DMCA Policy

Avocado Hummus respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This DMCA Policy outlines our procedures for addressing alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via Avocado Hummus, please notify our designated copyright agent as set forth below.

Filing a DMCA Infringement Notice

To file a notice of alleged copyright infringement with Avocado Hummus, you must provide a written communication that includes substantially the following (please consult your legal counsel or see Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA to confirm these requirements):

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be 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 Avocado Hummus to locate the material.
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Avocado Hummus to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has 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. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please send your DMCA infringement notice to our designated agent via our Contact Page, clearly indicating "DMCA Notice" in the subject.

Filing a DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe that your material has been removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with Avocado Hummus. To be effective, a counter-notification must be a written communication provided to our designated agent that includes substantially the following (please consult your legal counsel or see Section 512(g)(3) of the DMCA to confirm these requirements):

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  • 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.
  • 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 the address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Avocado Hummus may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.

Please send your DMCA counter-notification to our designated agent via our Contact Page, clearly indicating "DMCA Counter-Notification" in the subject.

Avocado Hummus may replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification, unless our designated agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the original DMCA infringement notice that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our system.
