• Photographs
• Product images
• Illustrations
• Artwork
• Graphics

• Website copy
• Videos
• Audio content
• Original designs expressed in copyrightable form
• Other original creative works

Not every similarity or use of material necessarily constitutes copyright infringement.

Notices should be sent to:

DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice

4. Who May Submit a Copyright Notice

A copyright infringement notice should be submitted by:

• The copyright owner; or
• A person or organization legally authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

If you are acting as an authorized representative, please clearly identify the copyright owner and your authority to act on their behalf.

5. Required Information in a Copyright Notice

To help us review a copyright infringement notice, the written notice should include:

• Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by one notice, a representative list of those works may be provided where permitted.
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, together with sufficient information to allow us to locate it on geadlab.com.
• The exact URL of the allegedly infringing material whenever available.
• Your full name or the name of the copyright owner you represent.
• Your mailing address.
• Your telephone number, where available.
• Your email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Incomplete notices may delay our ability to evaluate the complaint.

6. Identification of Copyrighted Work

Please describe the copyrighted material clearly enough for us to understand what work you claim is protected.

Useful information may include:

• Title of the work
• Author or creator
• Copyright owner
• Copyright registration number, if applicable
• Original publication URL
• Original publication date, if known
• Copies or screenshots of the original work
• Other information reasonably demonstrating ownership

Copyright registration information is helpful where available but should not be fabricated or misrepresented.

7. Identification of Allegedly Infringing Material

Please identify the disputed material precisely.

Where possible, provide:

• Exact URL
• Product page URL
• Image URL
• Product title
• Screenshot
• Description of where the material appears
• Description of the allegedly infringing content

A general allegation concerning the entire website without identifying specific material may not provide enough information for us to locate and review the claim.

8. Supporting Evidence

You may include relevant supporting evidence with your notice, such as:

• Copyright registration information
• Original source files
• Publication records
• Licensing documents
• Screenshots
• Original photographs
• Contracts or assignments
• Evidence of authorship
• Authorization documents

Please send only information reasonably relevant to the claim.

9. Good-Faith Requirement

Before submitting a copyright notice, you should reasonably consider whether the disputed use may be:

• Authorized by the copyright owner
• Licensed
• Permitted by law
• Fair use
• Subject to another copyright exception or limitation
• Non-infringing

Copyright notices should not be submitted for competitive, retaliatory, fraudulent, or abusive purposes.

10. Review of Copyright Notices

After receiving a sufficiently complete copyright notice, we may:

• Review the information submitted
• Locate the identified material
• Review supporting evidence
• Request additional information
• Contact the claimant
• Contact the affected party
• Remove or disable access to material where appropriate
• Take other reasonable action consistent with applicable law

Submitting a notice does not automatically guarantee removal.

11. Removal or Disabling of Material

Where we determine that action is appropriate after receiving a valid copyright infringement notice, we may:

• Remove the disputed material
• Disable access to the material
• Temporarily restrict the material
• Suspend relevant content
• Take other appropriate measures

We may also preserve relevant records as reasonably necessary for legal, security, or dispute-resolution purposes.

12. Notice to the Affected Party

Where appropriate, if material is removed or disabled because of a copyright complaint, we may notify the person or party responsible for the affected material.

The notification may include sufficient information regarding the complaint to allow the affected party to understand the claim and exercise applicable rights.

13. Counter-Notification

If you believe that your material was removed or disabled because of:

• Mistake
• Misidentification
• Incorrect copyright ownership information
• An authorized use
• A valid license
• Another lawful basis

you may submit a written counter-notification.

Counter-notifications should be sent to:

Email: support@geadlab.com

Mailing Address:
Geadlab
10 Sunset Ridge Dr, Southington, CT 06489-4636, United States

Suggested subject line:

DMCA Counter-Notification

14. Required Information in a Counter-Notification

A counter-notification should include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed or disabled.
• Identification of the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
• Your full name.
• Your mailing address.
• Your telephone number.
• Your email address.
• A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States Federal District Court as required by applicable law.
• A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original copyright notice or that person's authorized agent.

