At Smart Trash Bins, we are committed to protecting the rights of intellectual property owners. We take claims of infringement seriously and comply with applicable laws regarding copyright and trademark protection. This Infringement Policy outlines the procedures for reporting any alleged infringements concerning our products, services, or website content.
What Constitutes Infringement?
Infringement occurs when an individual or entity uses another’s intellectual property without permission, violating the rights held by the original creator or owner. This can include, but is not limited to, the unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or display of copyrighted materials, trademarked logos, or patented inventions.
Reporting Infringements
If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been violated by content on our website or in connection with our products, please submit a written notice to us. Your notice should include the following information:
- Identification of the Infringing Material: Provide a detailed description of the material that you believe infringes upon your rights, including its location on our website (e.g., URL or page number).
- Your Contact Information: Include your name, address, phone number, and email address so that we can reach you regarding your claim.
- Statement of Ownership: Clearly state your ownership of the intellectual property in question and explain how it has been infringed upon. If you are acting on behalf of an owner, please provide documentation that establishes your authority to act on their behalf.
- A Good Faith Statement: Include a statement that you believe, in good faith, that the disputed use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
- Signature: If submitting a physical letter, please sign your name. For electronic submissions, typing your name is sufficient.
Once we receive your written notice, we will review the information provided and take appropriate action. We may remove or disable access to the infringing material, notify the alleged infringer, or take other necessary steps to address the situation.
Counter-Notification
If you believe that material has been mistakenly removed or that your use of the material does not infringe upon any intellectual property rights, you may submit a counter-notification. Your counter-notification must include:
- Your contact information.
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and its location before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
- Your consent to jurisdiction in the federal court in your area or the location of Smart Trash Bins, and that you will accept service of process from the party who provided the original notification.
We will review your counter-notification and, if valid, restore the removed content within a reasonable timeframe.
