01. DMCA Overview

Modern Gentleman Style (https://moderngentlemanstyle.shop/) respects the intellectual property rights of others. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we have adopted this policy to address claims of copyright infringement. This policy outlines the procedures for notifying us of alleged infringement and the actions we will take in response.

02. Safe Harbor Compliance

We operate as a service provider under the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512). This protection limits our liability for copyright infringement claims based on user-generated content or automated processes, provided we adhere to the strict notice-and-takedown procedures defined herein.

03. Designated Copyright Agent

All notifications of claimed copyright infringement must be sent to our designated Copyright Agent. This representative is trained to handle legal inquiries with professional urgency. You may reach our agent at:
Email: support@moderngentlemanstyle.shop
Subject: DMCA Takedown Request

04. Valid Takedown Requirements

To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must be a written communication that includes the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing (including specific URLs).
• Information sufficient to contact the complaining party (Address, Phone, Email).
• A statement that the complaining party has a "good faith belief" that use of the material is not authorized.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, under penalty of perjury.

05. Internal Takedown Procedure

Upon receipt of a valid and complete DMCA notice, Modern Gentleman Style will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. We will also make a good-faith attempt to contact the content provider, member, or user who posted the material to notify them of the action taken.

06. Counter-Notification Rights

If you believe that your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you have the right to file a counter-notification. Under 17 U.S.C. §§ 512(g)(2) and (3), a counter-notice must include your signature, identification of the removed material, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed in error.

07. Restoration of Content

If a valid counter-notice is received, Modern Gentleman Style may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice.

08. Repeat Infringer Policy

Modern Gentleman Style maintains a strict policy regarding repeat infringers. We reserve the right to terminate the accounts of any users or business partners who are found to be repeat infringers of intellectual property. A repeat infringer is defined as any user who has been notified of infringing activity more than twice.

09. Liability for Misrepresentation

Please be aware that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorney's fees. Modern Gentleman Style reserves the right to seek damages from any party that files a fraudulent DMCA notice.

10. Our Proprietary Content

All photography, product descriptions, and brand assets on this site are the exclusive property of Modern Gentleman Style. We utilize digital watermarking and automated tracking to identify unauthorized use of our professional assets. We will aggressively pursue DMCA takedowns against any entities scraping our catalog.

11. Third-Party Marketplace Notice

If our products are found on third-party marketplaces (such as Amazon or eBay) without our express written consent, we will utilize those platforms' specific IP protection tools (e.g., Amazon Brand Registry) in conjunction with this DMCA policy to protect our brand integrity.

12. International Copyright Standards

While the DMCA is a United States law, Modern Gentleman Style applies these high standards to our global operations. We respect international treaties including the WIPO Copyright Treaty and will honor valid infringement claims from international copyright holders.

13. DRM and Access Controls

We do not utilize intrusive Digital Rights Management (DRM) on our site. However, any attempt to bypass our site's security measures to harvest proprietary data or imagery is a violation of our Terms of Service and may be subject to legal action beyond the scope of a standard DMCA takedown.

14. Amendments to DMCA Policy