Please ensure all information submitted in a counter-notification is accurate.

15. Counter-Notification Review

After receiving a valid counter-notification, we may provide a copy to the party who submitted the original infringement notice.

The original claimant may then have an opportunity under applicable law to seek a court order preventing restoration of the material.

We may request additional information if the counter-notification is incomplete or unclear.

16. Restoration of Material

Where applicable, material subject to a valid counter-notification may be restored within the period provided by applicable copyright law unless we receive notice that the original claimant has filed an appropriate court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Restoration does not constitute a legal determination that the material is non-infringing.

17. Court Proceedings Following a Counter-Notification

If the original claimant begins an appropriate legal action after receiving a counter-notification, the disputed material may remain removed or disabled while the matter is resolved.

Geadlab does not act as a court and does not make final judicial determinations regarding copyright ownership or infringement.

18. False or Misleading Copyright Notices

Do not knowingly submit a notice that materially misrepresents that content is infringing.

A person who knowingly makes material misrepresentations in connection with a copyright notice may be responsible for consequences available under applicable law.

Copyright reporting procedures should be used only for legitimate copyright concerns.

19. False or Misleading Counter-Notifications

Counter-notifications must also be submitted in good faith.

Do not knowingly:

• Misrepresent ownership
• Misrepresent authorization
• Submit false information
• Fabricate licensing evidence
• Submit a counter-notification for material you know was removed correctly because of infringement

Material misrepresentations may have legal consequences.

20. Repeat Infringement

Where appropriate and in suitable circumstances, we may take reasonable action regarding parties associated with repeated copyright infringement.

Actions may include:

• Removal of content
• Restriction of content
• Suspension of access
• Termination of applicable accounts or relationships
• Other appropriate measures

Any action will depend on the facts and applicable law.

21. Copyright Claims Concerning Product Images

If you believe a product photograph displayed on geadlab.com infringes your copyright, please provide:

• The URL of the Geadlab product page
• Identification of the disputed image
• A copy or URL of your original image
• Evidence showing ownership or authorization
• Date of creation or publication, where available
• Copyright registration information, where applicable
• The required statements described in this policy

This information helps us identify the specific content being disputed.

22. Copyright Claims Concerning Written Content

If you believe website text or product descriptions infringe your copyright, identify:

• The exact Geadlab page
• The specific disputed text
• Your original copyrighted work
• Where and when your original work was published, if applicable
• Evidence establishing your ownership
• The required statements under this policy

General allegations without identifying the disputed content may be insufficient for meaningful review.

23. Copyright Claims Concerning Graphics or Artwork

Claims involving graphics, illustrations, or artwork should identify:

• The original work
• The allegedly infringing work
• Relevant URLs
• Supporting ownership information
• Relevant registration information, where available
• Other evidence reasonably supporting the claim

24. Claims Involving Multiple Works

If your complaint concerns multiple copyrighted works, clearly identify each work and the corresponding allegedly infringing material.

Where legally permitted, you may provide a representative list.

Organized and specific information helps us evaluate claims more effectively.

25. Authorized Representatives

If a law firm, agency, rights-management company, or other representative submits a notice on behalf of a copyright owner, we may request evidence confirming authorization.

Such evidence may include:

• Written authorization
• Agency agreement
• Attorney representation
• Rights-management authorization
• Other reasonable documentation

26. Confidential Information

Do not include unnecessary confidential or highly sensitive personal information in a copyright notice or counter-notification.

Only provide information reasonably necessary to:

• Identify yourself
• Establish your authority
• Identify the copyrighted work
• Identify the disputed material
• Meet applicable legal notice requirements

27. Sharing Notice Information

Where appropriate and legally permitted, information contained in a copyright notice or counter-notification may be shared with:

• The affected content provider
• The copyright claimant
• Authorized representatives
• Legal advisers
• Service providers
• Courts
• Government authorities
• Other parties reasonably necessary to address the dispute

Submitting a notice or counter-notification may therefore involve disclosure of certain contact and claim information.

