Procedure for Reporting Claimed Infringement:

If you believe that material or content residing on or accessible through the Company website or service infringes an intellectual property right that you own or control, please send a notice of claimed infringement to admin@gotohear.com

2. Identification of works or materials being infringed.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the intellectual property owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that Company is capable of finding and verifying its existence. Providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate content quickly.
4. Contact information – such as your address, telephone number, and email address where you can be contacted.
5. If claiming copyright infringement, the statement “I swear under penalty of perjury that I am the copyright owner or am authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed, and that the information in this notification is accurate. I believe in good faith that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”

If claiming trademark infringement, the statement “I swear under penalty of perjury that I am the trademark owner or am authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed, and that the information in this notification is accurate. I believe in good faith that use of the materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorised by the intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law.”

Note that a copy of your legal notice will be forwarded to the party responsible for providing the alleged infringing content.

1. A physical or electronic signature of the content provider, member, or user.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
