This Intellectual Property Claim Policy explains how Minigiving addresses claims related to intellectual property (“IP”) rights, including copyright, trademark, and other proprietary rights. We respect the intellectual property of others and expect our users, partners, and content providers to do the same.

This policy outlines the procedures for submitting an intellectual property claim and how such claims are reviewed and resolved.


1. Intellectual Property Ownership

All content displayed on the Minigiving website, including but not limited to:

  • Product designs
  • Images and photographs
  • Text, graphics, and layouts
  • Logos, brand names, and trademarks

is owned by Minigiving or used under proper authorization or license. Such content is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Unauthorized use, reproduction, modification, or distribution of this content without prior written consent is strictly prohibited.


2. Respect for Third-Party Rights

Minigiving is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of third parties. We do not knowingly sell, display, or distribute products or content that infringes upon valid intellectual property rights.

If you believe that content on our website infringes your intellectual property rights, you may submit a formal claim as described in this policy.

To submit an intellectual property claim, please provide a written notice containing the following information:

  • Full legal name of the rights owner or authorized representative
  • Contact information (email address and phone number)
  • A clear description of the intellectual property being claimed
  • Proof of ownership or authorization (such as registration certificates or official documentation)

5. Review & Investigation Process

Upon receipt of a valid intellectual property claim, Minigiving will:

  • Acknowledge receipt of the claim
  • Review the provided information and supporting documentation
  • Conduct an internal investigation
  • Take appropriate action where infringement is confirmed

Actions may include removal or modification of content, suspension of listings, or other corrective measures as deemed appropriate.


6. Counter-Notification

If content is removed due to an intellectual property claim and the affected party believes the claim was submitted in error, they may submit a counter-notification.

A counter-notification must include:

  • Identification of the removed content
  • A statement explaining why the content does not infringe intellectual property rights
  • Supporting evidence or authorization, if applicable
  • Contact information and a statement made in good faith

Minigiving reserves the right to evaluate counter-notifications on a case-by-case basis.


7. False or Abusive Claims

Submitting false, misleading, or abusive intellectual property claims may result in:

  • Rejection of the claim
  • Account restrictions or suspension
  • Legal action where appropriate

Minigiving reserves the right to protect itself and its partners from misuse of this policy.


8. Limitation of Responsibility

Minigiving acts as a commercial retailer and content publisher. While we take reasonable steps to prevent infringement, we are not responsible for claims arising from information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or misrepresented by claimants.

Nothing in this policy constitutes an admission of liability.


9. Policy Updates

Minigiving reserves the right to update or modify this Intellectual Property Claim Policy at any time without prior notice.

Changes take effect immediately upon publication on our website. Continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
