P. DMCA Notice and Takedown Procedure

Blusimba supports the protection of intellectual property and asks Blusimba Business Owners to do the same. It’s our policy to respond to all notices of alleged copyright infringement. If someone believes that one of our Business owners is infringing their intellectual property rights, they can send a DMCA Notice to Blusimba’s designated agent using our form. Upon receiving a DMCA Notice, we may remove or disable access to the Materials claimed to be a copyright infringement. Once provided with a notice of takedown, the Business owner can reply with a counter notification using our form if they object to the complaint. The original complainant has 14 business days to make a counter notification, otherwise we restore the material.

WHICH MEANS

Blusimba respects intellectual property rights and you should too. If we receive a DMCA Notice, we may disable access or remove the allegedly infringing content from your website. If you don’t think the claim is valid, you can proceed with a counter notification.

If you believe one of our merchants is infringing your intellectual property rights, you can send Blusimba a DMCA Notice. We will expeditiously disable access or remove the content and notify the merchant.
