DMCA

1. Respect for Copyright

Copyright protects original creative works in many forms, including photographs, written materials, artwork, illustrations, graphics, videos, and other eligible works. Ogelvies recognizes the importance of protecting legitimate copyright interests.

We aim to address credible copyright concerns in a reasonable manner and encourage copyright owners or their authorized representatives to contact us when they believe protected material has been used on our website without appropriate authorization.

2. What Is a DMCA Notice?

A DMCA notice is a copyright infringement notification submitted by a copyright owner or an authorized representative identifying material that the claimant believes infringes their copyright.

A properly prepared notice should provide enough information to identify both the copyrighted work and the material allegedly infringing that work. This allows the reported material to be located and the complaint to be evaluated.

3. Copyrighted Works Covered by a Notice

Copyright complaints may concern original works that are protected under applicable copyright law. Examples may include:

• Original photographs and product photography.
• Original written articles and website content.
• Illustrations and artwork.
• Graphics and visual designs.
• Videos and other audiovisual materials.
• Other original creative works protected by copyright.

The claimant should identify the copyrighted work clearly enough for Ogelvies to understand what work is being referenced.

4. Information Required in a DMCA Notice

To help us review a copyright complaint, please provide the information listed below. A notice containing clear and specific information can generally be reviewed more efficiently.

5. Identifying the Copyrighted Work

Your notice should identify the original copyrighted work as clearly as possible. If the work is published online, providing a webpage address or other reference may help us understand and verify the material being claimed.

If the complaint concerns multiple copyrighted works, please provide enough information to identify each work or clearly describe the group of works covered by the notice.

6. Identifying the Allegedly Infringing Material

Please identify the specific material on Ogelvies.com that you believe infringes your copyright. A direct URL is preferred when available because it helps us locate the reported content accurately.

If a direct URL is not available, provide the product name, page title, image description, text description, or other information that will allow us to identify the material.

7. Statement of Good-Faith Belief

A copyright notice should include a statement that the claimant has a good-faith belief that the use of the identified material is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner's agent, or applicable law.

This statement is important because it confirms that the claimant has considered whether the use may be authorized or otherwise permitted before submitting the complaint.

8. Statement Regarding Accuracy

The notice should also confirm that the information provided is accurate to the best of the claimant's knowledge and, where the notice is submitted by a representative, that the representative is authorized to act for the copyright owner.

Claimants should carefully review all information before submitting a notice and should avoid including statements that are knowingly false or misleading.

9. Electronic Signature

A copyright notice should include an appropriate physical or electronic signature from the copyright owner or an authorized representative.

An electronic signature may be included in the email communication or in an attached document where appropriate.

10. Claims Submitted by Authorized Representatives

A copyright owner may submit a notice personally or authorize another individual or organization to submit the complaint on their behalf.

If you are acting as an authorized representative, please clearly identify the copyright owner and explain your authority to submit the notice. Ogelvies may request additional information when reasonably necessary to verify the relationship.

11. Review of a Copyright Notice

Once a copyright complaint is received, Ogelvies may review the information provided and attempt to locate the identified material.

We may request clarification or additional information when a notice does not contain enough detail to identify the relevant work or material. The time required to review a complaint may vary depending on the completeness and complexity of the information provided.

Submission of a notice does not automatically guarantee removal or restriction of the reported material. Ogelvies may consider the circumstances and information available before determining an appropriate response.

12. Possible Actions

Depending on the circumstances and information available, Ogelvies may take appropriate action concerning material identified in a copyright complaint.

• Request additional information from the claimant.
• Review the reported material.
• Contact a relevant party for clarification.
• Remove or restrict access to material where appropriate.
• Modify or replace the reported content.
• Take other reasonable action based on the circumstances.

The action taken may depend on the nature of the claim, the information provided, the status of the material, and other relevant circumstances.

13. Counter Notification

If content has been removed or access has been restricted as a result of a copyright complaint, the affected party may have the ability to submit information disputing the claim where applicable.

A counter notification should identify the affected material and explain why the person submitting the response believes that the material was removed or restricted in error or should otherwise be reconsidered.

Ogelvies may review any response received and may request additional information where appropriate.

14. False or Misleading Copyright Notices

Copyright notices should only be submitted when the claimant has a legitimate and reasonable basis for believing that their copyrighted work has been infringed.

Knowingly submitting false ownership information, inaccurate statements, fabricated evidence, or misleading claims may have legal consequences under applicable law.

15. Fair Use and Other Permitted Uses

Not every use of copyrighted material necessarily constitutes copyright infringement. Certain uses may be authorized by the copyright owner, permitted under applicable law, or otherwise subject to legal exceptions or limitations.

Ogelvies may consider relevant information concerning authorization or other applicable circumstances when reviewing a copyright complaint.

16. Product Photography Claims

If you believe that a photograph appearing on an Ogelvies product page is your copyrighted work and has been used without authorization, please identify the specific image and explain your ownership or rights in that photograph.

Where possible, provide information about the original publication or source of the photograph and identify the Ogelvies page where the image appears.

17. Written Content Claims

Copyright complaints may also concern original written content. If you believe that text on Ogelvies.com reproduces your copyrighted work without authorization, please identify the specific content and provide information about the original work.

General similarities in wording or subject matter may not by themselves establish copyright infringement. A complaint should identify the specific copyrighted expression that is alleged to have been used improperly.

18. Third-Party Material

Some materials displayed on Ogelvies.com may be provided by third parties, suppliers, service providers, or other external parties.

If you believe third-party material displayed through our website infringes your copyright, please provide the same level of specific information described in this policy so that the relevant material can be identified and reviewed.

19. Trademark and Other Intellectual Property Matters

This DMCA Policy specifically addresses copyright-related complaints. Trademark disputes, patent matters, design rights, publicity rights, and other intellectual property concerns may involve different legal standards and procedures.

If your concern does not involve copyright, please identify the nature of the intellectual property issue when contacting Ogelvies so that the matter can be directed appropriately.

20. Information Submitted With a Notice

Information provided in connection with a copyright complaint may be used to investigate, evaluate, and respond to the reported issue.

Claimants should provide information that is reasonably necessary to support the complaint and should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive or personal information.

21. Communication During the Review

Ogelvies may contact the claimant if additional information or clarification is needed. Please provide a reliable email address and other appropriate contact information when submitting a notice.

Failure to provide sufficient contact information may make it difficult for us to request clarification or communicate the outcome of the review.

22. Policy Updates

Ogelvies may update this DMCA Policy when necessary to reflect changes to our website, intellectual property practices, services, or applicable requirements.

Any revised version may be published on this page. Customers and rights holders are encouraged to review the current version when submitting a new copyright-related complaint.
