Brigade Management, Inc., doing business as HOCOplus ("HOCOplus," "we," "us," or "our"), respects the intellectual property of others and expects users of the Service to do the same. We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA").

Designated agent

Notices of claimed infringement should be sent to our designated agent:

Copyright Agent
Brigade Management, Inc. (HOCOplus)
P.O. Box 262084
Plano, TX 75093-4609
Phone: (469) 712-7465
Email: copyright@hocoplus.com

This address is for copyright notices only. Other messages sent to it will not receive a response; please use our contact page instead.

Filing a notice

To be effective, your notice must be in writing and include:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
  3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, such as the URL of the event page, listing, or image;
  4. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
  5. A statement that you have 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; and
  6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.

Counter-notice

If material you posted was removed and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the designated agent. It must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature;
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
  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, any judicial district in which HOCOplus may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or that person's agent.

On receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the person who sent the original notice. If that person does not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, we may restore the material within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances, to disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
