Copyright and Trademark Policy

Last revised January 28, 2025

The Gig Bureau, LLC d/b/a GigSalad (“GigSalad”/“our”/“us”/”we”) respects intellectual property rights. GigSalad may remove content from the GigSalad website and mobile application (the “Site and Application”) that, in our discretion, infringes the intellectual property rights of others. It is our policy in appropriate circumstances to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who, in our discretion, repeatedly infringe or who are repeatedly charged with infringing the intellectual property rights of others.

If you are concerned that any content on the Site and Application infringes any rights you enjoy under copyright law in specific material (a “Work”), please seek legal advice. You may also read basic facts about copyrights published by the United States Copyright Office.

Once you have determined that a violation of your copyright interests (“infringement” for the purposes of this “Notification of Copyright Infringement” this policy) has occurred relative to Work you created or own, you must follow the procedures set forth below:

User-Generated Content

If you believe that content generated by a GigSalad user infringes your copyright interests in your Work, we encourage you first to contact the user responsible for the content about the perceived infringement. You and the user may be able to resolve the issue quickly without GigSalad’s involvement.

If you believe the perceived copyright infringement requires action by GigSalad, you must submit to GigSalad a formal takedown notice (a “Takedown Notice”) fully compliant with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”). The DMCA establishes the procedures to be followed when GigSalad receives a Takedown Notice from a putative copyright holder or agent of a copyright holder (hereafter referred to as the “Complainant”). Submitting a Takedown Notice is a serious matter that has legal consequences, and you may not submit a Takedown Notice based on perceived infringement of someone else’s copyright interests, or of legal interests other than copyright interests. Please be aware that if you knowingly and materially misrepresent that material or activity on our Site and Application is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under section 512(f) of the DMCA.

You may use this claim form provided by GigSalad, or you may prepare your own Takedown Notice. At a minimum, any Takedown Notice submitted to GigSalad for processing must contain at least the following:

  • An identification of the infringed copyrighted work, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single Takedown Notice, a list of all works alleged to have been infringed;
  • An identification of the alleged infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
  • Contact information of the Complainant, including (where available) a mailing address, telephone number, and electronic mail address;
  • A statement that the Complainant 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;
  • A statement that the information contained in the Takedown Notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the Complainant is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive copyright interest that is being infringed; and
  • A physical or electronic signature of the Complainant.

You must submit the completed Takedown Notice to GigSalad’s designated agent under the DMCA, which may be found in the DMCA Designated Agent Directory and is provided below:

The Gig Bureau, LLC d/b/a GigSalad
Attn: DMCA Designated Agent
2733 E. Battlefield Rd, Box 105
Springfield, MO 65804

Telephone: 417.889.9909
Fax: 417.863.9788
Email: dmca@gigsalad.com

Upon receipt of a Takedown Notice GigSalad deems substantially complete and valid, we will follow the notice, takedown and counter-notification procedures set forth in section 512(c) of the DMCA, beginning with expeditiously removing, or disabling access to, the complained-of material. Please be advised that we may provide an alleged infringer with any communications about the claimed infringement, including the Takedown Notice submitted by you. We may also provide any counter notifications received and communication related thereto, to the provider of the original notice of claimed infringement, as well as any contact information we have on file for the alleged infringer.

Other Content

If you believe the perceived copyright infringement involves content generated by GigSalad, rather than users of our Site and Application, please contact us with a detailed explanation of the perceived infringement. We will review what you send and promptly take appropriate action, in our discretion, if any action is required.

Notification of Trademark Infringement

If you are concerned that a GigSalad user or any content on the Site and Application violates your trademark rights, please seek legal advice. You may also read basic information about trademark rights made available by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Once you have determined that a violation of your trademark rights (“infringement” for the purposes of this “Notification of Trademark Infringement” of this policy) has occurred, we encourage you to contact the GigSalad user responsible for the content about the perceived infringement. You and the user may be able to resolve the issue quickly without GigSalad’s involvement.

If you believe the perceived trademark infringement requires action by GigSalad, you may choose (i) to utilize the Trademark Dispute System offered by GigSalad, if available, or (ii) to submit a formal claim of perceived infringement to GigSalad in accordance with the following provisions of this policy. Submitting a claim of perceived infringement is a serious matter that has legal consequences, and you may not submit a claim of perceived infringement of someone else’s trademark rights.

To submit a claim of perceived trademark infringement of Your Mark, please fill out all fields in this claim form, and fax, mail, or email the completed claim to GigSalad as follows:

The Gig Bureau, LLC d/b/a GigSalad
Attn: IP Enforcement Agent
2733 E. Battlefield Rd, Box 105
Springfield, MO 65804

Telephone: 417.889.9909
Fax: 417.863.9788
Email: trademarks@gigsalad.com

To be considered a complete claim, you will be required to provide all of the following information:

  • The specific word, term, design, image or other device in which you claim trademark rights (“Your Mark”);
  • Your full name, mailing address, email address, and phone number;
  • A summary of the goods and/or services sold or offered by you under Your Mark;
  • The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) or Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) registration number for Your Mark, if registered;
  • The URL, or other information, sufficient to permit GigSalad to locate and identify the material you contend infringes Your Mark;
  • A detailed description of how you believe the reported material infringes Your Mark;
  • A declaration, under penalty of perjury, that either (a) you are the owner of Your Mark, or (b) you are an authorized representative of the owner (including an explanation of your relationship to the owner of Your Mark);
  • A declaration, under penalty of perjury, that: (a) you believe in good faith that content complained of is not authorized by the owner of Your Mark, its agent, or the law; and (b) the information contained in the completed claim form is accurate in all respects; and
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

GigSalad will process any claim complying with the foregoing. If we believe, in our sole discretion, that you have established a prima facie claim of trademark infringement, we will: (a) promptly suspend the user or disable access to the complained-of material, (b) notify the user of your claim, and (c) remove the material or user from the Site and Application or take other action(s) to address the perceived infringement; however, if such user promptly provides GigSalad with persuasive evidence or arguments, in GigSalad’s discretion, that show the complained-of materials likely do not infringe Your Mark and should not have been removed, we will reinstate the user and/or restore the materials. If we decide to restore any such material, we will notify you and encourage you to reach out directly to the user about your claim or pursue other recourse that may be available under applicable law.

Please be advised that we may, in our discretion, provide an alleged infringer with any communications from you about the perceived infringement, including the claim form submitted by you, as well as any contact information we have on file for you. We may also provide any responses received and communication related thereto, to the provider of the original notification of perceived infringement.
