Tempo Copyright & Intellectual Property Policy

This is a preliminary policy. It will be reviewed by legal counsel before Tempo processes real transactions.

1. Overview

Tempo respects intellectual property rights and expects its users to do the same. It is Tempo's policy, in appropriate circumstances, to remove infringing material and to disable or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the intellectual property rights of others.

This policy covers user-submitted content on the Tempo platform — most commonly listing photographs and descriptions. Note that photographing a watch you own and listing it for resale is lawful; trademark concerns arise from counterfeit goods (covered by the Authentication Policy and Seller Agreement), not from accurately identifying a genuine watch by its brand and model.

2. Designated Agent

Send all notices under this policy to Tempo's Designated Agent:

Designated Agent: Copyright Agent Tempo Watches, LLC 680 Jane Stanford Way, E483 Stanford, CA 94305 Phone: (312) 505-4986 Email: admin@tempo-watches.com

3. Copyright Infringement Notices (DMCA)

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act for one) and believe content on Tempo infringes your copyright, send the Designated Agent a written notice including all of the following, per 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3):

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or a representative list, if multiple);
3. Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it (the listing URL is best);
4. Your contact information (name, mailing address, telephone number, and email);
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

On receipt of a complete notice, Tempo will remove or disable access to the identified material promptly, notify the user who posted it, and document the notice.

Misrepresentation warning: under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.

4. Counter-Notices

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send the Designated Agent a counter-notice including:

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal;
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. Your name, address, and telephone number; and
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district (or, if outside the U.S., any district in which Tempo may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.

On receipt of a valid counter-notice, Tempo will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within ten (10) business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, Tempo may restore the removed material in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days.

5. Trademark and Other IP Complaints

For trademark complaints (for example, misuse of a brand's mark in a way that misrepresents affiliation, rather than lawful identification of a genuine watch), or other intellectual property complaints, send the Designated Agent: your contact information and signature; identification of the mark or right (registration number or proof of rights); identification of the challenged use and where it appears; a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; and a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and you are the rights owner or authorized agent. Tempo will review, notify the posting user where appropriate, and take action in its discretion, including removal.

Counterfeit goods: reports that a listed watch itself is counterfeit are handled under the Authentication Policy and Seller Agreement, not this notice process — email admin@tempo-watches.com.

6. Repeat Infringers

Tempo will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users determined to be repeat infringers. Tempo tracks notices per account; accounts accumulating multiple substantiated notices face suspension or termination under the strike framework in the Seller Agreement.

7. Tempo's Own IP

The Tempo platform, software, design, editorial content (including the Library), and the Tempo name and logo are the property of Tempo Watches, LLC. Watch brand names and marks on the platform belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify the goods offered; no affiliation or endorsement is implied.