28. Personal Information

Personal information submitted through a copyright complaint may be processed for purposes including:

• Evaluating the complaint
• Communicating with parties
• Establishing legal records
• Preventing abuse
• Responding to disputes
• Complying with law
• Protecting legal rights

Personal information is otherwise handled according to our Privacy Policy.

29. Trademark Complaints

This DMCA Copyright Policy applies primarily to copyright-related claims.

For concerns involving:

• Trademarks
• Logos
• Brand names
• Trade dress
• Product design rights
• Other intellectual property rights

please review our Intellectual Property Claim Policy.

You may also contact: support@geadlab.com

30. Counterfeit Concerns

If your concern involves suspected counterfeit goods or unauthorized use of a brand rather than copyright infringement, submit the matter as an intellectual property claim.

Please include:

• Product URL
• Brand information
• Rights holder information
• Trademark or other registration information, where applicable
• Supporting evidence
• Explanation of the alleged violation

31. Ownership of Geadlab Content

Unless otherwise stated, original content owned by or lawfully licensed to Geadlab may include:

• Website text
• Original product descriptions
• Photographs
• Graphics
• Branding
• Page designs
• Marketing materials
• Other original content

Such content may be protected by applicable copyright and other intellectual property laws.

32. Unauthorized Use of Geadlab Content

Unless authorized by Geadlab or permitted by applicable law, users may not unlawfully:

• Copy protected content
• Republish protected images
• Reproduce website materials commercially
• Redistribute protected works
• Create unauthorized derivative works
• Remove copyright notices
• Present Geadlab-owned content as their own

33. Permitted Use

Customers may access geadlab.com for ordinary personal shopping and informational purposes.

Nothing in this policy prevents uses permitted under applicable copyright law.

34. Third-Party Intellectual Property

Third-party trademarks, copyrighted materials, service marks, logos, payment marks, and other intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners.

Reference to a third-party service does not imply that Geadlab owns that service's intellectual property.

35. No Automatic Admission of Infringement

Removing or disabling material after receiving a complaint does not necessarily constitute an admission that copyright infringement occurred.

Such action may be taken while:

• Reviewing a claim
• Responding to a facially valid notice
• Preventing potential harm
• Complying with applicable legal procedures

Final legal determinations regarding copyright infringement are made by appropriate legal authorities.

36. No Automatic Finding of Non-Infringement

Likewise, a decision not to remove material immediately does not constitute a legal finding that the material is non-infringing.

We may require additional information or allow parties to resolve disputed legal questions through appropriate legal procedures.

37. Abuse of the Copyright Reporting Process

The copyright reporting process must not be used to:

• Harass another person
• Interfere improperly with legitimate competition
• Remove lawful content through false claims
• Make fraudulent ownership assertions
• Submit fabricated evidence
• Misrepresent legal authority
• Intentionally disrupt legitimate business activities

We may reject claims that appear abusive, fraudulent, or unrelated to copyright law.

38. Preservation of Rights

Nothing in this policy limits the legal rights of:

• Copyright owners
• Users
• Content providers
• Geadlab
• Other affected parties

under applicable law.

Rights and remedies available under applicable law remain available.

39. No Legal Advice

This policy explains our procedure for receiving and responding to copyright claims.

It does not constitute legal advice.

If you are uncertain about:

• Copyright ownership
• Fair use
• Licensing
• Infringement
• Counter-notifications
• Legal proceedings

you should consider obtaining advice from a qualified legal professional.

40. Relationship to the Intellectual Property Claim Policy

Our separate Intellectual Property Claim Policy provides broader procedures for concerns involving:

• Trademarks
• Trade dress
• Logos
