3. Copyright Infringement

Copyright protects certain original works, including photographs, artwork, videos, written content, graphics, and other creative materials.

Providing complete information may help us review and respond to your report more efficiently.

4. Trademark Complaints

Trademarks may protect brand names, logos, symbols, and other identifiers that distinguish goods or services.

You may report content if you believe that a user of Lonecto is using your trademark in a way that is unauthorized and likely to cause confusion about the source, affiliation, sponsorship, or approval of a product, service, or account.

Trademark complaints should include:

• The name of the trademark owner;
• Your relationship to or authority to represent the trademark owner;
• Information identifying the trademark;
• Where relevant, registration information or other evidence of trademark rights;
• A link to the allegedly infringing Lonecto content;
• An explanation of how the use may infringe or misuse the trademark; and
• Your contact information.

Trademark complaints can be submitted to: contact@lonecto.com

5. Counterfeit and Unauthorized Products

Lonecto does not permit users to knowingly use the platform to promote counterfeit, stolen, or unauthorized products.

You must not:

• Claim that counterfeit goods are authentic;
• Use another brand's trademarks to deceptively promote unauthorized products;
• Misrepresent a product's authenticity or origin;
• Falsely claim to be an authorized seller or distributor; or
• Use Lonecto to facilitate the sale or promotion of stolen goods.

Reports involving counterfeit or unauthorized products may be submitted to contact@lonecto.com.

Where appropriate, please include information identifying the product, listing, brand, and the basis for your complaint.

6. How Lonecto May Respond to Complaints

When we receive an intellectual property complaint, we may review the information provided and take action where appropriate.

Depending on the circumstances, we may:

• Contact the relevant user;
• Request additional information;
• Remove or restrict access to the content;
• Disable a link or product listing;
• Limit access to certain Lonecto features;
• Suspend an account; or
• Permanently terminate an account.

Lonecto may also decline to take action where the complaint is incomplete, unsupported, outside our ability to evaluate, or where we reasonably determine that no violation has been established.

We may take action without prior notice where appropriate and permitted by applicable law.

7. Content Removal and Account Action

Repeated or serious intellectual property violations may result in additional enforcement action.

This may include:

• Removal of multiple pieces of content;
• Temporary account restrictions;
• Suspension of product listing features; or
• Permanent termination of an account.

We may consider factors such as the nature, severity, frequency, and history of reported violations when determining an appropriate response.

8. Counter-Notifications and Disputes

If your content has been removed or restricted following an intellectual property complaint and you believe the action was taken in error, you may contact us at contact@lonecto.com.

Please include:

• Your name and contact information;
• Identification of the removed or restricted content;
• A link or other information identifying where the content previously appeared;
• An explanation of why you believe the removal or restriction was incorrect; and
• Any relevant evidence supporting your right to use the content.

Submitting a counter-notification does not guarantee that content will be restored.

Lonecto may review the information provided and take appropriate action based on the circumstances and applicable law.

9. False or Misleading Reports

You should only submit intellectual property complaints that you reasonably believe are accurate and made in good faith.

You must not knowingly submit false, fraudulent, misleading, or abusive complaints.

Submitting false reports may result in the rejection of your complaint or other action where appropriate.

10. Lonecto's Intellectual Property

The Lonecto name, logo, branding, website, platform, software, design, features, graphics, text, and other materials owned by Lonecto are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Except where expressly permitted, you may not:

• Copy or reproduce Lonecto's proprietary materials;
• Use the Lonecto name or logo in a way that suggests endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation without authorization;
• Modify or create derivative works based on Lonecto's proprietary materials;
• Reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code from the platform; or
• Use Lonecto's intellectual property for unauthorized commercial purposes.

Nothing in this policy grants ownership of Lonecto's intellectual property to users.

11. Fair Use and Other Legal Rights

Not every use of copyrighted or trademarked material is necessarily an infringement.

Certain uses may be permitted under applicable law, including through exceptions, limitations, fair dealing, fair use, parody, commentary, criticism, review, or other legal rights.

Lonecto may consider applicable legal rights and available information when reviewing complaints, but users and complainants remain responsible for understanding and protecting their own legal rights.

12. Third-Party Content and Links

Lonecto users may publish links to external websites and third-party services.

Lonecto does not control all content available on third-party websites.

If your complaint relates to content hosted entirely on an external website, the appropriate action may need to be directed to the owner, operator, or service provider of that external website.

However, where an external link published through Lonecto itself violates our policies, we may take action regarding the Lonecto content or account.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Copyright & Intellectual Property Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Lonecto, applicable laws, or our enforcement practices.

When changes are made, we will update the Effective Date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of Lonecto after an updated version of this policy becomes effective may be subject to the revised policy.
