Notice procedure.
Reservation of rights.

01 / Reservation of rights

All rights are expressly reserved.

All intellectual property rights, copyrights, trademarks, names, marks, digital assets, creative materials, registers, ownership records, written instruments, licensing rights, sublicensing rights, and related intangible assets held, administered, licensed, sublicensed, or otherwise controlled by the Company are reserved.

Nothing on this website or in any informal communication grants any licence, sublicence, assignment, permission, right of use, right of reproduction, right of distribution, right of display, right of adaptation, or other intellectual property right. No such right is granted by implication, estoppel, acquiescence, or otherwise. Rights are granted only by written agreement executed by an authorised officer of the Company.

The Company asserts and exercises all rights, remedies, and protections available under applicable law and at equity, in any jurisdiction in which those rights exist or in which infringement is alleged to occur, including without limitation under the Berne Convention, the Paris Convention, the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), the WIPO Copyright Treaty, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), and Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act).

02 / Notification of claimed infringement

Form and required elements of a valid notice.

Persons asserting that material under the custody, administration, or control of Aegis IP Holdings infringes their intellectual property rights may submit a written notification to the Company at the address for service shown below. Notifications must be in writing and in English.

Required elements

1. (a)

   Identification of the protected work claimed to have been infringed.

2. (b)

   Identification of the allegedly infringing material in sufficient detail to enable the Company to locate it.

3. (c)

   The name, postal address, telephone number, and electronic mail address of the claimant.

4. (d)

   A statement that the claimant has a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the rightsholder, its agent, or applicable law.

5. (e)

   A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the claimant is authorised to act on behalf of the rightsholder.

6. (f)

   The physical or electronic signature of the claimant.

Notifications that do not include the foregoing information may not be acted upon. The Company may, in its discretion, request further information, supporting documentation, or evidence of ownership and authority before taking action.

Upon receipt of a compliant notification, the Company will review the matter and respond in due course through an authorised officer. The Company makes no representation as to any specific response time and reserves the right to take such action as it considers appropriate in the circumstances, including without limitation the issuance of formal takedown correspondence to platforms, hosts, registrars, or other parties.

03 / Counter-notification

Procedure for response to a notification.

A person whose material is the subject of a notification of claimed infringement may submit a counter-notification in writing to the Company. The counter-notification should identify the material at issue, provide the information required of an original notification in § II above, and include a statement that the counter-claimant has a good-faith belief that the material was misidentified or that the use is otherwise authorised by the rightsholder, its agent, or applicable law.

The Company will review compliant counter-notifications and may, in its discretion, take such action as it considers appropriate, including the restoration of material previously removed, the withdrawal of a previously issued notification, or the maintenance of the original action. The Company makes no representation as to any specific outcome of a counter-notification.

04 / Repeat infringers

Policy in respect of repeat infringement.

The Company maintains and applies a repeat infringer policy. The Company reserves the right to refuse correspondence from, suspend the consideration of communications from, decline to grant licences or sublicences to, terminate any existing arrangement with, and to take such other action as it considers appropriate in respect of, persons who, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights, whether of the Company or of any other rightsholder.

05 / Effect of submission and authority

No undertaking is created by mere correspondence.

Submission of a notification, counter-notification, or other correspondence to the Company creates no contractual relationship with the Company, grants no licence, sublicence, permission, assignment, or right of any kind, and waives no right, remedy, defence, privilege, confidentiality position, or protection available to the Company under written agreement, written instrument, applicable law, or equity.

The Company acts only through written instruments executed by an authorised officer. No oral statement, telephone communication, informal exchange, automated response, or content on this website constitutes an undertaking, agreement, waiver, consent, or instrument binding upon the Company. No licence, sublicence, assignment, permission, settlement, release, covenant not to sue, or other disposition of intellectual property rights is granted except by written agreement so executed.

06 / Governing law and forum

Cook Islands law and reservation of enforcement.

Aegis IP Holdings is incorporated and governed under the laws of the Cook Islands. Matters concerning the Company, its corporate affairs, and the internal administration of its assets are governed by Cook Islands law and are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Cook Islands.

The foregoing does not limit the right of the Company to enforce its intellectual property rights in any jurisdiction in which those rights exist or in which infringement is alleged to occur. The Company reserves all rights and remedies available under applicable law and at equity. If any provision of this procedure is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the Company reserves the right to amend, supplement, withdraw, or replace this procedure at any time and without prior notice.
