Sulake Oy ("Sulake", "we", or "us") respects the intellectual property rights of others and has made every effort to secure appropriate clearances for all proprietary intellectual properties that Sulake directly makes available on Habbo (however accessed and/or used, whether via personal computers, mobile devices or otherwise) and we require our users to do the same.
Sulake will respond to allegations of copyright and/or neighbouring right violations in accordance with the Finnish Information Society Code (917/2014). The law provides a process for a copyright or neighbouring right holder to give notification to an online service provider concerning alleged copyright/neighboring right infringement.
When a valid notification is received, Sulake responds under this process by taking down the offending content. Upon taking down content, Sulake will take reasonable steps to contact the owner of the removed content to provide an opportunity for a plea to be filed. On receiving a valid plea within the time limit, Sulake generally restores the content in question, unless otherwise provided by an agreement between the service provider and the content provider or by an order or decision by a court or by any other authority.
Please note that these notifications and pleas are real-world legal notices provided outside of Habbo. Sulake may provide copies of such notices to the participants in the dispute or third parties, at our discretion and as required by law. Habbo Privacy Policy does not cover information provided in these notices.
DO NOT SEND ANY INQUIRIES UNRELATED TO INFRINGEMENT OF RIGHTS (E.G., REQUESTS FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE OR CUSTOMER SERVICE, ETC.) TO THE CONTACT LISTED BELOW. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE IF YOU SEND COMPLAINTS UNRELATED TO LEGAL MATTERS TO THAT CONTACT.
