Intellectual Property Policy

What is a Copyright?

A copyright is an exclusive legal right given to an originator or an assignee to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or musical material, and to authorize others to do the same. Some examples of copyrightable material include, but are not limited to: photographs, articles, paintings, advertisements, and computer software. A copyright is distinct from a trademark (see below: What is a Trademark?).

It is important to note that FORKLARADE.COM does not determine copyright ownership. We will remove content, as required law, from our site if we receive a complete and valid takedown notice. The party whose material has been removed then has the ability to respond with a counter notice. If and when we receive a valid counter notification, we will forward it to the person who submitted the original takedown request. If the dispute continues, it will be up to the two parties to settle the issue.

FORKLARADE.COM respects the copyright of others and we expect our users to do the same. FORKLARADE.COM has adopted a policy towards alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). We reserve the right to remove, suspend, terminate access, or take other appropriate actions against users or third parties that we believe, in good faith, to be infringing copyrighted material.

1.

Identification of the copyrighted work(s) or material(s) claimed to be infringed;

6.

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

After Properly sending a Copyright Complaint to Designated Agent

It is our policy to: (1) remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing work or material; (2) notify the content provider, member, or user that we have removed or disabled access to the work or material; and (3) in the case of repeat infringers, remove the allegedly infringing material and terminate such content provider’s access to the service

Please note that, if we take action on your request, our notification to the content provider, member or user includes a complete copy of your Copyright Complaint (which may include your name, address, phone and email address). If you do not wish that your contact information be provided, you might want to consider using an agent to report the Complaint on your behalf.

Counter-Notification Policy

If you believe your material which was removed is either not infringing or you believe you have the right from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent or pursuant to the law to post such material, you must submit a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent listed below:

1.

Identification of the material that was mistakenly removed or disabled from access, in writing;

2.

A description that reasonably identifies the material that has been removed, or to which access has been disabled, and the location of the material prior to its removal;

3.

6.

A physical or electronic signature of the content provider, member or user.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may send a copy of such notice to the original complaining party informing them that we may restore the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed material may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days, or more, after receipt of the counter-notice.

Repeat Infringers

When appropriate, we will terminate a repeat infringer’s access to its accounts. If you believe that a user is a repeat infringer, please follow the instructions above to contact us and provide information sufficient for us to verify that the user is a repeat infringer.

What is a Trademark?

A trademark is a word, slogan, symbol or design that distinguishes the products or services offered one party from those offered others. The main function of a trademark is to prevent confusion between consumers as to the origin of a certain product or service. An individual or company may receive protection for its trademark through registration with a recognized trademark office; however registration is not required to create trademark rights. A trademark is different than a copyright and it is important to note that the takedown provisions in the DMCA do not cover alleged trademark infringements.

To File a Trademark Complaint

To report a claim of trademark infringement, please provide the following items:

1.

Your complete contact information, including: full name, telephone number, address and email. If you are not the owner of the trademark that has allegedly been infringed, please describe your relationship to the trademark owner;

2.

The specific word, symbol, etc. to which you claim trademark rights;

3.

The basis of your trademark rights, including, if applicable, the application or registration number;

4.

The country in which you claim trademark rights;

5.

The products and/or services covered your claimed trademark rights;

6.

Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including information regarding the location of the allegedly infringing materials that you seek to have removed, with sufficient detail so that we are capable of finding such material. The easiest way to do this is to provide a URL which leads directly to the allegedly infringing content;

7.

A statement detailing why the use of the trademark(s) at issue in the allegedly infringing materials creates consumer confusion as to source, origin, affiliation or endorsement;

8.

A statement representing that the trademark(s) at issue was registered and/or in use prior to the alleged infringement;

9.

The following statement: “I represent that the information in this notification is true and correct and that I am authorized to act on behalf of the trademark owner.”; and

10.

Your electronic or physical signature.

If we receive all of the above requested information, we will process your claim and consider whether to remove the allegedly infringing material. If we remove the content, we will issue a warning to the party that posted the content alerting them the material was removed due to a claim of trademark infringement. We may provide them with your contact information, including your name and email address. If they believe the content was improperly removed, they will be encouraged to contact you directly to resolve the issue.

BY INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OR USING ANY OF THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS, WHICH CONTAIN BINDING DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS AND LIABILITY LIMITATIONS.

1.

Electronic Acceptance Is Binding. Your indication of your assent to the terms, whether express (e.g., clicking on an “I AGREE” icon) or implicit (i.e., using any Product or Service) constitutes your agreement to the Terms. You agree that such acceptance will have the same force and effect as if you had manually signed a paper version of these Terms. All references in the Terms to “signature” or the like will be deemed references to your assent to these terms. You hereirrevocably waive any “opt-out” rights that you may have under applicable law to use or receive physical copies of these Terms.

2.

Electronic Transactions. You agree that all business pursuant to these terms may, in the sole discretion of FORKLARADE.COM, be conducted electronically. We will charge your credit or debit card for amounts you incur in purchasing Products or Services. These charges may be conducted as automated clearing house transfers or such other means as we in our sole discretion determine to be appropriate or advisable. You agree that you will be bound the NACHA Operating Rules as such rules are amended from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, you make all representations and warranties of a receiver under the NACHA rules whenever you initiate or authorize an ACH debit to your bank account. The NACHA Operating Rules are available at https://www.nacha.org/achrules.

As permitted our Privacy Policy, we will also save your credit or debit card information and use it for all future charges, which will automatically be charged to your saved card unless you notify FORKLARADE.COM customer service. Your right to cancel any recurring charges are provided in the applicable Product and/or Service Terms. We are not responsible for any fees or charges your bank or credit card issuer may apply. If your credit card issuer reverses a charge to your credit card, we may bill your account directly and seek payment another method such as a mailed statement. We may also cease providing Products to you.
