Summary

1. Intellectual Property Commitment

Thezakman respects copyrights, trademarks, designs, and other intellectual property rights belonging to third parties.

We expect content displayed through thezakman.com to be used, created, licensed, or otherwise made available on a lawful basis.

If you believe material appearing on our website infringes intellectual property rights that you own or are authorized to enforce, you may submit a claim using the procedure described below.

2. Intellectual Property on Our Website

Unless otherwise indicated, content owned by Thezakman or lawfully licensed for use on thezakman.com may be protected under applicable intellectual property laws.

Protected material may include:

Third-party trademarks, photographs, product information, or other materials remain the property of their respective owners where applicable.

3. Limited Permission to Use Website Content

Customers may access and use thezakman.com for lawful personal and non-commercial shopping and informational purposes.

Unless permitted by applicable law or authorized by the relevant rights holder, website access does not grant permission to:

• Reproduce protected content for commercial purposes.
• Republish substantial portions of protected website content.
• Sell or commercially distribute protected content.
• Modify protected content and represent it as original work.
• Use protected branding in a misleading manner.
• Remove copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices.

Nothing in this policy transfers ownership of intellectual property to website visitors.

4. Trademarks and Branding

Names, logos, branding, slogans, designs, and other source-identifying material displayed on the website may constitute trademarks or other protected intellectual property belonging to Thezakman or third parties.

Use of a trademark on our website does not necessarily mean that Thezakman owns that trademark.

Third-party names and marks remain the property of their respective owners.

No trademark license is granted merely because a user accesses or purchases through our website.

5. Product Images

Product photographs and other images displayed on thezakman.com may be owned by Thezakman, licensed to us, supplied by authorized parties, or otherwise used where legally permitted.

Users may view these images for ordinary shopping purposes.

Unless permission or another lawful basis exists, users should not reproduce, redistribute, commercially exploit, or falsely claim ownership of protected product imagery.

6. Product Descriptions and Written Content

Original descriptions, editorial materials, guides, promotional copy, and other original written content may be protected by copyright.

Factual product information itself may not always qualify for copyright protection, but the original expression, presentation, or arrangement of information may be protected where applicable.

Users should not copy substantial protected portions of original website content for unauthorized commercial use.

7. Reporting Intellectual Property Infringement

If you believe content available through thezakman.com infringes intellectual property rights that you own or are authorized to enforce, submit a written claim to:

support@thezakman.com

Use a clear subject line such as:

Providing complete information helps us identify and evaluate the reported material efficiently.

8. Information Required for a Claim

Your intellectual property claim should include:

Claimant identification

Your full legal name or the name of the rights holder you represent.

Contact information

A valid email address and other reasonable contact information.

Identification of the intellectual property

Clearly identify the copyrighted work, trademark, design, or other intellectual property that you believe is being infringed.

Evidence of rights

Provide information reasonably demonstrating ownership or authorization to act for the rights holder. Where relevant, this may include registration information or other supporting documentation.

Identification of the reported material

Clearly identify the content, product listing, image, text, logo, or other material you believe infringes your rights.

Location of the material

Provide the specific page URL or sufficiently precise description that allows us to locate the reported material.

Explanation of the claim

Explain why you believe the identified material infringes the applicable intellectual property right.

Good-faith statement

State that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or applicable law.

Accuracy and authority statement

Confirm that the information in your submission is accurate and that you are the rights holder or are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder.

Signature

Include your physical or electronic signature where appropriate for the type of claim submitted.

9. Copyright Claims

For copyright-related complaints, please clearly identify:

• The copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
• The material alleged to be infringing.
• The exact location of the material on our website.
• Your relationship to the copyrighted work.
• Relevant ownership or authorization information.
• Your contact information.

Copyright complaints that are intended to constitute a formal notice under applicable copyright law must satisfy the legal requirements applicable to that notice.

Our separate DMCA Policy provides additional information regarding qualifying U.S. copyright notices.

10. Trademark Claims

If your claim concerns a trademark, please provide:

• The trademark or service mark at issue.
• The name of the trademark owner.
• Registration number and jurisdiction, if registered.
• Description of the goods or services associated with the mark.
• Exact website location of the allegedly infringing use.
• Explanation of why the use is believed to cause infringement or unlawful confusion.
• Supporting documentation where reasonably available.

We may request additional information if necessary to understand the scope or basis of a trademark complaint.

