Copyright & DMCA

If you believe content on helperly.org or in a Helperly app or service (including aggregation services such as need.work, which indexes publicly available job postings and links every listing back to its source) infringes a copyright you own, this page tells you how to reach us and what happens next.

1. Designated agent

Under Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, notices of claimed infringement for Helperly LLC should be sent to our designated agent:

Agent

Copyright Agent, Helperly LLC

Email

Registration

U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory, DMCA-1079247 (public directory)

The agent's mailing address and telephone number are on file with the Copyright Office and are available in the public directory linked above. You may also send a notice through our contact form; it is saved as a ticket and reaches the same agent.

2. Employers and publishers: removing your content

You do not need a DMCA notice to have your listings or content removed from an aggregation service. Email the agent from an address at your organization's domain (or through your applicant-tracking system or job board vendor) naming the organization and, if applicable, the URL of the source. We stop indexing that source and delist its content — usually within one business day — and we honor robots.txt and noindex directives automatically.

3. Filing a copyright notice

To be effective under Section 512(c)(3), a notice must include:

1. The copyrighted work you believe has been infringed.
2. The material you want removed and enough information for us to locate it (a URL is ideal).
3. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

We act on complete notices promptly, notify the affected source or user where practical, and keep a record of the notice. Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can carry liability under Section 512(f).

4. Counter-notices and repeat infringers

If material was removed because of a notice and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same agent with the elements required by Section 512(g)(3). We forward counter-notices to the original complainant and may restore the material as the statute provides.

Repeat-infringer policy. Our local-first apps do not host user-uploaded works. Where accounts, submissions, or indexed sources are the subject of repeated valid notices, we disable or terminate them in appropriate circumstances, and we permanently stop indexing sources that ask us to.
