We provide a venue, but KnitWearMasters.net does not manufacture goods, hold inventory, or ship items on behalf of our knitters. The content uploaded on KnitWearMasters.net's website is generated by independent knitters who are not employees, agents, or representatives of KnitWearMasters.net. Knitters are responsible for ensuring they have all necessary rights to their content and that they are not infringing or violating any third party’s rights by posting it.

KnitWearMasters.net reserves the right to disable any listing, that we believe violates our Terms of Service, including this Intellectual Property Policy. KnitWearMasters.net also reserves the right to take action against abusers of this Intellectual Property Policy or our Terms of Service.

KnitWearMasters.net can’t speak on behalf of intellectual property owners, nor is KnitWearMasters.net in a position to offer legal advice or make legal determinations whether content, uploaded by a knitter, infringes someone else’s intellectual property. KnitWearMasters.net will remove the material cited for alleged intellectual property infringement when provided with proper notice.

2. Notices of Intellectual Property Infringement

KnitWearMasters.net strives to respond quickly when we receive proper notice of intellectual property infringement by removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material.

When KnitWearMasters.net removes or disables access in response to a notice, KnitWearMasters.net makes a reasonable attempt to contact the affected knitter, provide information about the notice and removal, and, in cases of alleged copyright infringement, provide information about how to submit a counter notice. KnitWearMasters.net may also provide a copy of the infringement notice, including the name and email address of the reporting party, to the affected knitter.

 Misrepresenting a product or activity as infringing your property may cause you to be liable for damages. If you are not sure if the material in question infringes your property you may wish to speak with an attorney prior to contacting KnitWearMasters.net.

To send a notice of infringement for material residing on KnitWearMasters.net that you believe infringes your intellectual property you may send notice to KnitWearMasters.net's  Designated Agent via email to  knitwearmasters1@gmail.com or to the address listed below. Please note the type of intellectual property your notice addresses and include all of the following:

1. An electronic or physical signature of the complaining party or person authorized to act on their behalf.

2. Identification of the material or works claimed to be infringed. For patents or trademarks please include a number sufficient to locate the registration.

3. Identification of the claimed infringing materials and information that is reasonably sufficient to locate the infringing material. For products please include a full url of each product you claim is infringing.

4. A statement by the owner that it has a good faith belief that there is no legal basis for the use of the materials complained of [512(c)(3)(A)(v)].

IMPORTANT:

Only the actual copyright/trademark owner or legally authorized agent can send a proper notice. Unaffiliated third party claims are not acceptable. Please note that falsely or incorrectly requesting take down under the DMCA may make the requestor liable for damages. By submitting a notice you are certifying that you have researched the appropriate rulings and laws regarding infringement notices and you accept the liability for false or damaging take down requests.

3. Counter-Notice Procedure

If a knitter  provides a proper "counter-notice" claiming that the material does not infringe the intellectual property at issue, KnitWearMasters.net will inform the notifying party of the individual's objection. If the property owner does not file for legal action with a court within 14 days,  KnitWearMasters.net will restore the material to its location on the site. [512(g)(2)(C)]

The knitter’s  response should include:

 1.The knitter’s full name, address, phone number, and physical or electronic signature [512(g)(3)(A)]

2. Identification of the material and its location before removal [512(g)(3)(B)]

3. A statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification [512(g)(3)(C)]

4. Subscriber consent to local federal court jurisdiction, or if overseas, to an appropriate judicial body. [512(g)(3)(D)]

IMPORTANT:

Claims of fair use, homage, artistic use, or other defenses of copyright infringement are the purview of the courts and not sufficient to counter a bona-fide notice of infringement for the application of KnitWearMasters.net policy. Failure to provide a counter-notice within 14 business days is taken as agreement to the removal of the material in question and agreement to desist from publishing any content on KnitWearMasters.net containing the specific intellectual property identified in the bona-fide notice.

 KnitWearMasters.net may at its discretion forward the counter-notice and materials to the party making the claim of infringement. Items may or may not be inactivated pending legal resolution solely at the discretion of KnitWearMasters.net

 If no counterclaim is made, KnitWearMasters.net will require and enforce the removal of the material question. Adding any content to KnitWearMasters.net that contains the intellectual property in violation of court order or successful claim of infringement constitutes a violation of the KnitWearMasters.net Terms of Service and may result in the cancellation of the knitter’s account.

4. Transparency in Communications

In an effort to ensure clear communication of the concerns of intellectual property rights holders, KnitWearMasters.net may at its sole discretion publish any legal communication, takedown request, cease and desist order, email, letter, fax, or other correspondence as it sees fit to fully communicate the position, stance and tone/tenor of the claimant or counter claimant.
