Notification of Copyright Infringement

Textclub, Inc. doing business as (dba) Jest (“Jest”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users, including developers who publish Apps on Jest (“Developers”), to do the same.

It is Jest’s policy, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users, including Developers, who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), information about which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at https://www.copyright.gov/512/, Jest will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed on or through the Jest website, platform, and related services, including chat, text messaging, and applications and games published by Developers on the Jest platform (“Apps”) (collectively, the “Services”), that are reported to Jest’s Designated Copyright Agent, identified below.

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Services by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to Jest’s Designated Copyright Agent. Upon receipt of the Notice as described below, Jest will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removal of the challenged material from the Services. Where the material appears in an App, Jest may also forward the Notice to the App’s Developer.

DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement (“Notice”)

1. Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or - if multiple copyrighted works are covered by this Notice - you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed.

2. Identify the material that you claim is infringing (or to be the subject of infringing activity) and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL where such material may be found, or for content in chat or an App, the chat room or App and the approximate date and time.

3. Provide your mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.

4. Include both of the following statements in the body of the Notice:

“I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use).”

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

5. Provide your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature.

Counter-Notification

If we remove or disable material in response to a Notice, we will take reasonable steps to notify the person who posted it.

If material you posted or made available on the Services (including an App) was removed or disabled in response to a Notice, and you believe in good faith that it was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to Jest’s Designated Copyright Agent that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.

2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before it was removed or disabled.

3. 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.

4. Your name, address, and telephone number, 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 Jest may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original Notice or an agent of that person.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will promptly forward it to the person who submitted the original Notice and will restore the removed material not less than 10 nor more than 14 business days after we receive it, unless the person who submitted the original Notice informs us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement.

Misrepresentations

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability.

Other Intellectual Property Complaints

If you believe that content on the Services infringes your trademark or other intellectual property rights (other than copyright), please email dmca@jest.com with a description of your rights, the content concerned and where it appears, and your contact information.
