Intellectual Property Claim

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIM

Barkergang (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and is committed to protecting our own. This policy outlines the procedure for reporting claims of intellectual property infringement and our stance on protecting our brand assets.

1. OWNERSHIP OF CONTENT

All content included on this website—including but not limited to the brand name Barkergang, logos, original footwear designs, product photography, website graphics, and written copy—is the exclusive property of Richard Nevins Quiroz. These assets are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

2. REPORTING INFRINGEMENT

If you believe that any material on our Site infringes upon a copyright or trademark that you own or control, you may file a notification of such infringement with our designated agent. Your claim must include:

• A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the intellectual property.
• A description of the work that you claim has been infringed.
• The exact URL or location on our Site where the allegedly infringing material is located.
• Your contact information (Address, telephone number, and email address).
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.

3. OUR PROTECTION MEASURES

We actively monitor the use of our brand assets. Unauthorized use of our footwear images, designs, or the Barkergang trademark for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited. We reserve the right to:

• Issue “Cease and Desist” orders to unauthorized resellers or copycat websites.
• Take legal action against parties that reproduce our original footwear designs without written consent.
• Submit takedown notices to search engines and social media platforms for infringing content.

4. COUNTER-NOTICE

If you receive a notification that your content was removed due to an intellectual property claim and you believe this was an error, you may submit a counter-notice to our support email. We will review all claims fairly and in accordance with applicable laws.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Barkergang is not responsible for any intellectual property content provided by third-party links or external services integrated into our Site, though we will act promptly to remove infringing material once notified.
