Protecting Intellectual Property Rights

Copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights apply to material shared online. If a rights holder believes protected content has been used unlawfully on our website, they may raise the matter using the process below. Reports may be submitted by creators, brand owners, companies, or representatives authorized to act on their behalf.

When This Procedure Applies

This procedure provides a way to report suspected misuse of works, trademarks, brand materials, and other protected assets appearing on our website. Respect for third-party rights is expected of visitors, customers, suppliers, partners, and all other users. The DMCA notice provisions concern copyright; complaints involving trademarks or other rights are considered under the applicable law. Our Terms of Service separately address access to the website, orders, and general use.

Submitting an Infringement Notice

A report should explain which rights are involved, identify the material in question, and allow us to establish who is submitting it and their authority to do so. You may submit a notice if you hold those rights or represent the owner and reasonably believe an infringement has occurred. The U.S. Copyright Office explains DMCA copyright notices at copyright.gov.

To help us assess your report, include each of the following details:

Type of Right: Identify the legal right involved in your report, such as copyright, trademark, or another protected intellectual property right.

Protected Work or Asset: Identify and describe the original work, trademark, brand asset, or other protected property. Supply details supporting your ownership or authority to act for its owner.

Exact Page Address: List the full URL of each relevant page on our website and identify the specific material being reported.

Good-Faith Statement: State that you believe in good faith that the use described in your notice has not been authorized by the rights holder, their representative, or the law.

Contact Details: Provide an email address you actively use, together with your full legal name, mailing address, and telephone number, so we can verify the report and contact you about it.

Signature and Authority: Sign the notice physically or electronically as the rights holder or their authorized representative. For a DMCA copyright notice, also confirm that the information supplied is accurate and state, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Submitting Your Notice

Use our Contact Us page to submit an intellectual property report. The information received may be examined and, when appropriate, passed to the party concerned. If the report provides sufficient detail, we may consider the identified material and supporting evidence in light of the circumstances and applicable legal requirements. Possible measures include limiting access, changing how the material is made available, or removing it. Repeated infringement may lead to consideration of further measures. Anyone submitting a report is responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of its statements, documents, and evidence, and for making the submission in good faith. Where applicable law provides, false, fraudulent, misleading, or materially inaccurate notices may result in legal consequences.
