Copyright Infringement Notification

Harman follows the guidelines of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act relative to claims that content on our network infringes a copyright. To file a copyright infringement notification with us, you will need to send written communication that includes substantially the following (please consult your legal counsel or see 17 U.S.C.

2. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

3. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site. If such work or works are online, providing links to them will help expedite our review.

Providing URLs of links to content you claim to be on our network is the best way to help us locate content quickly.

6. A statement that the complaining party has 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.

Harman reserves the right to permanently and without further notice terminate the account and the concomitant network access of any subscriber who repeatedly violates Harman’s terms of use, copyright policy or both.

Trademark Infringement Notification

Harman makes commercially reasonable efforts to avoid unfair or infringing uses of trademarks on its site. If you believe your registered trademark or service mark is being infringed on the Harman platform by a third party, you may lodge a complaint following the process below. Please note that Harman’s policy does not apply to all trademark forms, including without limitation sound, odor, color, and holographic marks, the removal of which Harman will do pursuant to a valid court order.

To make your complaint of trademark misuse, please send the notice to the Harman DMCA Designated Agent set forth above with your claim of trademark infringement and the following information:

1.           The Complainant’s complete name and title

2.           The company, if any, that holds the trademark rights in the mark.

3.           A statement in good faith from you, the Complainant, that the mark infringes your trademark rights;

4.           Your statement, made under penalty of perjury that the information contained in the complaint is accurate, that that you are the owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the trademark rights outlined in your complaint.

5.           A statement that you acknowledge and agree that a copy of this infringement notice, including any contact information provided above, may be provided to the third party Harman site user whose content is the subject of the complaint;

6.           Identifying the mark as it is used on the Harman platform and sufficient information for Harman to identify where it is used on the Harman platform;

7.           Explaining the basis for the claim of infringement including any applicable registration numbers and countries where the mark is registered; and

8.           The Complainant’s contact information,

Please note that you are filing a complaint under penalty of perjury. Accordingly, you may be liable for damages if you materially misrepresent that material is infringing your trademark or service mark.

Once Harman receives a complete trademark infringement notice, we will examine the complaint to determine whether it meets the requisite minimum standards for a complaint, as outlined above, and you will receive a response confirming receipt. You may also receive a response that the complaint is deficient or one for which this process is unsuitable. 

Pursuant to a fully compliant complaint, the information contained in the complaint shall be provided to the party who is the subject of the complaint for response. Harman does not adjudicate claims, including fair use claims, nor does this policy address anything other than ownership of the mark.  In the event the party disputes ownership, the complainant may be required to secure a court order. Otherwise, Harman may limit, remove, or disable access to the claimed infringing material.
