IP & Takedown Policy
1. Our role
HyperCodeStore is a marketplace. Listings are uploaded by independent sellers, and we host them. Sellers must own, or be licensed to sell, everything they upload, and they are responsible for it.
We check every listing before it goes live for quality and technical reasons (see how we review listings). That review is not a legal clearance of intellectual property rights, and we have no general obligation to monitor listings. When we learn that a listing infringes someone's rights, we act on that listing and its seller.
2. How to report infringing or illegal content
Use the form below — no account needed — or the "Report this listing" link on any product page. Notices can be written in English or Hungarian. A complete notice contains:
- the copyrighted work or trademark you say is infringed;
- the exact URL(s) of the listing(s) on HyperCodeStore;
- a sufficiently substantiated explanation of why the content infringes or is illegal;
- your name, email address, and — for intellectual property notices — postal address and phone number;
- a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the rights owner, its agent or the law;
- a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the rights owner or authorised to act for them;
- your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name in the form counts as an electronic signature).
Formal notices under Hungarian law. A rights owner may also send a notice under Section 13 of Act CVIII of 2001 as a private document with full probative force (for example with a qualified electronic signature or AVDH certification) to [email protected]. We act on such notices within 12 hours of receipt.
3. What happens after a notice
- We confirm receipt by email with a reference number.
- A person reviews the notice. We do not use automated decision-making for notices.
- If the notice is complete and the infringement is apparent, we disable access to the listing concerned — not to the seller's other listings — and lock it so it cannot be re-published while the case is open. For intellectual property removals we may also stop existing buyers from downloading it again.
- We tell the seller in writing, at the latest within 3 working days, with a statement of the reasons: what was restricted, the facts, the legal and contractual grounds, and how to respond.
- We tell you our decision and how you can contest it.
If a notice is incomplete or the infringement is not apparent, we may ask for more information or decline to act, and we tell you why.
4. Counter-notices (for sellers)
If your listing was taken down and you believe that was a mistake or that you have the rights, file a counter-notice from Dashboard → Legal notices. It needs:
- the listing concerned;
- your explanation of why the removal was a mistake or why you hold the rights;
- your full name, email, phone number, postal address and country;
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith the material was removed by mistake or misidentification;
- your consent to the jurisdiction of the courts where the claimant can sue you (for claims under US law, the US federal district court for your address, or if you are outside the US, any judicial district in which HyperCodeStore may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the claimant;
- your signature.
We forward the counter-notice, including your name and contact details, to the claimant. Unless the claimant tells us within 10 working days that they have started court proceedings or asked for an interim measure, we restore the listing. For formal notices under Hungarian law, a formal objection within 8 days leads to restoration without delay, unless a court or authority orders otherwise.
5. Repeat infringers
Each listing taken down after a valid notice counts as a strike against the seller's account; a strike is removed if the listing is restored after a successful counter-notice. In appropriate circumstances we suspend sellers who repeatedly infringe: after a warning, first for 30 days, then 60, then 90 days, and we terminate accounts of repeat infringers. Serious or deliberate infringement can lead to immediate termination. While a seller is suspended their listings are off sale and they cannot submit new ones.
6. Misuse of the notice system
We may stop accepting notices from anyone who repeatedly sends manifestly unfounded notices: after three, the form refuses notices from that address for twelve months. Anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for the damage caused.
7. Buyers
If a listing you bought is removed for intellectual property or legal reasons, your downloads may be blocked and you may be asked to delete your copies. Contact Support about a refund; we handle it under our Refund Policy. Your statutory consumer rights are not affected.
8. Contact point
