Intellectual Property Claim

1. Purpose of This Policy

This Intellectual Property Claim Policy provides a process for rights holders or their authorized representatives to notify Puutu about material that they believe infringes their intellectual property rights.

We take legitimate intellectual property concerns seriously and will review properly submitted claims in a reasonable manner. Depending on the circumstances, we may request additional information before taking action.

2. Types of Intellectual Property

Intellectual property may include several categories of legally protected rights. Claims submitted to Puutu may relate to, among other things:

• Copyrighted works.
• Trademarks and service marks.
• Trade names and logos.
• Product photography and original images.
• Original written content and graphics.
• Designs and other protected creative materials.
• Other intellectual property rights recognized under applicable law.

3. Website Content

Content appearing on the Puutu website may include product descriptions, photographs, graphics, logos, page layouts, text, marketing materials, and other visual or written content.

Where applicable, such materials may be owned by Puutu, licensed to Puutu, supplied by authorized partners, or otherwise used with appropriate permission.

The existence of material on the website does not necessarily mean that Puutu claims ownership of every element. Third-party content may remain the property of its respective rights holder.

4. Who May Submit a Claim?

An intellectual property claim should generally be submitted by the rights holder or by an individual or organization authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder.

If you are submitting a claim on behalf of another person or organization, please clearly identify your authority to represent the rights holder.

5. Information Required for a Claim

To help us evaluate an intellectual property complaint, please provide clear and sufficiently detailed information.

6. Copyright Claims

If your claim concerns copyrighted material, please identify the original work as specifically as possible and explain why you believe the material displayed on Puutu infringes your copyright.

Where possible, provide information that allows us to compare the original work with the material identified in your complaint.

If the copyrighted work is publicly available online, you may provide the location of the original work for reference.

7. Trademark Claims

If your concern involves a trademark, service mark, trade name, or logo, please identify the relevant mark and provide information demonstrating your rights in that mark.

Where applicable, include registration information, the relevant jurisdiction, registration number, and a description of the goods or services associated with the mark.

8. Product Images and Photography

If you believe Puutu is using a photograph or other visual material without authorization, identify the original work and explain the basis of your claim.

Please provide the exact location of the disputed image on our website so that our team can locate and review the material efficiently.

9. Good-Faith Requirement

Claims should be submitted in good faith and should contain accurate information to the best of the claimant's knowledge.

A claim should not be submitted solely to disrupt a legitimate business, interfere with another party's lawful use of content, or make unsupported allegations.

10. How to Submit a Claim

Including all relevant information in the initial submission can help us understand the concern and reduce unnecessary delays in the review process.

11. Review Process

After receiving a claim, Puutu may review the information provided to determine whether the complaint identifies a legitimate intellectual property concern.

Depending on the nature of the claim, our review may include:

1. Confirming the material identified in the complaint.
2. Reviewing the information supplied by the claimant.
3. Assessing the relationship between the claimant and the claimed right.
4. Reviewing relevant product or website information.
5. Requesting additional documentation when necessary.
6. Considering appropriate corrective action where warranted.

12. Additional Information Requests

Puutu may request additional information or documentation if the initial claim does not provide enough information for a meaningful review.

A claim may be delayed while we wait for requested information. Providing clear, complete, and accurate information at the beginning of the process can help facilitate a more efficient review.

13. Potential Actions

If Puutu determines that a legitimate intellectual property concern exists, appropriate action may be considered based on the circumstances and applicable law.

Potential actions may include reviewing, restricting, removing, replacing, correcting, or otherwise addressing the disputed material.

The specific action taken, if any, will depend on the facts of the complaint, the available evidence, the nature of the intellectual property right, and applicable legal requirements.

14. Counterclaims and Disputes

If you believe that material has been incorrectly identified as infringing, you may contact Puutu with an explanation and supporting information.

We may review information from the relevant parties before determining whether further action is appropriate.

Nothing in this policy prevents any party from exercising rights or remedies available under applicable law.

15. Third-Party Rights

Some content, services, photographs, designs, or other materials used on the Puutu website may originate from third parties or authorized service providers.

If a claim concerns material that is supplied or controlled by a third party, Puutu may need to contact or involve the relevant provider when reviewing the complaint.

16. Repeat Infringement

Puutu may take appropriate measures regarding repeated or serious intellectual property violations where circumstances warrant such action.

Any measures taken will depend on the specific circumstances and applicable legal requirements.

17. No Automatic Removal

Submitting an intellectual property claim does not automatically require Puutu to remove or disable the identified material.

Each complaint may require an individual review based on the information provided, the applicable intellectual property right, and the surrounding circumstances.

18. Confidentiality and Privacy

Information submitted in connection with an intellectual property claim may contain personal or business information. Puutu will handle submitted information in accordance with applicable privacy practices and our Privacy Policy.

Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information in a claim. Provide only the information reasonably necessary to identify the rights holder, the disputed material, and the basis of the complaint.

19. Abuse of the Claim Process

The intellectual property claim process should be used only for genuine intellectual property concerns.

Claims that are intentionally false, fraudulent, abusive, or submitted for purposes unrelated to protecting intellectual property rights may not receive further consideration.

20. Policy Updates

Puutu may update this Intellectual Property Claim Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, business operations, intellectual property procedures, or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version will be made available on this page. We encourage rights holders and website users to review this policy periodically.
