TradeJoint respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect our
users to do the same. We have instituted the following procedures to facilitate
cooperation between TradeJoint and you in protecting your intellectual property
rights:
- Voluntary review and removal by TradeJoint of listings that appear to offer
infringing items
- Prompt removal of such listings where an appropriate intellectual property
infringement claim is filed by intellectual property rights owners against
the user of TradeJoint`s service who submitted such listings
- Written notification to users submitting infringing listings that the items
are prohibited on the TradeJoint website and are thereby removed
- Written notification to users whose listings are claimed to infringe the
intellectual property rights of others, and provision of an opportunity to
respond to such charges
- Termination, when appropriate, of the accounts of users of the TradeJoint.com
service who appear to be repeat infringers.
TradeJoint is not an expert in your intellectual property rights, and we cannot
verify that the users of our online marketplace - who post literally Hundreds
of trade leads for items on the TradeJoint website each day - have
the right to sell the goods offered. We appreciate your assistance in identifying
listings which may not appear on their face to infringe your rights but which
you believe are infringing. TradeJoint is also not an arbiter or judge of disputes
about intellectual property rights. By taking down a listing, as a prudential
matter, TradeJoint is not endorsing a claim of infringement. Neither, in those
instances in which TradeJoint declines to take down a listing, is TradeJoint
determining that the listing is not infringing, nor is TradeJoint endorsing
the sale of goods in such cases.
We ask those who assert claims of infringement and ask TradeJoint to stop
others from listing trade leads on our marketplace to stand behind their
claims. By submitting a report of alleged infringement to TradeJoint and
asking TradeJoint to take down a listing, you agree to indemnify TradeJoint against
claims or damages arising from the removal of the accused listing.
Procedures for reporting an alleged infringement to TradeJoint:
- If you have a good faith belief that a listing on TradeJoint infringes your
copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual property rights, you may
download our Notice of Claimed IPR Infringement (the "Notice")
form, complete it, and email (report@TradeJoint.com)
it to TradeJoint. The completed Notice should specifically identify the vendor
and claimed infringing product listing (i.e., product description, model
number, etc.). Click here to download TradeJoint`s
Notice of Claimed Infringement Form.
- Upon receipt of the Notice, we will promptly evaluate your complaint, and
in cases where it appropriate, we will expeditiously take down the listing
referred to in the Notice.
- We will notify the vendor in writing of the removal of the claimed infringing
product listing and provide the vendor with your contact information so that
the vendor may contact you directly and with an opportunity to respond.
- If the vendor objects to the removal of the alleged infringing product
listing, the vendor may submit to us an appropriate counter-notice to dispute
the claim. Upon receipt of such counter-notice, we may resume the vendor`s
listing unless we receive notice from you that an action has been filed against
the vendor in a court of competent jurisdiction for infringement of your
intellectual property rights.
