4. What Happens After We Receive a Valid Notice

When we receive a compliant notice, we may remove or disable access to the reported material, notify the seller or user who posted it, and, where appropriate, share the complainant’s contact details so the parties can resolve the issue.

5. How to Submit a Counter-Notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3). Your counter-notice must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the removed material and its location before removal, including the specific URL(s).
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification.
• Your full name, mailing address, phone number, and email.
• Your consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and acceptance of service of process from the original complainant or their agent.

Send the counter-notice to our DMCA Agent. If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material within 10–14 business days unless the complainant informs us that they filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in the infringing activity.

6. Repeat-Infringer Policy

We may suspend or terminate accounts of users or sellers who receive multiple valid and uncountered infringement notices within a rolling 12-month period. Withdrawn, invalid, or successfully countered notices do not count toward this threshold.

7. Misrepresentation Warning

Submitting false claims or counter-claims may result in legal liability, including under 17 U.S.C. §512(f). Please be sure you are authorized before filing.

8. Trademark & Other IP Complaints

For trademark or other non-copyright IP issues, email legal@mavigadget.com with:

• Your signature and capacity (owner or authorized agent).
• Identification of the mark or right claimed infringed with registration details (e.g., USPTO number) if available.
• Infringing product URLs and a brief description of the confusion or misuse.
• Your full contact information.
• A good-faith, accurate statement that you are authorized to act.

We may remove or modify listings where we have a good-faith belief of infringement or policy violation.

9. Seller Responsibilities

Sellers represent and warrant that they own or have valid licenses to all content and products offered. Sellers must promptly respond to IP notices, provide licenses if requested, and remove or modify listings that infringe others’ rights. Failure to comply may result in listing removal, account suspension, or termination.

10. Third-Party Hosts and Links

Some product pages may reference or embed third-party content. We are not responsible for content hosted outside MaviGadget. Please direct notices for off-site material to the relevant host or platform.
