Copyright / DMCA Policy

Hylo respects intellectual property rights. If you believe content on Hylo — an account's uploads, an AI-generated output, or anything else — infringes your copyright, you can request its removal.

This procedure follows the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Section 512 and the Indian Copyright Act's intermediary-liability requirements. Knowingly false notices may expose you to liability for damages and legal fees.

Submitting a takedown notice

Send a written notice to hello@tryhylo.com including all of the following:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (e.g., a link to your original product page, the original design photograph, registration number if any).
2. Identification of the infringing material on Hylo and where it can be found (URL or specific description so we can locate it).
3. Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on its behalf.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

We act on properly formatted notices typically within 1–3 business days.

Counter-notice (if your content was removed)

If we removed content of yours and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to hello@tryhylo.com including:

1. Identification of the removed material and where it appeared.
2. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
3. Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the U.S., the courts of Bengaluru, Karnataka, India).
4. Your physical or electronic signature.

We'll forward valid counter-notices to the original complainant. Unless they file a lawsuit within 10–14 business days, we may restore the content.

Repeat-infringer policy

We terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe copyright. The definition of “repeat” is contextual but generally means three or more valid takedown notices against the same account.
