1. Our Policy. 

1.1 Intellectual Property at Tournament Finder Limited.

Intellectual property rights are considered to have the upmost importance at Tournament Finder. we have, therefore, created a simple process to handle complaints of alleged infringement of certain third-party intellectual property rights on the Tournament Finder platform. This procedure covers allegations of infringement of copyrights (e.g., written text, photographs, sound recordings and video clips) and trademarks/servicemarks (e.g., logos, slogans and names identifying a good or service). If terms are capitalised but not defined in this Agreement then their definitions will be found in the Terms of Service.

1.2 Third Party Content.

This includes all data, text, editorial content, formatting graphics, design elements, images, photographs, videos, music, sounds, and any other content that relates to an event on the Services that are posted by the Consumers, Organisers, or other third party, and thus not by Tournament Finder Limited (known collectively as “Third Party Content”).

1.3 Purpose.

This policy outlines the process required to request Tournament Finder to remove allegedly infringing Third Party Content, if a third party that believes their trademark and/or copyright is being infringed by Third Party Content. 

2. Re-Posting and Removal of Third Party Content. 

2.1 How To Get Allegedly Infringing Content Removed.

Those that believe in good faith that any Third Party Content on Tournament Finder made available via our Services that infringes your copyright or trademark rights, you (or your agent) may send us a takedown notice. This notice may request that the Third Party Content be removed, or access to it be blocked. The takedown notice you provide must contain the following information to enable Tournament Finder to take action:

a) your contact information (i.e., name and address, telephone number and/or email address);

b) registration number and registration office that will enable Tournament Finder to identify the Copyright works or trademark;

1. 
   c) The URL of the infringing material along with any other information that will allow us to identify the infringing material;
2. 
   d) A statement outlining that in good faith you believe that the content you are reporting to be infringing trademark or Copyright is not authorised by the owner of the content, its agent or the law;
3. 
   e) A statement given under penalty of perjury on the accuracy of the takedown notice, that should include you stating that you are the owner of the allegedly infringed content or that you are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf. The statement should include a physical or electronic signature of the person that is submitting the take down notice.  

To submit a written takedown notice contact us via [email protected] with the subject ‘copyright infringement’.


2.2 Liability.

The information you provide, although subject to the Tournament Finder Privacy Policy, may be copied and provided to the alleged infringer. By submitting the takedown notice you are accepting that this information may be passed on to the alleged informer, and this includes your name. As a result the alleged infringer may contact you directly to discuss the allegation. In addition, you will be liable to any damages (including costs of attorneys’ fees) incurred by Tournament Finder or the alleged infringer should you knowingly and materially misrepresent the content of the third party as infringing (with consideration for copyright defences (i.e. fair use) and exceptions). In the event that you are unsure if the material you would like to report is infringing, then you should contact an attorney before you file a takedown notice. Tournament finder will not be able to provide you with legal advice as to whether or not you have entitlement to file a takedown notice.

2.3 Takedown.

Tournament Finder will remove or disable access to any allegedly infringing material and then notify the party that is allegedly infringing, upon receiving a valid and completed fully takedown notice. If this takedown notice has satisfied our listed requirements in section 2.1 and thus identifies an infringement of copyright or trademark.


2.4 How to Get Content Reposted That Is Not Infringing.

If Tournament Finder has removed your material from its services, the quickest way to have the content reposted is to remove anything that is allegedly infringing. In most cases, the material can only be re-posted after we have removed it due to a takedown notice if the complaint is removed by the complaining party.

2.5 Address for Notices.

Should you wish to submit a takedown notice using a non-electronic method, you can do this by writing to the following address:
