Mechanism For Notification Of Intellectual Property Disputes

At Onside, we are committed to respecting and protecting intellectual property rights. We provide a clear and accessible mechanism for developers, users, Apple, rights holders, and other parties to notify us of intellectual property disputes related to the Onside marketplace or iOS apps distributed through it.

Onside is operated by Onside.io B.V.

Required Information For Intellectual Property Notifications

To allow us to process intellectual property complaints efficiently, all notifications must include the following information:

1. Identification of the intellectual property right claimed to have been infringed (e.g., copyright, trademark, patent).

2. Identification of the material alleged to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to locate it within the marketplace.

3. Contact information of the complaining party, including name, address, telephone number, and email address.

4. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the intellectual property owner, its agent, or applicable law.

5. A statement that the information provided in the notification is accurate and that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the intellectual property rights holder.

Notifications that do not include the required information may be delayed or rejected.

Handling Of Intellectual Property Disputes

Upon receipt of a complete intellectual property notification, Onside will take the following steps:

1. Acknowledge receipt of the notification without undue delay.

2. Review the claim to assess its validity and scope.

3. Notify the developer or party responsible for the allegedly infringing content and provide an opportunity to respond or provide clarification.

4. Take appropriate action based on the outcome of the review, including removal or disabling access to the content where infringement is reasonably determined.

Removal Or Disabling Of Infringing Content

If content distributed through the marketplace is determined to infringe intellectual property rights, Onside will take prompt action, which may include:

• Temporarily disabling access to the content while the dispute is under review

• Permanently removing infringing content from the marketplace

• Suspending updates or distribution of the affected app

Actions are taken proportionately based on the nature and severity of the infringement.

Counter-Notifications And Developer Response

Developers may respond to intellectual property claims by submitting clarification, evidence of authorization, or other relevant documentation. Where appropriate, Onside may reinstate content if the dispute is resolved or if infringement is not established.

Repeat Infringers

Onside maintains a policy to address repeated intellectual property violations. If a developer is found to repeatedly distribute infringing content, Onside may take escalating enforcement actions, including:

1. Issuing formal warnings and compliance notices

2. Increased monitoring of submissions

3. Suspension or termination of the developer’s account

4. Permanent removal from the marketplace in cases of continued non-compliance