11. Other Intellectual Property Claims

Claims involving other legally protected rights, such as certain registered designs or similar rights, should identify:

• The specific right being asserted.
• The owner of the right.
• Applicable registration information, where relevant.
• The material alleged to infringe that right.
• The exact location of the material.
• The legal or factual basis of the claim.
• Supporting documentation.

12. Authorized Representatives

If you submit a claim on behalf of another person, company, or rights holder, you must be authorized to act on their behalf.

We may request reasonable evidence of that authorization before taking action on a claim.

Submitting a claim does not establish ownership or authority by itself.

13. Claim Review Process

After receiving a sufficiently complete claim, we may:

• Confirm receipt where appropriate.
• Review the information submitted.
• Locate and evaluate the reported material.
• Request additional information if the claim is incomplete or unclear.
• Review available ownership or authorization information.
• Contact relevant parties where appropriate.
• Take action when warranted by the circumstances and applicable law.

The specific review process may vary depending on the nature and complexity of the claim.

14. Possible Actions

Where a claim is sufficiently supported, appropriate action may include:

• Removing reported material.
• Disabling access to reported material.
• Correcting content.
• Updating product information.
• Requesting additional authorization or documentation.
• Contacting the relevant content provider.
• Taking another action appropriate to the circumstances.

Submitting a claim does not guarantee automatic removal. Claims are evaluated based on the information provided and applicable legal requirements.

15. Incomplete Claims

If a claim does not contain enough information to identify the intellectual property, claimant, or reported material, we may be unable to evaluate it fully.

We may request additional information.

Providing the exact page location and sufficient evidence of the asserted rights can significantly reduce ambiguity during review.

16. False, Misleading, or Abusive Claims

Intellectual property complaints should be submitted accurately and in good faith.

Do not knowingly:

• Claim ownership of rights you do not own or represent.
• Misidentify lawful content as infringing.
• Submit materially false information.
• Falsify registration or authorization information.
• Use the claims process primarily to interfere improperly with legitimate content or business activity.

A person submitting a knowingly false or materially misleading claim may be responsible for consequences available under applicable law.

17. Fair Use and Other Lawful Uses

Not every use of copyrighted or trademarked material constitutes infringement.

Applicable law may permit certain uses, including circumstances involving fair use, nominative use, descriptive use, licensing, authorization, exhaustion, or other legal exceptions or defenses.

Claims should take relevant lawful uses into consideration.

18. Counter-Information and Disputes

In appropriate circumstances, a party affected by an intellectual property complaint may provide information showing that:

• It owns the material.
• It has permission to use the material.
• The material is properly licensed.
• The claim concerns a different work or product.
• The use is otherwise lawful.

For copyright claims subject to formal statutory notice-and-counter-notice procedures, our DMCA Policy should be followed.

19. Repeat or Serious Infringement

Where appropriate and legally justified, we may take reasonable action concerning repeated or serious infringement associated with content or parties using our services.

The appropriate action depends on the circumstances, available evidence, applicable contractual relationships, and applicable law.

20. No Transfer of Rights

Submitting information, photographs, documentation, or other materials in connection with an intellectual property claim does not transfer ownership of those materials to Thezakman.

You authorize us to use information submitted with a claim as reasonably necessary to:

• Investigate the complaint.
• Verify the asserted rights.
• Communicate with relevant parties.
• Maintain appropriate records.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.
• Resolve the reported issue.

21. Privacy of Claim Information

Information submitted in connection with an intellectual property claim may be processed as reasonably necessary to investigate and resolve the claim.

Depending on the nature of the complaint and applicable legal requirements, certain information may need to be disclosed to the party responsible for the reported material, service providers, legal advisers, or competent authorities.

Personal information is otherwise handled according to our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

22. Relationship to Our DMCA Policy

Copyright complaints that qualify under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) should follow the procedures described in our separate DMCA Policy.

This Intellectual Property Rights & Claims Policy provides a broader reporting procedure covering copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual property concerns.

Where a formal statutory procedure applies, the requirements of that procedure control.

23. No Determination of Ownership

Our review of an intellectual property complaint is an administrative process intended to address content appearing through our website.

Thezakman is not a court and generally cannot issue a legally binding determination regarding disputed intellectual property ownership between third parties.

Where ownership or infringement is genuinely disputed, the parties may need to resolve the matter through appropriate legal procedures.

24. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Intellectual Property Rights & Claims Policy when reasonably necessary to reflect changes in our website, business practices, claim-handling procedures, or applicable legal requirements.

The current version will be published on thezakman.com with an updated “Last Updated” date.
