As a venue for artists, designers, and makers, Ead takes intellectual property rights very seriously. We comply with intellectual property laws and industry best practices in order to maintain the integrity of our creative marketplace. This Intellectual Property Policy explains how we address allegations of infringement, how authorized parties can submit reports of infringement regarding content on our marketplace, and how Ead sellers can respond when their listings or shops are affected by a report.

For more information on use of Ead’s intellectual property, including guidelines for the use of Ead’s Trademarks and brand, please refer to http://3.233.241.152/trademark-policy/

This policy is a part of our http://3.233.241.152/term-conditions/

1. Ead’s Role

Ead is a marketplace comprised of individual third¬-party sellers who run their own shops, create their own policies, and are responsible for their inventory, shipments, and complying with the law. We provide a venue, but Ead does not manufacture goods, hold inventory, or ship items on behalf of our sellers. The content uploaded on Ead’s marketplace is generated by independent sellers who are not employees, agents, or representatives of Ead. Sellers are responsible for ensuring they have all necessary rights to their content and that they are not infringing or violating any third party’s rights by posting it.

Ead reserves the right to disable any listing, shop, or account that we believe violates our http://3.233.241.152/term-conditions/, including this http://3.233.241.152/intellectual-property-policy/ or our http://3.233.241.152/purchase-protection-program-for-sellers/. Ead also reserves the right to take action against abusers of Ead’s Intellectual Property Policy or our Terms of Use.

Ead can’t speak on behalf of intellectual property owners, nor is Ead in a position to offer legal advice or make legal determinations whether a shop’s content infringes someone else’s intellectual property. Ead will remove material cited for alleged intellectual property infringement when provided with a report that complies with our policies.

2. Reports of Intellectual Property Infringement

Ead strives to respond quickly when we receive a report of intellectual property infringement that complies with our policies by removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material. When Ead removes or disables access in response to a report, Ead makes a reasonable attempt to contact the affected member, provide information about the report and removal, and, in cases of alleged copyright infringement, provide information about how to submit a counter notice. Ead may also provide a copy of the infringement report, including the name and email address of the reporting party, to the affected member.

To submit a report of alleged infringement against usernames, shop names, videos on an Ead shop page, or videos from an Explore post on Ead, use contact us page.

To submit a report of alleged infringement against Ead shop listings, you can use the contact us page. This is the easiest way to provide notice of claimed infringement to Ead and its Designated Agent under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other intellectual property rights.

Ead may request additional information before processing a report, such as identity verification of the reporting party or documentation regarding the claimed right. Ead may reject reports of infringement or counter notices that contain information we believe is false, fraudulent, incomplete, or otherwise submitted in bad faith. Ead also reserves the right to take action against abusers of this policy.

3. Counter Notice

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Ead accepts counter notices for copyright infringement reports only. When Ead receives a DMCA counter notice, we will provide a copy of the counter notice to the original complaining party. The removed material may be replaced or access to it may be restored 10 business days after the counter notice is processed, unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the allegedly infringing party and informs Ead of this action.

4. Repeat Infringement

Ead terminates selling privileges of members who are subject to repeat or multiple notices of intellectual property infringement in appropriate circumstances and at Ead’s discretion. If we believe a member has attempted to open a new shop after termination of the initial account, we reserve the right to refuse all services to that member. These actions apply to any accounts we believe are associated with or operated by the affected member. Per our http://3.233.241.152/term-conditions/, Ead reserves the right to terminate account privileges at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

5. Withdrawals

Ead only accepts withdrawals of infringement reports directly from the intellectual property owner or authorized representative who submitted the claim. The withdrawal must clearly state that it is a formal withdrawal and sufficiently identify the member and/or material (such as by providing the username, shop name, and Ead listing URLs).

Once Ead receives a formal withdrawal of an infringement report, Ead makes reasonable attempts to contact both parties involved to confirm receipt from the party submitting the withdrawal and to inform the member affected by the withdrawal. Please note that infringement matters are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and withdrawals do not guarantee changes to a member’s shop status.
