Infringement Policy

At Peak Climber SE, we are dedicated to providing high-quality climbing gear and ensuring that our customers have a safe and satisfying shopping experience. We respect intellectual property rights, and we expect the same from our customers and partners. This Infringement Policy outlines our stance on the protection of intellectual property and the steps we take to address any potential infringement issues that may arise.

1. Intellectual Property Protection

Intellectual property (IP) includes a wide range of assets, such as trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets. The content displayed on our website, including product descriptions, images, logos, videos, and brand names, is protected under applicable laws. All such materials are the exclusive property of Peak Climber SE or our content providers, and we ask that they be used solely for their intended purpose—promoting your enjoyment of our products and services.

2. Reporting Infringement

If you believe that any content on our website or related services infringes on your intellectual property rights or the rights of others, we take such concerns seriously and encourage you to contact us immediately. We will promptly investigate any infringement claims, ensure compliance with applicable laws, and take the necessary action to address the issue.

To report any potential infringement, please reach out to us at [email protected] with the following details:

  • A description of the material that you believe is being infringed.
  • The location of the material on our website or platform.
  • Proof of ownership of the intellectual property in question (e.g., a copyright registration number, trademark certificate, or patent number).
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the IP owner or its representatives.
  • Your contact information, including a valid email address.

We will review all claims thoroughly and in a timely manner, ensuring that we address any legitimate concerns effectively.

3. Actions We Take

Upon receiving a valid claim of infringement, we may take one or more of the following actions:

  • Remove or disable access to the infringing material.
  • Investigate and verify the details of the claim.
  • Notify the alleged infringer of the claim and provide them with an opportunity to dispute the claim.

If you are the alleged infringer, we will give you the chance to respond and provide evidence that you have the right to use the disputed content. If you believe that your content has been wrongfully removed, you may file a counter-notice, and we will investigate the matter further.

4. Repeated Infringement

Peak Climber SE is committed to ensuring that our platform is free from infringement. If a user repeatedly violates intellectual property rights, we reserve the right to take more severe actions, which may include:

  • Suspension or termination of the user’s account.
  • Permanent ban from accessing or using our website.

These actions will be taken after reviewing the severity and frequency of the infringement.

5. Fair Use

We recognize that some uses of intellectual property are permitted under the “fair use” doctrine, such as for educational or non-commercial purposes. However, such uses must meet legal criteria, and we encourage users to be mindful of intellectual property laws when posting or using content on our website.

6. Compliance with Laws

Peak Climber SE strives to comply with all relevant intellectual property laws, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the United States and other international IP regulations. Our Infringement Policy is designed to adhere to these laws and ensure that the rights of content owners are respected.
