Effective from: (pending)
Last updated: 27 May 2026
Brand Atlas respects intellectual property rights and responds to credible reports of copyright infringement on the Service.
1. Reporting infringement (DMCA notice)
If you believe material on Brand Atlas infringes a copyright you own, send a written notice to our Designated Agent (see contact below) containing:
- Your contact information. Name, address, phone, email.
- Identification of the copyrighted work allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the infringing material with enough detail to locate it (URLs, atlas identifiers, screenshots).
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and (under penalty of perjury) that you are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Your signature (physical or electronic).
Incomplete notices may not be actionable.
2. Designated Agent
Send DMCA notices to:
- Email: legal@brandatlas.pro (subject line: “DMCA notice”)
- Postal: MadeBy_, [postal address pending], United Arab Emirates
The designated agent contact is registered as required.
3. Processing
On receipt of a complete notice, we:
- Acknowledge receipt within 5 working days.
- Review the notice for completeness and credibility.
- Where the notice is actionable, restrict access to the material identified.
- Notify the customer whose atlas the material was in.
- Provide the customer with a copy of the notice (with the notifier’s contact information).
4. Counter-notification
If a customer believes material was removed in error, they may submit a counter-notification with:
- Their contact information.
- Identification of the removed material.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Consent to jurisdiction in the customer’s location (or the UAE, as a fallback).
- Their signature.
On receipt of a complete counter-notification, we share it with the original notifier. The material is restored after 10-14 working days unless the original notifier files a lawsuit and provides notice of it.
5. Repeat infringers
Customers who repeatedly upload infringing material have their accounts terminated. The threshold and procedure are documented internally and reviewed annually.
6. UAE notice-and-takedown
The DMCA process above is the primary procedure. For rightsholders in the UAE or for material that falls under UAE intellectual property law, the same submission channel applies. We follow the UAE Federal Law No. 38 of 2021 Concerning the Regulation and Protection of Industrial Property Rights and related copyright law (currently Federal Law No. 7 of 2002) where applicable.
7. Trademark complaints
Trademark infringement complaints follow a similar process. Submit to legal@brandatlas.pro with:
- The registered trademark and registration details.
- The allegedly infringing use.
- Confirmation that you are the trademark owner or authorised representative.
8. False or abusive notices
Filing a knowingly false DMCA notice or counter-notification is subject to legal penalties in many jurisdictions. We may, at our discretion, share information about abusive notices with affected customers and, where appropriate, with relevant authorities.
9. Changes
We may update this Policy. Material changes are announced 30 days in advance.
