1. Our position
Bridgemont stops selling a product that infringes someone's rights when the infringement is properly reported. We also act against repeat infringers by ending our agreement with them.
We do not adjudicate ownership disputes. Where a claim is genuinely contested, the parties may need a court to resolve it.
2. Reporting copyright infringement
Send a notice to [email protected] containing: identification of the work; the product concerned and the address of Bridgemont's product page for it; your contact details; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is unauthorised; a statement that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act; and your signature.
Incomplete notices slow things down. We review every notice and tell you what we decided.
3. Reporting trademark infringement
Include your registration number and jurisdiction, the mark, the goods or services it covers, the product concerned and the address of Bridgemont's product page for it, and why the use is likely to confuse. Reference to a registered mark alone is not automatically infringement — descriptive and comparative uses may be lawful.
4. Counter-notices
If Bridgemont stopped selling a product you supplied because of a notice, and you believe that was wrong, send a counter-notice with the product concerned, why you have the right to use the material, and your contact details.
We pass counter-notices to the original complainant. If they do not begin legal proceedings within a reasonable period, we may resume selling the product.
5. Repeat infringers
Bridgemont ends its agreement with a Supplier that accrues repeated substantiated claims. We take account of counter-notices and of claims later withdrawn.
