Copyright Complaints

Effective [Effective date]

Employers write and post the listings on Seventh Jobs, and we also collect listings from employers' public careers pages. If you believe a listing copies your copyrighted work without permission, you can ask us to remove it. This page describes how, and who receives your notice. Our Terms of Service cover the rest.

Where to send a notice

Send notices of copyright infringement by email to hello@seventhjobs.com. Put “Copyright notice” in the subject.

This address is only for copyright notices. For anything else about a listing (it's out of date, wrong or suspicious), use the “Report this listing” form on the listing's page, or write to hello@seventhjobs.com.

What a notice must include

A notice is written, signed (an electronic signature is fine) and includes:

  • the copyrighted work you say was copied, or a representative list if several works are on one page;
  • the web address of the listing, so we can find the material you want removed;
  • your name, postal address, phone number and email address;
  • a statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
  • a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Please be sure the material really infringes before you send a notice: a person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing can be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. 512(f). We may send a copy of your notice, including your contact details, to the employer who posted the listing.

What we do with a notice

  • We remove the material, or disable access to it, promptly, and tell the employer who posted it.
  • Listings we collected from a careers page are not written by an employer account. Treat a complaint about one as a removal request: we take the listing down, and a copyright owner who objects can also block our crawler (see how our crawler works).

Counter-notice

If you posted material that was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you can send us a counter-notice. It must be written and signed, and include: the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address and phone number; and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, outside the United States, any judicial district where we can be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

We send the counter-notice to the person who made the complaint. If they don't tell us within 10 business days that they have started a court action against you, we may restore the material, no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after we received your counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

We may suspend or close the account of an employer that is the subject of repeated valid copyright notices, and we may remove all of its listings. We decide each case on its facts; a counter-notice that is resolved in the poster's favor isn't counted against it.
