notification to our Designated DMCA Agent.

 

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), the notification should include substantially all of the following information:

1. Signature

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

2. Identification of the Copyrighted Work

Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.

If multiple copyrighted works located on CreatorHauz are covered by a single notification, you may provide a representative list of those works.

3. Identification of the Allegedly Infringing Material

Identification of the material that you claim is infringing, or is the subject of infringing activity, and that you request CreatorHauz remove or disable access to.

Please provide information reasonably sufficient for CreatorHauz to locate the material.

Whenever possible, include the specific CreatorHauz URL where the allegedly infringing material appears.

4. Your Contact Information

Information reasonably sufficient to permit CreatorHauz to contact you, such as:

• Full legal name

• Mailing address

• Telephone number

• Email address

5. Good-Faith Statement

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.

6. Accuracy and Authority Statement

A statement that the information contained in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner of the copyright or exclusive right allegedly infringed, or that you are authorized to act on behalf of such owner.

The DMCA specifies these required elements for an effective infringement notice.

 

Suggested DMCA Notice Format

A claimant may use substantially the following format:

Subject: DMCA Notice of Claimed Copyright Infringement

To the CreatorHauz Designated DMCA Agent:

I am the owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of certain copyrighted material.

I believe material available through CreatorHauz infringes that copyrighted material.

Copyrighted Work:
[Describe the copyrighted work.]

Location of Authorized/Original Work, if applicable:
[URL or other identifying information.]

Material Claimed to Be Infringing:
[Describe the allegedly infringing material.]

CreatorHauz URL(s):
[Provide the exact URL(s).]

 

I have a good-faith belief that the use of the material described above is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

 

I state that the information in this notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner of the copyright or exclusive right allegedly infringed, or that I am authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

What CreatorHauz May Do After Receiving a DMCA Notice

Upon receipt of a notification that substantially complies with the DMCA, CreatorHauz may:

• Review the notification;

• Remove or disable access to the identified material;

• Notify the person who submitted or posted the material;

• Request additional information where reasonably necessary;

• Preserve relevant records;

• Take other action consistent with applicable law and CreatorHauz policies.

 

Where CreatorHauz removes or disables access to material in response to a DMCA notice, it may provide the affected contributor or user with a copy of the notice or sufficient information concerning the claim so that the person has an opportunity to respond.

​

CreatorHauz does not adjudicate copyright ownership disputes.

 

Removal under the DMCA process does not necessarily mean CreatorHauz has determined that infringement actually occurred.

 

Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you submitted to CreatorHauz was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to the CreatorHauz Designated DMCA Agent.

 

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), an effective counter-notification must include substantially the following information:

1. Signature

Your physical or electronic signature.

2. Identification of the Removed Material

Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, along with the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.

3. Statement Under Penalty of Perjury

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.

4. Consent to Jurisdiction

Your name, address, and telephone number, together with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located.

 

If your address is outside the United States, you must consent to the jurisdiction of a United States Federal District Court in any judicial district in which CreatorHauz or its applicable service provider may be found.

 

You must also state that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original infringement notification, or that person’s agent.

 

These elements are prescribed by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3).

 

Suggested Counter-Notification Format

Subject: DMCA Counter-Notification

 

To the CreatorHauz Designated DMCA Agent:

I am submitting this counter-notification regarding material that CreatorHauz removed or disabled in response to a notice of claimed copyright infringement.

 

Material Removed or Disabled:
[Identify the material.]

 

Former Location of the Material:
[Provide the CreatorHauz URL or other location.]

 

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

 

I consent to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located, or, if my address is outside the United States, to the jurisdiction of a United States Federal District Court in a judicial district in which CreatorHauz or its applicable service provider may be found.

 

I agree to accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA notification or that person’s agent.

What Happens After a Counter-Notification

If CreatorHauz receives a valid counter-notification, CreatorHauz may forward a copy to the person who submitted the original DMCA notice.

