It is Very Goods’s policy to respond to notices of alleged copyright or other forms of intellectual property infringement provided they comply with applicable laws (most notably, the United States’ Digital Millennium Copyright Act or “DMCA”). Repeat offenders will, at Very Goods’s option, have their user accounts and/or access to the Site and the Services removed or disabled irrespective of the status of any particular notification or counter-notification. If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been infringed, please provide Very Goods with written notice of same with the following information:
- The full name, mailing address, telephone number, contact email address and physical or electronic signature of an owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed, or a person or entity specifically authorized to act on that owner’s behalf;
- Identification of the works claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Very Goods to locate said material;
- A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the rights holder, his/her/its agent, or the law;
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; and
- Any supporting documentation to help establish the rights at issue, such as copies of a valid and duly executed copyright registration certificate.
