1. Respect for intellectual-property rights
Exotic Digital Europe Limited respects intellectual-property rights. Users and commercial participants should publish only material they own, are authorised to use, or may lawfully use. Copyrighted works, trademarks, logos, software, photographs, text and other protected material must not be used unlawfully or deceptively.
2. Submitting an intellectual-property notice
A rights holder or authorised representative may report potentially infringing material. A notice should provide sufficient information for the material and claim to be assessed, including:
- the claimant's name and contact information;
- confirmation of authority to act where the claimant represents another rights holder;
- identification of the protected work or right;
- the specific URL, account, listing or other location of the material complained about;
- an explanation of why the claimant believes the use is unauthorised; and
- supporting evidence reasonably available to the claimant.
The claimant should confirm that the information supplied is accurate and that the complaint is made in good faith.
3. Review process
Exotic may review whether a notice contains sufficient information, whether the material is accessible through a covered service and whether additional evidence or clarification is required. Complex ownership or legal disputes may require specialist or legal review.
4. Response and restriction
Where a complaint is sufficiently supported, possible action may include contacting the affected user, restricting or removing material, preserving relevant records, requesting further evidence or taking other appropriate action.
5. Correction or response by an affected user
Where appropriate, a person affected by a copyright or intellectual-property complaint may be permitted to provide evidence that the material is authorised, incorrectly identified or otherwise lawful. Exotic may consider the information from both parties before determining the appropriate platform response, subject to applicable law.
6. Repeated or serious infringement
Repeated, deliberate or commercially significant infringement may result in additional restrictions, suspension or termination under the terms applicable to the relevant service.
7. Misuse of the reporting process
Knowingly false, misleading or abusive notices may harm legitimate users and lawful expression. Exotic may reject incomplete claims, request clarification or take appropriate action where a reporting process is misused.
8. Contact
