We encourage our users to upload video, photos and stories about holiday experiences. When you do, you retain ownership of your material. Hellish Holidays may host, or assign hosting to a third-party site, and share your material for only as long as you leave it up on our site.
Please note that we cannot accept any material we consider offensive. This includes nudity and certain language.
Hellish Holidays will not alter your material in any way that affects your artistic vision, with the following exceptions:
- We may remove or block minimal offensive language or visuals from material that otherwise is not offensive.
- We may copy edit text submissions to remove typographical errors.
- We may edit text submissions for length.
- We may crop photo submissions to better fit the available space.
It is the policy of Hellish Holidays to remove material that it believes in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our users. We will also remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders.

Once Proper Infringement Notification is Received by Hellish Holidays, it is our policy:

- to notify the user that it has removed or disabled access to the material; and
- that repeat offenders will have the infringing material removed from the system and that Hellish Holidays will terminate such user's access to the website and service.
If the user believes that material that was removed or to which access was disabled is either not infringing, or the user believes that he or she has the right to post and use such material from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, the user must send a counter-notice containing the following information, in English, to notification (at) hellishholidays.com. Please include:
- An electronic signature of the user;
- 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 disabled;
- A statement that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the material; and
- User's name, address, telephone number, and, if available, e-mail address and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the user's address is located, or if the user's address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Hellish Holidays is located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, Hellish Holidays may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.
