Please note that we will inform the user accused of infringing your copyright about the Notice and allow them to respond. If substantial evidence of infringement is presented, we may remove or suspend the reported materials before receiving the user's response. If the allegedly infringing user submits a valid counter-notification asserting the right to post the material, we may inform you and reinstate the removed or disabled material. In all instances, we will adhere to the relevant laws.

Not adhering to all the DMCA's requirements could make your DMCA Notice ineffective.

Please note that if you knowingly make a significant misrepresentation regarding material or activity on the Website infringing your copyright, you could be held responsible for damages, including legal expenses and attorney fees.

Counter-Notification Procedures

If you think that material you uploaded on the site was mistakenly removed or its access disabled due to error or misidentification, you can submit a counter-notification (referred to as a "Counter-Notice") to us. This can be done by sending a written notification to our DMCA/Copyright Claims agent (as mentioned above). As per the DMCA guidelines, the Counter-Notice should contain the following elements:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• An identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access disabled.
• Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, e-mail address).
• A statement under penalty of perjury by you that you have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled due to a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
• A statement that you will consent to the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you reside outside India for any judicial district in which the Website may be found) and that you will accept service from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided the Website with the complaint at issue.

Under the DMCA, we can reinstate the removed content if the party who filed the initial DMCA Notice does not take legal action against you within ten business days of receiving your Counter-Notice. It's important to note that if you knowingly make a significant misrepresentation regarding the removal or disabling of material or activity on the Website due to error or misidentification, you may be held accountable for damages, including legal expenses and attorney fees.

Trademark Infringement

The content on Gigred relies on user-generated content (UGC). Gigred doesn't proactively screen user-uploaded or created content for potential trademark or other rights violations. Nonetheless, if you suspect any uploaded content infringes upon your trademark, please follow the process outlined below. Gigred investigates reported violations and takes action, including removing or disabling content found to be violating third-party trademark rights.

To ensure a prompt and efficient review of your report, please include the following information in your trademark infringement notice ("TM Notice"):

• Identification of your trademark and the services for which you claim trademark rights.
• Your trademark registration certificate and a printout from the pertinent country's trademark office records showing the current status and title of the registration. Alternatively, a statement that your mark is unregistered and a court ruling confirm your rights.
• A short description of how our user(s) allegedly infringe(s) your trademark(s).
• Clear reference to the materials you allege are infringing and which you request to be removed, for example, the GIG URL, a link to the deliverable provided to a user, etc.

• Your electronic or physical signature.

You can send the Notice electronically to [email protected].

Please be aware that we will inform the user accused of infringing your trademark about the TM Notice and allow them to respond. If substantial evidence of infringement is presented, we may remove or suspend the reported materials before receiving the user's response. If the allegedly infringing user provides information indicating that they have the right to post the material, we may notify you and then reinstate the removed or disabled material. In all such instances, we will act by applicable law.
