Varldens Intellectual Property Policy
Varldens is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others, in compliance with U.S. intellectual property laws, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). We also handle intellectual property claims from jurisdictions outside the U.S. as applicable.
For claims of copyright infringement or other intellectual property violations, please contact our Legal Department at legal@varldens.com.
We reserve the right to terminate the accounts of users or customers who are deemed to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.
A. Reporting Intellectual Property Infringements
If you believe that your copyrighted work or other intellectual property has been infringed upon, please send a written notification to legal@varldens.com with the following information (as outlined in the DMCA, Section 512(c)(3)):
- (a) An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the intellectual property.
- (b) A detailed description of the copyrighted work or intellectual property that you claim has been infringed. If multiple works or intellectual properties are involved, please provide a list.
- (c) A description of the location of the material on Varldens.com that you believe is infringing, sufficient to help us locate the material.
- (d) Your contact details, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- (e) A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law.
- (f) A declaration that the information provided is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the intellectual property.
Upon receiving a valid infringement notice, Varldens may remove or disable access to the infringing material. We will notify the user responsible for the content of the removal and provide them with the details of the infringement claim.
Please note that incomplete or inaccurate notices may not be processed. Additionally, under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act, any person who knowingly misrepresents material as infringing may be subject to liability.
B. Responding to an Intellectual Property Infringement Notice
If you believe that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to legal@varldens.com. The counter-notice must include the following:
- (a) A physical or electronic signature of the Varldens user.
- (b) Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location where it previously appeared.
- (c) A statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled due to an error or misidentification.
- (d) The user’s contact information, including name, address, and phone number, along with a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal court and agreeing to accept service of process from the complainant or their agent.
If a valid counter-notice is received, Varldens may restore the removed material within 10 business days unless the intellectual property owner files a legal action to prevent its reinstatement.
Thank you for your attention to these requirements.