 

CreatorHauz may inform that person that the removed material may be restored or access re-enabled unless the original claimant timely notifies CreatorHauz that the claimant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the contributor or user from engaging in allegedly infringing activity relating to the material.

 

Subject to the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), CreatorHauz may restore the material or re-enable access after the statutory waiting period if the original claimant does not provide notice of such legal action.

 

The statute generally contemplates replacement of the material not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receipt of a compliant counter-notification, unless the service provider receives notice that the original claimant has filed an action seeking a court order concerning the allegedly infringing activity.

 

CreatorHauz may delay restoration where required by law, court order, another valid legal process, or an independent violation of CreatorHauz Terms of Use or Policies.

 

Important: A Counter-Notification Is a Legal Statement

A counter-notification is not simply an appeal to CreatorHauz.

 

It is a formal legal communication made under penalty of perjury.

 

Before submitting one, make sure you genuinely believe the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification and that you understand the jurisdiction and service-of-process statements you are making.

 

You may wish to consult a qualified attorney before submitting a DMCA notice or counter-notification.

 

Misrepresentations

The DMCA provides potential liability for knowingly making material misrepresentations in a notification that material is infringing or in a counter-notification that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification.

 

CreatorHauz reserves the right to seek appropriate remedies or refer matters to counsel where it believes the DMCA process is being intentionally abused.

 

Section 512(f) specifically addresses misrepresentations made in DMCA notices and counter-notifications.

 

Repeat Infringers

Where applicable to CreatorHauz’s operation as an online service provider, CreatorHauz may adopt and reasonably implement a policy providing for termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users or contributors who are repeat copyright infringers.

 

CreatorHauz may consider circumstances such as:

• Repeated valid infringement notices;

• Repeated unauthorized submission of copyrighted material;

• Court determinations;

• Admissions;

• Other reliable evidence of repeated infringement.

 

CreatorHauz retains reasonable discretion in applying this policy consistent with applicable law.

 

False, Fraudulent, or Abusive Notices

 

Do not use the DMCA process to:

• Silence criticism;

• Resolve trademark disputes;

• Resolve contract disputes;

• Resolve privacy disputes unrelated to copyright;

• Remove material merely because you dislike it;

• Assert rights you do not own or control.

 

A DMCA notice is specifically a copyright procedure.

 

CreatorHauz may disregard notices that do not substantially comply with applicable law or may request additional information before acting.

 

Other Intellectual-Property Complaints

If your complaint concerns something other than copyright—such as:

• Trademark;

• Right of publicity;

• Privacy;

• Defamation;

• Impersonation;

• Confidential information;

 

please use the appropriate CreatorHauz reporting or Contact process rather than submitting a DMCA notice unless copyright infringement is also genuinely involved.

 

Designated-Agent Registration

CreatorHauz intends to maintain the public contact information of its Designated DMCA Agent in this policy.

 

However, an entity seeking to rely on the DMCA safe-harbor framework should also maintain a current designation with the U.S. Copyright Office’s DMCA Designated Agent Directory. The Copyright Office states that the directory is maintained specifically for agents designated to receive infringement notices.

 

21. Third-Party Services

CreatorHauz may rely on third-party companies and technologies for services such as:

• Website hosting

• Payments

• Email

• Analytics

• Advertising

• Social sharing

• Video

• Authentication

• Infrastructure

• Search

• Distribution

 

Those services may have their own terms and privacy practices.

 

CreatorHauz is not responsible for third-party services beyond the extent required by applicable law or separate agreement.

 

22. No Guarantee of Results

CreatorHauz is designed to create opportunities for visibility and discovery.

 

But we cannot promise outcomes we do not control.

 

We do not guarantee:

• Article views

• Website traffic

• Social-media traffic

• Followers

• Sales

• Leads

• Brand partnerships

• Sponsorships

• Media coverage

• Search rankings

• Engagement

• Revenue
