1. Purpose of This Policy

This policy provides a process for individuals, businesses, and authorized representatives to notify Driesbrewing of content on our website that they believe violates their intellectual property rights.

Intellectual property may include copyrights, trademarks, product designs, photographs, illustrations, written materials, graphics, logos, and other protected creative or commercial assets.

We take intellectual property concerns seriously. When a report identifies potentially infringing material and includes enough information for review, we may investigate the matter and take appropriate steps based on the circumstances and applicable requirements.

Submitting a claim does not automatically establish that infringement has occurred. We may request additional information before deciding what action, if any, is appropriate.

2. Types of Intellectual Property Claims

Copyright infringement

A copyright claim may concern original creative work, such as product photography, written descriptions, illustrations, artwork, graphics, or other content that you own or are authorized to represent.

Trademark infringement

A trademark claim may concern the unauthorized use of a protected brand name, logo, symbol, or other identifying mark in a way that may create confusion about a product's source, sponsorship, or affiliation.

Product design or other intellectual property

You may also contact us about other intellectual property concerns, including protected product designs or content that you believe has been used without authorization. Please explain the right involved and provide relevant supporting information.

3. Who Can Submit a Claim?

A claim may be submitted by an intellectual property owner or by a representative authorized to act on the owner's behalf. If you are submitting a report for another person or organization, please identify your relationship to the rights holder and confirm that you have authority to submit the claim.

Information for rights holders

Please provide enough information to identify yourself, the intellectual property involved, and the content you believe infringes your rights.

Information for authorized representatives

If you represent a company, brand, creator, or other rights holder, include your name, role, organization, and a description of your authority to act on their behalf. We may request further confirmation where reasonably necessary.

Reports submitted by other parties

If you believe content may infringe someone else's rights but are not authorized to act for that person or organization, you may contact us with the relevant information. We may consider the report, but we may be unable to discuss confidential details or take action based solely on an unverified allegation.

4. Information Required for a Claim

To help us assess your report efficiently, please include the information below. Incomplete submissions may delay our review or prevent us from identifying the material in question.

Please provide only information relevant to your claim. Do not send payment card details, passwords, or other sensitive information that is unnecessary for reviewing the reported material.

5. How to Submit an Intellectual Property Claim

Send your claim to our customer support email address. Use a clear subject line such as "Intellectual Property Claim" and include the information listed in this policy.

Step 1: Identify the material

Provide the direct URL of each relevant product page or webpage. If the issue concerns an image, logo, or other specific element, describe its location on the page.

Step 2: Explain your rights

Identify the intellectual property involved and explain why you believe you own the rights or are authorized to enforce them. Include supporting documentation where available.

Step 3: Submit supporting evidence

Attach relevant documents or provide accessible references that help us verify your claim. Please ensure that any submitted files are readable and directly related to the reported material.

Step 4: Provide your contact details

Include a valid email address so we can contact you if we need clarification or additional information.

Step 5: Allow time for review

After receiving your report, we will assess the information provided. Review times may vary depending on the nature of the claim, the completeness of the submission, and whether additional information is needed.

6. Review and Possible Actions

Driesbrewing reviews intellectual property reports based on the details submitted, the material identified, and the circumstances of each case. We may contact the reporting party for clarification or request additional evidence before reaching a decision.

What actions may be taken?

Depending on the circumstances, possible actions may include:

• Requesting additional details or documentation from the claimant.
• Reviewing the identified product page, image, text, or other material.
• Temporarily restricting access to material while a concern is reviewed, where appropriate.
• Removing or modifying content when we determine that action is warranted.
• Declining a claim when the information provided is insufficient or does not establish a basis for action.
• Taking other reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances and applicable requirements.

Will every claim result in removal?

No. We assess reports individually. A claim may be declined or require further information if the reported content cannot be identified, the rights asserted are unclear, the submission lacks supporting details, or the available information does not establish a sufficient basis for the requested action.

Will we confirm the outcome?

Where appropriate, we may respond to the claimant regarding the status or outcome of the report. Our ability to share details may be limited by privacy, confidentiality, or other applicable considerations.

7. Counter-Notifications and Disputes

What if you believe a report is incorrect?

If content associated with you has been reported, restricted, or removed and you believe the action was based on a mistake or misunderstanding, you may contact us to explain your position.

What should a response include?

Include the relevant page URL, a description of the action you are questioning, the reason you believe the claim is inaccurate, and any supporting documentation that may help us reassess the matter.

What happens after a response is received?

We may review the additional information, request clarification from the parties involved, or maintain the original decision if the available evidence supports it. Submitting a response does not guarantee that content will be restored or that an earlier decision will be changed.

8. Repeat or Multiple Infringement Reports

We may consider previous reports and the circumstances of repeated intellectual property concerns when deciding how to respond to future issues.

Where appropriate, we may take additional steps in relation to content or activity that repeatedly appears to infringe intellectual property rights. Any action will depend on the facts available, the nature of the concern, and applicable requirements.

Rights holders reporting multiple items should identify each relevant URL or item separately and explain how each one relates to the rights asserted. A well-organized report can help us identify and assess the material more efficiently.

9. Misrepresentation and Good-Faith Reporting

Please submit claims honestly and only when you have a reasonable basis to believe that the identified material infringes rights you own or are authorized to enforce.

Claims should contain accurate information and should not knowingly misrepresent ownership, authorization, or the nature of the alleged infringement.

Submitting false, misleading, or abusive reports may delay the review of legitimate claims and may have consequences under applicable requirements. Driesbrewing may take appropriate steps in response to reports that appear to be knowingly inaccurate or submitted for an improper purpose.

10. Third-Party Content and Independent Rights

Some content displayed on our website may relate to third-party brands, products, services, or intellectual property. The appearance of a name, mark, image, or reference on our website does not necessarily indicate ownership of that intellectual property by Driesbrewing.

If your claim concerns material provided by an external party or content hosted outside Driesbrewing.com, please identify the specific material and explain its connection to our website. We will review the portion of the matter within our control.

We cannot guarantee that we can resolve disputes involving third-party websites, independent sellers, or external services. You may need to contact the relevant provider or rights holder directly where the issue falls outside our control.

11. Privacy and Handling of Claim Information

We use information submitted with an intellectual property claim to identify the reported material, evaluate the concern, communicate with the parties involved, and determine appropriate next steps.

Please submit only the personal information and supporting documents reasonably necessary for us to review your report. Avoid including unrelated confidential information or sensitive personal details that are not needed for the claim.

We may retain claim-related correspondence and supporting records as reasonably necessary for review, documentation, dispute handling, and other legitimate business purposes, subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable requirements.

Where necessary and appropriate, we may share relevant information with parties involved in a claim or with professional advisers to help assess or respond to the matter. We cannot guarantee that every submitted detail will remain confidential in all circumstances.

12. No Legal Advice

This policy describes Driesbrewing's general process for receiving and reviewing intellectual property concerns. It is provided for informational purposes and is not legal advice.

Submitting a report does not create a representative relationship between the claimant and Driesbrewing, and we do not determine legal ownership conclusively through this internal review process.

If you need advice about your intellectual property rights, the strength of a claim, or the appropriate legal process, consider consulting a qualified legal professional.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Intellectual Property Claim Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, review procedures, business operations, or applicable requirements.

The revised version will be published on this page. We encourage visitors, rights holders, and authorized representatives to review the policy periodically before submitting a report.

Any revision will apply subject to applicable requirements and will not remove rights or protections that cannot legally be excluded.
