Intellectual Property Rights Policy

Global Village Concerns, Inc. ("GVC") provides participating schools and institutions with a branding, merchandising and fundraising program via an automated internet-based service. GVC designs, produces and sells custom-made merchandise for each participating institution.

All artwork under the branding program including logos and mascots are the exclusive property of GVC which it licenses back to participating institutions under a free right-of-use licensing agreement. We prohibit third party vendors from using the artwork to sell merchandise that infringes third party intellectual property rights (such as copyright, trademark, trade dress and right of publicity) and for their own commercial benefit without prior written consent from GVC.

We encourage intellectual property rights benefactors to contact us if they believe that a vendor has infringed their rights.

If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been infringed by a third party vendor, please provide us with a notification that contains the following information:

The name and contact information including website of the vendor or person unauthorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other rights that have been allegedly infringed.

Identification of the copyright, trademark or other rights that have been allegedly infringed.
Your name, address, telephone number and email address.

A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent or the law.
