Trademark

If you are a trademark owner and you believe in good faith that any content on our Platform infringes on your trademark rights, please inform us in writing at the contact details set out above. Your notice must include:

Identification of the trademark(s) claimed to have been infringed, and, if registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or similar foreign entity, the registration number of the mark(s).
Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information sufficient to permit us to locate the material, such as the specific URL where the trademark appears on the Platform.
A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the trademark in the manner complained of is an infringement of the rights granted under United States or foreign trademark law.
A statement that the information in the letter is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the allegedly infringed trademark.
A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the trademark that is allegedly infringed.

Once you submit the report to us, our team will begin a brief investigation and will take action that it deems appropriate under the circumstances. If more information is needed from you, we will reach out via email.

Please note that we are not in a position to adjudicate complicated trademark disputes between third parties. Therefore, we are not in a position to act on reports that require a complex legal analysis or factual investigation. In those instances, we encourage you to contact the third party directly to try and resolve the matter.
