DMCA

Operating from our headquarters at 10177 N Dayles Way, Palmer, AK 99645, Managets is committed to the ethical curation of textile fashion and the absolute protection of creative rights under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

I. Intellectual Property Philosophy: Protecting Textile Originality

Managets respects the creative labor and intellectual property rights of textile designers, hosiery engineers, product photographers, and digital content creators globally. As a premier provider of high-quality socks, performance wool blends, and bespoke athletic hosiery, we understand that the visual representation and the intricate technical designs of our products are significant assets that require rigorous legal protection.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we have established this comprehensive protocol to respond promptly and effectively to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement. Our primary operations in Palmer, Alaska are dedicated to maintaining a digital boutique that honors the creative boundaries established by international copyright law. We believe that the hosiery marketplace can only thrive when the rights of original creators are prioritized. Whether it is a unique knit pattern, a custom-engineered compression zone, or professional lifestyle photography, Managets implements strict internal auditing to ensure our digital presence does not infringe upon the protected works of others.

II. Formal Takedown Notice Requirements: The DMCA Framework

If you believe that your copyrighted work—including but not limited to textile patterns, hosiery photography, unique product descriptions, or proprietary sock designs—has been utilized on the Managets platform without proper legal authorization, you or your designated agent must submit a formal written notice. To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include the following mandatory elements:

• Identification of the Copyrighted Work: A sufficiently detailed description of the work you claim has been infringed (e.g., “Original Knit Pattern for the Arctic Merino Series”). Providing a USCO registration number or a link to the original work is highly encouraged.
• Specific Location Mapping: The exact URL(s) on our website where the allegedly infringing sock image, design, or text is located. General site homepages are insufficient for Managets to identify specific assets.
• Claimant Contact Information: Your full legal name, physical mailing address, telephone number, and a verified professional email address.
• The “Good Faith” Statement: A clear statement that you have a “good faith belief” that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• Perjury Statement: A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Formal Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

III. Internal Audit & Expedited Action Plan

Upon receiving a notification that complies with the technical requirements of the DMCA at our Palmer, AK headquarters, Managets will initiate the following response plan:

1. Immediate Technical Review: Our legal compliance team will evaluate the notice for sufficiency and verify the location of the assets on the Managets servers.
2. Expeditious Removal: Managets will act with urgency to remove or disable access to the identified material to prevent further potential infringement.
3. Stakeholder Notification: We will attempt to notify the designer, photographer, or vendor who provided the material, informing them of the takedown.
4. Repeat Infringer Protocol: Managets maintains a strict policy of terminating the accounts of partners or contributors who are found to be “Repeat Infringers.”

IV. Counter-Notification Rights & Material Restoration

If you believe that your product design or image was removed by mistake or misidentification (e.g., you own the rights or have a valid license), you have the right to submit a Counter-Notification to Managets.

A valid Counter-Notice must be sent to support@managets.com and must contain your contact details, identification of the material that was removed, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

Cautionary Legal Notice: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including attorney’s fees incurred by Managets. Submitting a false DMCA claim is a serious offense that Managets monitors closely to protect our brand’s integrity.
