Intellectual Property Infringement Policy

If you believe that Gebone has infringed upon your intellectual property rights, please follow the procedure outlined below to report the issue:

A. Reporting Intellectual Property Infringement

We take intellectual property rights seriously. Upon receiving a valid complaint, we will:

  • Block or remove any content (including text, graphics, photos, etc.) that we believe, in good faith, infringes on third-party intellectual property rights.
  • Discontinue service to repeat infringers.

If you believe that content on our website infringes on your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please send a notice containing the following information to our Designated Agent:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property you claim has been infringed, including registration numbers (if applicable).
  • Identification of the content that you believe infringes on your rights, with a description of how it uses the copyrighted material and a clear location (e.g., specific URL) on the website where the material can be found.
  • Your contact information, including your full name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement confirming that you have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted work is not authorized by the copyright holder or the law.
  • A statement made under penalty of perjury, confirming that the provided information is accurate, and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on their behalf.
  • Your electronic or physical signature.

B. Upon Receipt of a Bona Fide Infringement Notification

Once a proper notice of infringement is received, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content.

C. Counter-Notice Procedure

If we believe the removed or disabled content is not infringing, or if we have the right to use the content, we may send a counter-notice to the Designated Agent, which includes:

  • Identification of the content that was removed or disabled, and the specific location (e.g., URL) where it was located on the website before removal.
  • A statement made under penalty of perjury, confirming that we have a good faith belief that the content was mistakenly identified or removed.
  • Our contact information, including full name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement confirming our consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which our address is located.
  • Our electronic or physical signature.

If a counter-notice is received, we may restore the content or cease blocking access within 10-14 business days unless the rights owner files a lawsuit seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
