If you believe that content available on or through our MadeStateside website, located at www.madestateside.com, or accessible via links posted on MadeStateside, infringes one or more of your intellectual property rights, you or your agents may submit a notification to MadeStateside, as set forth in this policy. Please send a notification including all of the information described in this policy (“Notification”) to our Intellectual Property Rights Agent by mail or email using the contact information provided below. A copy of your Notification may be sent to the person who posted the material addressed in the Notification.

You may be held liable for damages and attorneys’ fees if you make any material misrepresentations in a Notification. Thus, if you are not sure whether content located on or accessible via a link posted on MadeStateside infringes your copyright, you should contact an attorney.

A Notification should include the following:

  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity (or links to such material) and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material or link so that it may be removed or access to it disabled. If possible, please provide links to the exact location so that we may quickly and more easily locate the material or link.
  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law.

Further, a Notification claiming an alleged copyright violation should include the additional following information:

  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
