2. Who May Submit a Claim

An intellectual property claim should be submitted by:

• The owner of the intellectual property right; or
• A person or organization legally authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder.

If you submit a claim as an authorized representative, please identify the rights holder and explain your authority to act on their behalf.

We may request reasonable documentation confirming ownership or authorization when necessary to evaluate a claim.

Examples of potentially protected material may include:

• Other copyright-protected works

Your notice should clearly identify both the original copyrighted work and the material on halapps.com that you believe infringes it.

• The trademark owner
• Registration number, if applicable
• Registration jurisdiction, if applicable
• The specific material alleged to infringe the trademark
• The URL where the material appears

If the trademark is registered, supporting registration information may help us evaluate the claim efficiently.

5. Design and Other Intellectual Property Claims

If your concern involves a protected design or another form of intellectual property, please provide sufficient information for us to identify:

• The intellectual property right being asserted
• The legal owner of that right
• Any applicable registration information
• The jurisdiction in which the right is protected
• The allegedly infringing product or content
• The location of the material on halapps.com

The existence and scope of intellectual property rights may vary by jurisdiction.

7. How to Submit an Intellectual Property Claim

Send your claim by email to:
support@halapps.com

Use a clear subject line such as:
Intellectual Property Claim – [Name of Rights Holder]

Include all relevant information described in this policy.

If multiple URLs or products are involved, identify each one clearly so that we can locate the material under review.

8. Identification of Allegedly Infringing Material

Please provide specific information rather than a general reference to the entire website.

For example, where applicable, provide:

• Exact product page URL
• Product name
• Image or content involved
• Location of the disputed material
• Original work or registration information
• Explanation of the alleged infringement

Specific information allows us to identify and evaluate the material more efficiently.

9. Supporting Evidence

Depending on the type of claim, useful supporting information may include:

• Copyright registration information
• Trademark registration records
• Design registration information
• Original publication information
• Evidence of ownership
• Licensing records
• Authorization to represent the rights holder
• Original images or source references
• Other documentation demonstrating the asserted rights

Submitting supporting evidence does not automatically establish infringement, but it can assist our review.

10. Review of Claims

After receiving a sufficiently detailed intellectual property claim, Halapps may review:

• The information provided by the claimant
• The identified material on halapps.com
• Ownership or authorization information
• Registration information, where applicable
• The nature of the alleged infringement
• Relevant supporting documentation
• Other information reasonably necessary to evaluate the claim

We may contact the claimant if additional information or clarification is reasonably necessary.

11. Actions We May Take

If a claim appears valid or further action is reasonably appropriate, Halapps may take measures such as:

• Removing disputed content
• Disabling access to disputed content
• Temporarily restricting content while a claim is reviewed
• Correcting attribution or information
• Removing a product listing
• Requesting additional documentation
• Contacting relevant parties
• Taking other action appropriate under applicable law

The appropriate response depends on the nature and circumstances of the claim.

Submission of a claim does not guarantee that content will automatically be removed.

12. Claims Involving Product Listings

If an intellectual property complaint concerns a product listing, please identify the exact product page and the specific material at issue.

For example, specify whether your concern relates to:

• Product photographs
• Product artwork
• Product design
• Logo
• Brand name
• Trademark
• Product description
• Other protected material

A clear identification of the disputed element helps avoid unnecessary action against unrelated content.

13. Good-Faith Claims

Claims should be submitted in good faith.

Before submitting a claim, please consider whether the disputed material may be:

• Authorized by the rights holder
• Properly licensed
• Used with permission
• Subject to an applicable legal exception
• Otherwise lawfully used

Halapps does not determine ownership disputes merely based on unsupported assertions.

14. False or Misleading Claims

Do not knowingly submit false, fraudulent, or materially misleading intellectual property complaints.

Depending on applicable law, a person who knowingly makes material misrepresentations in an infringement notice may be responsible for resulting damages, costs, or other legal consequences.

Claimants should ensure that the information submitted is accurate before sending a notice.

15. Counter-Information and Disputed Claims

In some circumstances, the person or party responsible for disputed content may disagree with an intellectual property claim.

Where appropriate and legally permitted, Halapps may consider relevant counter-information, proof of authorization, licensing documentation, ownership information, or other evidence concerning the disputed material.

For copyright claims subject to a formal statutory notice-and-counter-notice procedure, the applicable process may be governed separately by our DMCA Policy.

16. Copyright Claims Under the DMCA

Copyright complaints that are intended to constitute formal notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act should comply with the applicable statutory requirements.

Halapps maintains a separate DMCA Policy explaining the applicable copyright notice and counter-notice procedures.

A general intellectual property complaint submitted under this policy may not necessarily satisfy all requirements of a formal DMCA notice.

17. Trademark Ownership

All trademarks, service marks, logos, and trade names belonging to third parties remain the property of their respective owners.

Reference to a third-party trademark on halapps.com does not by itself mean that Halapps claims ownership of that trademark.

Where third-party marks are used, they should be used only where authorized or otherwise legally permitted.

18. Copyright Ownership

Original content created by Halapps may be protected by applicable copyright law.

Third-party copyrighted works remain the property of their respective copyright owners.

Nothing on halapps.com should be interpreted as transferring ownership of third-party copyrighted material to Halapps.

19. Repeat or Serious Infringement

Where appropriate, Halapps may take reasonable action regarding repeated or serious intellectual property infringement associated with content under our control.

Such action may include removal or restriction of affected content and other measures appropriate to the circumstances and applicable law.

20. Privacy of Claim Information

Information submitted in connection with an intellectual property claim will be processed for purposes such as:

• Reviewing the claim
• Verifying relevant information
• Communicating with involved parties
• Maintaining appropriate records
• Preventing abuse
• Establishing or defending legal rights
• Complying with applicable legal obligations

Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to process the claim or where required by law.

Our broader data practices are described in our Privacy Policy.

21. No Determination of Complex Legal Disputes

Halapps may evaluate intellectual property complaints concerning content available through our website, but we are not a court or tribunal.

Where ownership, licensing, validity, or infringement is subject to a genuine and complex legal dispute, the parties may need to resolve the matter through appropriate legal processes.

Nothing in this policy prevents a rights holder from pursuing remedies available under applicable law.

22. No Waiver of Rights

Submitting a claim under this policy does not prevent a rights holder from exercising other rights or remedies available under applicable law.

Likewise, Halapps’ review of a complaint does not constitute an admission of infringement, liability, ownership, or wrongdoing.

23. Policy Abuse

This reporting process must not be used to:

• Submit knowingly false claims
• Harass another person or business
• Improperly interfere with lawful competition
• Seek removal of content solely because of a commercial disagreement
• Misrepresent intellectual property ownership
• Submit fraudulent documentation

We may decline to act on claims that lack sufficient information or appear abusive, fraudulent, or unrelated to intellectual property rights.

24. Changes to This Policy

Halapps may update this Intellectual Property Claim Policy when necessary to reflect changes in our procedures, website operations, or applicable legal requirements.

Any revised version will be published on halapps.com with an updated effective date.
