Intellectual Property & DMCA Policy

Last updated: August 3, 2026

This Intellectual Property & DMCA Policy applies to Polynesian Pride, operated by Polynesian Pride LLC.

Polynesian Pride respects the intellectual property and publicity rights of others. We expect customers, visitors, designers, suppliers, production partners, and other users of our services to do the same.

We review properly submitted complaints alleging that content, artwork, designs, product listings, photographs, trademarks, or other materials available through our services violate third-party rights. Where appropriate, we may remove or disable access to disputed material, suspend affected products, request additional information, notify the responsible party, or take other reasonable action.

1. DMCA Copyright Takedown Notices

If you are the owner of an exclusive copyright right, or an agent authorized to act for the owner, and believe that copyrighted material available through the Polynesian Pride website infringes that right, you may submit a written notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Send the notice to the contact identified in Section 8 and include substantially all of the following:

1. Signature. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

2. Identification of the copyrighted work. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works on the website are covered by one notice, provide a representative list of those works.

3. Identification of the disputed material. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, together with information reasonably sufficient for Polynesian Pride to locate it.

   Include the exact product-page URL, image URL, webpage URL, listing title, product name, or another sufficiently precise location.

4. Contact information. Information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you, including your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

5. Good-faith statement. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the disputed material is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner’s agent, or the law.

6. Accuracy and authority statement. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Supporting materials such as copyright-registration information, original publication records, dated source files, ownership agreements, or licensing records may assist our review. However, submitting supporting documents does not replace the required elements of a valid notice.

A notice that does not substantially contain the required information may be delayed, rejected, or returned with a request for clarification.

2. Trademark and Other Rights Complaints

The DMCA statutory counter-notice procedure applies to copyright claims. It does not automatically govern complaints involving:

• Trademarks;
• Trade names;
• Trade dress;
• Logos or brand identity;
• Rights of publicity;
• Rights of privacy;
• Design rights;
• Patents; or
• Other non-copyright intellectual property rights.

To submit a complaint involving one of these rights, email the contact identified in Section 8 and provide:

1. Your full legal name, address, telephone number, and email address;
2. Identification of the rights owner and your authority to act for that owner;
3. A description of the trademark, trade dress, name, likeness, design, or other right at issue;
4. Registration numbers or other evidence of ownership, where applicable;
5. The exact URL or other precise location of each disputed item;
6. An explanation of why you believe the identified use violates your rights;
7. A statement that the complaint is accurate and submitted in good faith; and
8. Your physical or electronic signature.

We may request additional evidence, including registration records, licensing agreements, proof of use, geographic scope, authorization documents, or an explanation of consumer confusion or other alleged harm.

Polynesian Pride may decide whether and how to act on a non-copyright complaint based on the information provided, applicable law, the nature of the disputed material, and the rights of all affected parties.

3. Review and Removal Procedures

After receiving a sufficiently complete complaint, Polynesian Pride may:

• Acknowledge receipt of the complaint;
• Request missing or additional information;
• Review the identified content or product listing;
• Temporarily suspend a listing while the complaint is reviewed;
• Remove or disable access to disputed material;
• Notify the customer, designer, supplier, or other party responsible for the material;
• Forward the complaint and relevant contact information to the affected party;
• Request a response or evidence of ownership, authorization, license, or lawful use;
• Restore material where a complaint is withdrawn or not sufficiently supported; or
• Take other action reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.

For a compliant DMCA copyright notice, we may act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material and promptly notify the party responsible for the material.

Removal or suspension of material does not constitute an admission by Polynesian Pride that infringement occurred.

We are not a court and generally cannot conclusively determine complex disputes about ownership, licensing, fair use, consumer confusion, validity, or other contested legal issues.

4. DMCA Counter-Notifications

If material submitted or controlled by you was removed or disabled following a DMCA copyright notice, and you believe the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification.

Send the counter-notification to the contact identified in Section 8 and include substantially all of the following:

1. Signature. Your physical or electronic signature.

2. Identification of removed material. Identification of the material removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal or disabling.

3. Good-faith statement. 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.

4. Contact information. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

5. Consent to jurisdiction. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located.

   If your address is outside the United States, the statement must consent to the jurisdiction of a United States Federal District Court in a judicial district where Polynesian Pride LLC may be found.

6. Acceptance of service. A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA notice or that person’s agent.

A counter-notification that does not substantially contain the required information may be delayed, rejected, or returned with a request for clarification.

5. Restoration of Removed Material

After receiving a compliant counter-notification, Polynesian Pride may provide a copy to the person who submitted the original DMCA notice and inform that person that the disputed material may be restored.

Subject to applicable law, the material may be restored or access may be re-enabled not fewer than 10 business days and not more than 14 business days after receipt of a compliant counter-notification.

We will not restore the material during that period if the original complaining party notifies us that it has filed a court action seeking an order restraining the allegedly infringing activity.

Restoration is not guaranteed where:

• The material separately violates our Terms & Conditions;
• The material violates another law or third-party right;
• The applicable account has been suspended or terminated for another reason;
• A court order or legal restriction applies; or
• Restoration is not technically or operationally possible.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

Polynesian Pride maintains a policy of addressing repeat infringement in appropriate circumstances.

Depending on the facts and applicable law, we may:

• Record substantiated infringement complaints;
• Issue warnings;
• Remove or suspend products or content;
• Restrict access to design, listing, or submission features;
• Cancel affected services or business relationships;
• Suspend or terminate accounts; or
• Refuse future service.

We may consider the number, frequency, nature, reliability, and seriousness of complaints, as well as retractions, counter-notifications, court decisions, evidence of authorization, and other relevant circumstances.

We are not required to use a fixed number of “strikes” before taking action.

7. Misrepresentations and Abuse

Do not knowingly submit a false, fraudulent, misleading, or materially inaccurate complaint or counter-notification.

Misrepresenting that material is infringing, or misrepresenting that removed material was removed because of mistake or misidentification, may result in liability under applicable law.

Polynesian Pride may reject or restrict complaints submitted for purposes such as:

• Harassment;
• Competitive interference;
• Suppressing lawful criticism or commentary;
• Obtaining confidential information;
• Submitting knowingly false ownership claims; or
• Abusing the takedown or counter-notice process.

We may preserve and disclose relevant notices, counter-notifications, account information, and records when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to legal process, enforce our policies, or protect legal rights.
