Policy on Intellectual Property Complaintfulness

Bafasa gives customers a stage on which to market their own products. Before using Bafasa services, users agree legally to all terms. Users of Bafasa contractually cannot use its services to sell goods violating third party intellectual property rights (including copyright, trademark, trade dress, and right of publicity).

Following receipt of a compliance notice, Bafasa policy is to block and remove any content it deems in good faith so violating third party intellectual property rights; and to stop service for repeated infringement.

Please let Bafasa know whether you think a Bafasa user has violated your intellectual property rights at support@bafasa.com. You have to incorporate in your alert the following details:

A physical or digital signature of someone authorised to represent the owner of the intellectual property you claim is being violated.
The URL to the Bafasa campaign(s) utilized in relation to the allegedly infringing goods sold.
Identification of the allegedly violated copyright, trademark, or other rights together with evidence of ownership (like copies of current trademark or copyright registrations).
Your email address, phone number(s), complete name, address.
Under federal or state law, a declaration indicating your good-faith belief that use of the content in the URL supplied is illegal by the rights owner, or licensee, amounts to infringement.
Under penalty of perjury, a statement certifying that the information in the notification is accurate and complete and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the intellectual property or other right allegedly violated.

Policy for Counter-Notice Notes
You may submit a counter-notice if you think an allegation of intellectual property infringement was made in error or by misidentification. Should you significantly mislead in your counter-notice that your design is not infringing upon the intellectual property, you could be responsible for damages to the owner of the intellectual property (including attorney’s fees and expenses). Thus, before submitting the counter-notice, please see an attorney to be sure the content respects intellectual property. The counter-notice is to be sent to support@bafasa.com and contain the following data:

Your digital or physical signature;
Your email address, phone number(s), complete name, address;
Identification of the content and its source either by URL to the Bafasa campaign(s) utilized in relation with the sale of the purportedly infringing goods or Bafasa campaign number;
Under penalty of perjury, a statement claiming intellectual property violation leading to content removal or denial of access was entered by error or misidentification;
Your consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court in the district where you live (if you are in the United States), or your consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court in the district where your service provider is located (should you not be in the United States); Your consent to accept service of process from the party who sent the takedown notice or agent of that party.
Should you send a counter-notice, a copy of the counter-notice could be forwarded to the complaining party alerting them that Bafasa might replace the deleted items or stop deactivating them within ten business days. The withdrawn content may be reinstated or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days unless the intellectual property owner takes an action seeking a court judgment against you.
