If you believe that material on the MerchGears platform infringes your copyright or the copyright of someone you're authorized to act on behalf of, you can follow the procedures outlined in the policy to report the infringement.

Actions Upon Proper Infringement Notification: Upon receiving a proper notice of copyright infringement, MerchGears may remove or disable access to the infringing material, notify the content provider accused of infringement, and potentially terminate their access if they are a repeat offender.

  4. Counter-Notice: If a content provider believes that the material they posted was removed or disabled incorrectly due to a mistake or misidentification, they can send a counter-notice. The counter-notice should contain specific information, including a statement of good faith belief and contact details.

  5. Restoration of Material: Upon receiving a counter-notice, MerchGears may choose to send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party. Unless the copyright owner files a court order, the removed material may be replaced or access restored after a specified period.
