1.3  Third Party Content

However, TicketGateway takes intellectual property rights seriously. For that reason, we have created a simple process to deal with complaints of alleged infringement of third party trademark rights and copyrights by Third Party Content posted on the Services. This process covers copyrights (e.g., written text, photographs, sound recordings and video clips) and trademarks/service marks (e.g., logos, slogans and names identifying a good or service).

The following policy sets forth the process by which any third party who believes that Third Party Content is infringing their trademark and/or copyrights may have such Content removed from the Services.

2. Removing and Re-Posting Of Third Party Content


2.1  Getting Allegedly Infringing Content Removed

If you believe in good faith that any Third-Party Content made available in connection with the Services infringes your copyright or trademark rights, you (or your agent) may send us a takedown notice requesting that the Content be removed, or access to it be blocked. Such takedown notices need to contain the following information in order for TicketGateway to be able to take action:

  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit TicketGateway to contact you (i.e., name and address, telephone number and/or email address);
  • Sufficient information to identify the copyrighted works or trademarks that are allegedly being infringed, including registration number and registration office if applicable;
  • Sufficient information to identify the allegedly infringing material that is to be removed and its Internet location (i.e., URL address);
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the owner, its agent or the law;
  • A statement of the accuracy of the takedown notice, and under penalty of perjury, a statement that you are the owner of the allegedly infringed material or you are authorized to act on behalf of such owner; and
  • A physical or electronic signature of the person submitting the takedown notice.

The simplest and most efficient way to submit a written takedown notice is by reporting the infringement to our Trust and Safety Team, which is our DMCA/Trademark Agent, at ticketservice@TicketGateway.com.

  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit TicketGateway to contact you (i.e., name and address, telephone number and/or email address);
  • Sufficient information to identify the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and its location before removal (i.e., URL address);
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have the good faith belief that the material was removed or access to the material was disabled by mistake or misidentification;
  • A statement that you are the account holder of the account to which the takedown notice relates or an authorized representative of such account holder;
  • A statement that you consent to jurisdiction of the federal district court in which your address is located, or if you reside outside the United States, for any judicial district in which TicketGateway may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of infringement or an agent of such person; and
  • A physical or electronic signature of you or your authorized representative (i.e., an agent).

The simplest and most efficient way to submit a written counter notice is reporting the notice to our Trust and Safety Team, which is our DMCA/Trademark Agent, at ticketservice@TicketGateway.com.
