DMCA
Last updated: August 2026
Puutu respects the intellectual property rights of creators, copyright owners, and other rights holders. We expect users of our website and services to respect those rights as well.
This DMCA Policy explains how copyright owners or their authorized representatives can notify Puutu about material on puutu.com that they believe infringes their copyright and how we may respond to properly submitted notices.
1. Purpose of This DMCA Policy
Puutu operates an online retail website offering backpack bags, shoulder bags, and travel bags. Our website may contain product photographs, written content, graphics, logos, product information, and other materials.
This policy establishes a process for copyright owners to report content that they believe has been used on our website without authorization.
This policy is intended to provide a practical process for submitting copyright concerns. It does not create rights or obligations beyond those required by applicable law.
2. Copyright Protection
Copyright protects qualifying original works, including certain photographs, written works, illustrations, graphics, designs, videos, and other creative materials.
Puutu respects the rights of copyright owners and takes reasonable steps to review credible copyright complaints concerning material appearing on our website.
3. Who May Submit a DMCA Notice?
A DMCA notice should be submitted by the copyright owner or by an authorized representative acting on the copyright owner's behalf.
If you are submitting a notice for another individual or organization, please clearly identify your relationship to the copyright owner and your authority to submit the notice.
4. Requirements for a Copyright Notice
A copyright complaint should contain enough information for Puutu to identify the copyrighted work, locate the allegedly infringing material, and understand the basis of the complaint.
| Required Information | What to Provide |
|---|---|
| Copyrighted Work | A description of the original copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed. |
| Ownership | Information establishing that you own the copyright or are authorized to act for the owner. |
| Infringing Material | A clear description of the material you believe infringes the copyright. |
| Location | The specific URL or other location where the disputed material can be found. |
| Contact Information | Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address where appropriate. |
| Good-Faith Statement | A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized. |
| Accuracy Statement | A statement confirming that the information provided is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the copyright owner, where applicable. |
| Signature | A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative. |
5. Identifying the Copyrighted Work
Please describe the copyrighted work as clearly as possible. If the complaint involves an online work, providing the location where the original work can be viewed may help us understand the claim.
If multiple copyrighted works are covered by the same notice, you may provide a representative list of those works where permitted by applicable law.
6. Identifying the Allegedly Infringing Material
The notice should identify the material that you believe infringes your copyright and provide enough information for Puutu to locate it.
Whenever possible, provide the complete webpage URL rather than only a general description of the website or product category.
Helpful information: Providing the exact URL, product page, image location, or other identifiable location can help reduce delays during the review process.
7. Good-Faith Statement
A copyright notice should include a statement that the reporting party has a good-faith belief that the use of the disputed material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
Notices should be submitted only when the reporting party reasonably believes that a copyright infringement has occurred.
8. Accuracy and Authority Statement
A notice should also confirm that the information contained in the submission is accurate and, where the notice is submitted by a representative, that the reporting party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
False or intentionally misleading statements may have legal consequences. Please ensure that all information supplied in a notice is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
9. How to Submit a DMCA Notice
Copyright notices should be sent to Puutu using the contact information below. Email is the preferred method for submitting a copyright complaint.
Please use the subject line: DMCA Copyright Notice
Email: [email protected]
We recommend including all required information in a single submission whenever possible.
10. Review of DMCA Notices
Once a copyright complaint is received, Puutu may review the information provided to determine whether the notice sufficiently identifies the claimed copyright infringement.
Our review may include:
- Confirming that the identified material is accessible on our website.
- Reviewing the information regarding the claimed copyrighted work.
- Reviewing the reported URL or location.
- Assessing whether additional information is necessary.
- Contacting relevant parties when appropriate.
- Taking action consistent with applicable law and the circumstances.
11. Incomplete Notices
If a notice does not contain sufficient information to identify the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material, or the reporting party, Puutu may request additional information.
The review process may be delayed until sufficient information is received.
12. Potential Removal or Restriction
Where appropriate and consistent with applicable law, Puutu may review, restrict, remove, replace, or otherwise address material identified in a properly submitted copyright complaint.
Submission of a DMCA notice does not automatically guarantee removal of material. Each complaint may require individual consideration based on the available information and applicable legal requirements.
13. Counter-Notification
If material has been removed or restricted because of a copyright complaint and the affected party believes that the removal was made in error, the party may contact Puutu with information explaining the basis of the dispute.
Depending on the circumstances, Puutu may request information necessary to evaluate the dispute and determine whether further action is appropriate.
Any formal counter-notification should contain sufficient information to identify the affected material and explain why the reporting party believes the material was removed or restricted incorrectly.
14. Repeat Copyright Infringement
Puutu may take appropriate measures when there is credible evidence of repeated or serious copyright infringement associated with the website or its services.
Any action will depend on the circumstances and applicable law.
15. Abuse of the DMCA Process
The DMCA process should be used only for legitimate copyright concerns. Submitting knowingly false, fraudulent, or misleading copyright claims is prohibited.
Puutu may disregard or take appropriate action concerning complaints that appear to misuse the copyright reporting process.
16. Trademark and Other Intellectual Property Claims
This DMCA Policy specifically addresses copyright complaints. Claims involving trademarks, trade names, logos, designs, or other intellectual property rights may be handled separately.
For non-copyright intellectual property concerns, please review our Intellectual Property Claim policy or contact [email protected] with the relevant details.
17. Third-Party Content
Certain content displayed or used on the Puutu website may originate from third parties, suppliers, service providers, or other authorized sources.
If a copyright complaint concerns third-party material, Puutu may need to communicate with the relevant party when reviewing the claim.
18. Privacy and Submitted Information
Information submitted as part of a DMCA notice may contain personal or business information. Puutu may use such information as reasonably necessary to review and respond to the copyright complaint.
Submitted information may also be handled according to our Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.
Please avoid providing unnecessary sensitive personal information in a copyright notice.
19. No Waiver of Legal Rights
Nothing in this policy is intended to waive any rights, defenses, remedies, or obligations available to Puutu or any other party under applicable law.
This policy may be updated when necessary to reflect changes in applicable law, website operations, or our copyright procedures.
