Copyright & DMCA Takedown

1. Intellectual Property Overview

[S]PIDERPIE bridges independent merchants who control their own product descriptions, images, and item nodes. While we do not generate the merchant catalogs, we respect the intellectual property rights of others. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and local copyright legislation, we promptly process formally structured takedown requests.

2. Mandatory Filing Criteria

To submit a valid notice of infringement, the copyright owner or authorized representative must provide our legal desk with a written communication containing the following parameters:

• A clear identification of the copyrighted material claimed to have been infringed (such as original source links or design registrations).
• The direct [S]PIDERPIE listing URL, merchant storefront link, or product ID containing the infringing material.
• Your direct contact coordinates, including active phone lines, email address, and physical business coordinates.
• A statement stating that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

3. Submitting Takedown Claims

Please route formal copyright documentations directly to our designated intellectual property agent:

4. Merchant Counter-Notifications

When a listing node is taken down, the affected merchant is notified instantly via their dashboard. If the seller believes their item was removed due to a sorting error or misidentification, they may file a formal counter-notification. The counter-notice must prove authorization rights or demonstrate authentic procurement lines. If valid, the platform will notify the original claimant. The claimant has 10 business days to file a legal action, failing which the merchant listing may be reinstated.

5. Fraudulent Infringement Claims

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages. Falsely filing takedowns to disrupt competing merchants will lead to immediate account termination and legal escalation.
