Trademarks.
Mxpreview.com is not in a position to arbitrate trademark disputes between the
advertisers on Mxpreview.com and trademark owners. Accordingly, we encourage
trademark owners to resolve their disputes directly with the advertisers,
particularly because the advertisers may have similar advertisements on other
sites. Similarly, Mxpreview.com does not control and assumes no responsibility
for content that appears on a third party's website that may be accessed via
Mxpreview.com, and trademark owners should contact third party sites directly
to resolve trademark disputes.
As a courtesy to federally registered trademark
owners, however, we are willing to perform a limited investigation of
reasonable complaints.
If you are an owner of a registered trademark (or
represent an owner of a registered trademark) and have an objection to content
corresponding to your trademark on Mxpreview.com that is consistent with the
foregoing, or you believe that we have improperly used your registered
trademark to promote Mxpreview.com on a third party website, please provide
the following information in a signed letter on company stationery:
-
Name of Company.
-
Contact information (including email
address).
-
List of registered trademark(s) at issue
including a copy of each relevant federal trademark registration
certificate(s).
-
The identity of the advertisement(s) at
issue (via the URL stated on the bottom line of the ad or other
identifying information). Please indicate if your complaint is
limited to specific advertisers/advertisements or if it is a general
objection to all advertisers.
-
If certain affiliates or partners are
permitted to use your trademark in their ad content, please list
the company names in your letter.
-
Include the following statement: “I have
a good faith belief that use of the trademarks described above
with the advertisements described above are not authorized by
the trademark owner or its agent, nor is such use otherwise
permissible under law.”
-
Include the following statement: “I
represent that the information in this notification is true
and correct and that I am authorized to act on behalf of the
trademark owner.”
-
Your signature.
Please send this written communication with the above
information to the following address:
Master Mind Alliance, LLC
PO Box 258013
Madison, WI 53725
Or via e-mail to: legal@mxpreview.com
Upon receipt of notice as described above,
Mxpreview.com will confirm the existence of the federal registration of the
trademark in question and will take whatever action, in its sole discretion,
it deems appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from
Mxpreview.com. In the event that the challenged content has been provided to
Mxpreview.com by a third party and in Mxpreview.com’s sole discretion, it
concludes that the content is identical to the registered mark and is used in
connection with goods and/or services covered by the trademark owner's federal
registration, Mxpreview.com will provide to notice to the third party prior to
any removal of content. If prior to such removal, the third party demonstrates
that it has its own trademark registration or approved trademark application
covering the challenged content, Mxpreview.com will not remove the
content.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mxpreview.com will
comply as appropriate with the terms of any court order relating to the
behavior of the challenged party identified in such court order.
Termination. You can
cancel your account at any time by contacting

of your account for any reason (including inactivity), at their sole option,
Mxpreview.com and its licensees may continue or stop publicly displaying some

Wisconsin, court to protect the party’s rights or property while arbitration
is pending, and (b) at our option, we may bypass arbitration in cases of fraud

violations of our rights or property.
