Send your copyright infringement notice to:

support@barelywearable.com

Suggested email subject:

DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice

Please include all required information and supporting documentation in the notice.

6. Identification of the Copyrighted Work

Your notice should clearly identify the original copyrighted material.

Useful information may include:

• Title of the work
• Original publication URL
• Publication date
• Copyright registration number, if available
• Original photographs
• Original source files
• Publication records
• Other evidence showing ownership

A copyright registration is not always required to submit a notice, but supporting documentation may help us evaluate the claim.

Please identify the exact content you believe infringes your copyright.

Where possible, provide:

• Direct URL
• Product page URL
• Screenshot
• Description of the material
• Location of the material on the page

General statements such as “your website uses my content” without identifying the relevant content may be insufficient for review.

8. Good-Faith Statement

A valid notice should include a statement confirming that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by:

• The copyright owner
• The copyright owner's agent
• Applicable law

This statement should be made truthfully and in good faith.

9. Accuracy and Authority Statement

Your notice should also state that:

• The information in the notice is accurate
• You are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

Where legally applicable, this statement should be made under penalty of perjury.

10. Electronic Signature

An electronic signature may generally be provided by typing your full legal name at the end of the notice, where legally sufficient.

A physical signature may also be used.

11. Review of a DMCA Notice

After receiving a sufficiently complete notice, Barelywearable may:

• Review the identified material
• Review the copyright ownership information

• Contact the claimant
• Contact the person or source responsible for the content
• Temporarily restrict access to the content
• Remove or disable access to material where appropriate
• Preserve relevant records

The response will depend on the circumstances and applicable law.

12. No Automatic Removal

Submitting a copyright notice does not automatically guarantee removal.

We may need to determine whether:

• The notice contains required information
• The claimant has identified a valid copyright interest
• The allegedly infringing material has been properly identified
• The use may be authorized
• A legal exception may apply
• Additional information is required

13. Counter-Notification

If content is removed or disabled because of a copyright complaint, an affected party may be able to submit a counter-notification where permitted by applicable law.

A counter-notification should generally include:

15. Restoration of Material

Where a valid counter-notification is received, the removed material may be restored where permitted by law.

Restoration may depend on whether the original claimant provides notice of legal action within the timeframe required by applicable law.

No restoration is guaranteed where other legal, contractual, security, or policy grounds independently justify removal.

16. Repeat Infringers

Where appropriate and legally required, we may take action regarding repeat copyright infringement.

Action may include:

• Content removal
• Restriction of access
• Removal of product listings
• Termination of supplier or service relationships
• Other reasonable measures

17. False or Misleading Claims

Copyright notices and counter-notifications must be accurate and submitted in good faith.

Knowingly submitting materially false information may result in legal consequences.

Do not submit a copyright complaint unless you have a legitimate basis for claiming ownership or authorization.

18. Abuse of the DMCA Process

The copyright complaint process must not be used to:

• Harass competitors
• Remove lawful content without a valid basis
• Suppress criticism unlawfully
• Make knowingly false ownership claims
• Interfere improperly with legitimate business activity
• Submit fraudulent notices

We may decline to act on notices that appear abusive, fraudulent, incomplete, or unsupported.

19. Fair Use and Other Lawful Uses

Some uses of copyrighted material may be permitted under applicable law.

Examples may include certain uses for:

• Criticism
• News reporting
• Education
• Research
