Welcome to the TorqueForm Tribrid (Luxauro, Gold Metal Guild, and TF Empires) (“we,” “us,” “our”), your reliable online marketplace. We connect customers, merchants, clients, professionals, and founders, facilitating transactions and services securely. The TorqueForm Tribrid has adopted a general policy regarding copyright and intellectual property rights in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. The Company removes material that is the subject of a compliant DMCA takedown notice. Section 512 of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. §512) provides the rules for reporting copyright infringement and for filing a counter-notification. We, in our sole discretion, reserve the right to disable, remove, or delete User Content that has been alleged to be infringing on another’s copyright. We, in our sole discretion, also reserve the right to terminate any User accounts of Users who commit any repeated acts of copyright infringement or even a single act of infringement. Unless otherwise defined in this Copyright & DMCA Policy, terms used in this Copyright & DMCA Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions.

Reporting a Copyright Violation

• • If there is a suspected copyright Infringement, please consult with an attorney before filing a DMCA notification. Misrepresenting that an Infringement of copyrighted material has occurred may subject You, the Claimant, filing a notification of violation to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the owner of the User Content or other parties.
  • If You reasonably suspect copyright Infringement has occurred regarding Your copyrighted material, You, as the Claimant, may send a written DMCA notification, in English, to Our Designated Agent at info@Luxauro.com which must include all of the below items. If Your DMCA notice is incomplete in any way, We will be under no obligation to take any action.

    • Identification and description of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material (e.g., URL of the web page that contains the allegedly infringing material);
    • Information reasonably sufficient to permit Us, the service provider, to contact the Claimant, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the Claimant may be contacted;

We will also provide instructions for filing a counter-notification. We will process DMCA notifications and counter-notifications that We receive, but We do not adjudicate these matters.

Filing a Counter Notification

• If the owner of the User Content believes that its Content has been removed or disabled by mistake or due to misidentification, the owner of the User Content may submit a counter notification to Our Designated Agent within seven (7) business days from the date of receiving the DMCA notice by emailing Our Copyright Manager at info@Luxauro.com. The email must include all of the below items. If Your DMCA counter notification is incomplete in any way, We will be under no obligation to take any action.

Our Procedure Upon Receipt of a Counter Notification

• Upon receipt of a counter notification, We will send the counter notification to the Claimant.
• Upon expiration of 10 business days after forwarding the counter notification to the Claimant, if We do not receive notice that the Claimant has filed an action seeking a court order to prevent further Infringement, We, in Our sole discretion, though we are under no obligation to do so, may reinstate the User Content that was the subject of the claim notification.

• We reserve the right to forward all materials received (including full contact information) to the opposing party in the DMCA dispute.

Trademark Infringement

• The DMCA does not cover trademark infringement topics. The use of another’s trademark-protected materials in any confusing or misleading way can be a form of trademark infringement. We will not mediate any trademark disputes between owners of User Content and trademark owners. We may, but are under no obligation to, conduct Our own investigation into any reasonable complaints regarding trademark infringement. We, in Our sole discretion, may remove or disable access to any User Content in connection with trademark infringement.
• Any trademark owner who believes that his/her trademark-protected material is being infringed upon should make every reasonable attempt to contact the owner of the User Content directly. If You, the trademark owner, are unable to come to a resolution with the owner of the User Content, email the following information in English to us at info@Luxauro.com. Please note, if any report of trademark infringement is incomplete in any way, We will be under no obligation to take any action:
  • URL of the allegedly infringing User Content;
  • Details of Your trademarked material;
  • Trademark registration number;
  • The specific office at which Your trademark is registered (e.g., USPTO);
  • Details of how the allegedly infringing material violates Your trademark. Please provide us with adequate and specific detail and evidence for Your complaint;

  • Your email address (preferably Your company email address);

• Any material that becomes subject to an Infringement dispute will be disabled or removed until the dispute is resolved or the DMCA process is complete.
• If the Infringement dispute has not been resolved within 30 days after the filing of a claim notification and any counter notification, the User Content will be permanently removed from Our Site. If the Infringement dispute is resolved or the DMCA process resolves within the 30-day period, the User Content will be restored.
