Intellectual Property Policy
This Intellectual Property Policy explains how Winslow Mercantile, operated by Golden Season LLC ("we", "us", "our"), handles reports that something on our website infringes another person's copyright or trademark, and how we protect the content of our own website. It applies to all pages of our online store and supplements our Terms and Conditions.
1. Our approach
1.1 We respect the work of artists, designers and brands, and we expect the same respect for our own.
1.2 If you believe that a product, image or text on our website uses your work without permission, please tell us directly. We review every complete report and act quickly when a report is valid.
1.3 Contacting us first is usually the fastest way to resolve a concern. Most matters are settled within a few business days.
2. Reporting a copyright concern
2.1 If you own the copyright in a work, or act on behalf of the owner, you can send us a notice under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512) or an equivalent notice under the law that applies to you.
2.2 Your notice must include:
a) your full name, postal address, telephone number and email address
b) a description of the work you believe has been copied, with a link to where it was first published, or its registration number if it is registered
c) the exact web address (URL) of each page or listing on our website that you believe infringes your work
d) a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not permitted by the owner, its agent or the law
e) a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or are acting on behalf of the owner
f) your physical or electronic signature
3. Reporting a trademark concern
3.1 If you own a trademark, or act on behalf of the owner, and believe a listing on our website uses it in a way that is not permitted, your notice must include:
a) your full name, company name (if any), postal address, telephone number and email address
b) the trademark, its registration number and the country or region where it is registered
c) the exact web address (URL) of each listing concerned
d) a short explanation of why you believe the use is not permitted
e) a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or are acting on behalf of the owner
f) your physical or electronic signature
4. Where to send your notice
4.1 Please send notices by email to info@winslowmercantile.com with the subject line "Intellectual property notice".
4.2 Email is the only channel we monitor for these notices. Notices sent through product reviews, social media comments or messages, or advertising platforms may not reach us or may be delayed.
5. What happens after we receive a notice
5.1 We confirm receipt within two (2) business days.
5.2 If the notice is complete and the concern appears valid, we remove the listing or material concerned, usually within five (5) business days of receiving the complete notice.
5.3 If we need more information to assess a notice, we will ask for it. The time limits above start once we have everything we need.
5.4 We will let you know what action we have taken.
5.5 Removing a listing is a precaution. It is not an admission that any right has been infringed or that we are liable for anything, and it does not limit any of our rights under the law.
6. Incomplete, mistaken or bad-faith notices
6.1 We may decline to act on a notice that is incomplete, does not identify specific listings, or does not show that the sender owns the rights concerned or acts on behalf of the owner.
6.2 Before acting, we may ask for proof of identity and proof of ownership, for example a registration certificate, original files or a link to the original publication.
6.3 We may decline notices that we reasonably believe are sent in bad faith, for example to harm a competitor, to obtain payment or to remove lawful content. We do not pay settlement demands sent in place of a notice.
6.4 Under US law (17 U.S.C. §512(f)), anyone who knowingly makes a false claim of infringement may be liable for the damages, costs and legal fees that result. Similar rules apply in other countries. If you are not sure whether material infringes your rights, you may wish to seek legal advice before sending a notice.
6.5 We may share a copy of your notice, including your name and contact details, with the party responsible for the material concerned so that they can respond.
7. If we believe a notice is mistaken
7.1 If, after review, we believe a notice is mistaken or the material is used lawfully, we will tell the sender and explain our view.
7.2 We may restore material that was removed if the sender does not provide the information we request within fourteen (14) days, or if we conclude that the concern was not valid.
8. Content submitted by customers
8.1 Customers may submit reviews, photos and other content. You may only submit content that you created yourself or have permission to share.
8.2 We remove customer content that infringes the rights of others as soon as we become aware of it, and we may refuse further submissions from anyone who repeatedly submits such content.
9. Our own content
9.1 The text, photographs, graphics, videos, logos and page designs on our website are owned by us or used with permission, and are protected by copyright and other laws.
9.2 You may view and share our pages for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, reproduce, scrape, republish or otherwise use our content for commercial purposes, including on other online stores, marketplaces or in advertising, without our prior written permission.
9.3 We look for copies of our content and take action against them, including takedown requests to hosting providers, marketplaces, platforms and advertising networks.
9.4 Nothing in this policy gives you any right to use our name, logo or other marks.
10. Changes to this policy
