Infringement Policy

At ZEN Yoga Gear, we are committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others and protecting our own intellectual property. Our goal is to create a fair and lawful online marketplace where our customers and content creators feel safe and respected. This Infringement Policy outlines the steps we take to handle claims of infringement and the process through which rights holders can notify us if they believe their rights are being violated.

1. Intellectual Property Rights

ZEN Yoga Gear respects the intellectual property rights of others, including trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other protected works. All content, including images, logos, product designs, descriptions, and trademarks found on our website, are protected by intellectual property laws. Unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of this content is prohibited.

We also understand that our users may create and share content, including customer photos, reviews, and other forms of user-generated content. We encourage our community to respect the intellectual property rights of others and refrain from posting or sharing content that violates those rights.

2. Reporting Infringements

If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been infringed upon by content or materials on our website, please notify us by submitting a clear and detailed written notice to our team. Your notice should include the following information:

  • A description of the intellectual property that you believe has been infringed, including any registration details (e.g., copyright number or trademark registration) if applicable.
  • A description of the infringing material and its location on our website (please include links, product details, or screenshots).
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in question is not authorized by the intellectual property owner, their agent, or the law.
  • Your contact information, including your full name, email address, and telephone number.
  • A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the intellectual property owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

Once we receive your infringement claim, we will promptly investigate the matter and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the alleged infringing content.

3. Counter-Notification

If you are a seller or user who believes that your content was removed in error or that you have the right to use the disputed content, you may file a counter-notification. To do so, you must provide the following:

  • A description of the content that was removed or disabled, including information about where the material appeared before it was removed (e.g., product page, review section, etc.).
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed due to a mistake or misidentification of the material.
  • Your contact information, including your full name, email address, and telephone number.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to post or use the content, and that you are willing to accept service of process from the party that filed the initial infringement notice.
  • A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the courts in your country, and that you will accept legal service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

Once we receive your counter-notification, we will review it and may reinstate the removed content if we determine that your claim is valid.

4. Repeat Infringement

ZEN Yoga Gear has a strict policy of terminating accounts that are found to be repeatedly infringing on intellectual property rights. If a user or seller is found to have infringed on intellectual property rights more than once, we reserve the right to permanently ban their account and remove their access to our platform.

5. Legal Compliance

This Infringement Policy is designed to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable laws regarding intellectual property. ZEN Yoga Gear reserves the right to comply with any court orders or legal actions involving intellectual property violations.

By using our website, you agree to respect the intellectual property rights of others and comply with all applicable laws regarding copyrights, trademarks, and patents.
