You represent that you have read, understood and agree to our Privacy Policy Statement. If you use the Service outside of the United States, you consent to having your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States or elsewhere..

Copyright and Trademark Disputes

Jabfab respects the intellectual property of others and takes the protection of copyrights and all other intellectual property very seriously, and we ask our users to do the same. Infringing activity will not be tolerated on or through the Service.
Jabfab’s intellectual property policy is to (1) remove material that Jabfab believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property owner or their agent, is infringing the intellectual property of a third party by being made available through the Service, and (2) remove any User Content posted to the Service by “repeat infringers.” Jabfab considers a “repeat infringer” to be any user that has uploaded User Content to the Service and for whom Jabfab has received more than two takedown notices compliant with the provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) with respect to such User Content. Jabfab has discretion, however, to terminate the account of any user after receipt of a single notification of claimed infringement.

Procedure for Reporting Claimed Infringement

If you believe that any content made available on or through the Service has been used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual property right you own, control or represent, then please promptly send a Notification of Claimed Infringement containing the following information to the Designated Agent identified below. Your communication must include substantially the following items:
  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the work(s) that has/have been allegedly infringed;
  2. Identification of works or materials being infringed, or, if multiple 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 specific 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 Jabfab to locate the material;
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Jabfab to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted;
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please consult your legal counsel or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm your obligations to provide a valid notice under the Copyright Act.

Jabfab’s Designated Agent for notices of claimed infringement can be contacted at:

Via Email :copyright@jabfab.com

Via U.S. Mail :

Jabfab, Inc.

Attn: Copyright Department

Telephone: 212.330.8044

Counter Notification

If you receive a notification from Jabfab that material made available by you on or through the Service has been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then you will have the right to provide Jabfab with what is called a “Counter Notification.” To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing, provided to Jabfab’s Designated Agent (see above), and include substantially the following information:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber;
  2. 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;
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has 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; and
  4. The subscriber’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided a notification of claimed infringement or an agent of such person.

A party submitting a Counter Notification should consult legal counsel or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm the party’s obligations to provide a valid counter notification under the Copyright Act.

Jabfab will promptly provide a party submitting a Notification of Claimed Infringement with valid Counter Notifications received pursuant to Section 512 of the Copyright Act, and inform such complaining party that Jabfab will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to the content pursuant to the provisions of the Copyright Act.

Upon receipt of a valid Counter Notification, Jabfab will replace removed material or cease disabling access to such removed or disabled content not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of a Counter Notification, unless Jabfab’s Designated Agent first receives notice from the party submitting the Notification of Claimed Infringement that such party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity related to the material on the Site.

False Notifications of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notifications

The Copyright Act provides that:

[a]ny person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of [Jabfab] relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.

17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

Jabfab reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a Notification of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notification in violation of the law.

For the avoidance of doubt, only notices submitted under the DMCA should be sent to the Designated Agent atcopyright@jabfab.com or to the postal address identified above.

Virtual Items or Currency

Jabfab provides an incentive for its users to continue posting their sentiments to the Site or Service via their computer(s) and/or mobile device(s). This incentive is offered in the form of a virtual currency (called “Jabfab Points”). Users will accrue Jabfab Points when posting their sentiments (whether Jabs or Fabs). Users that elect to include more of their demographic information in their profile (e.g., year-of-birth, gender, or location) and also share their sentiment postings with their friends via linked social network sites, such as Facebook or Twitter, will be able to maximize their number of accrued Jabfab Points. This virtual currency can be used in lieu of actual currency when purchasing certain services offered through the Jabfab service. Jabfab may also offer promotions or special third party deals to users that have accrued certain levels of Jabfab Points.
