Hostinger International Ltd ("Hostinger Norge") supports the protection of intellectual property. Whether you are the holder of a trademark, service mark, or copyright, Hostinger Norge is committed to helping you protect your legal rights. Therefore, we have established the following policies for considering trademark and/or copyright infringement claims.
Please refer to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "UDRP") if you have a concern or dispute about a registered domain name. Any dispute regarding the registration of domain names will need to be sent either to the registrant or to an ICANN-approved arbitration provider.
This Trademark/Copyright Infringement policy specifically excludes domain name disputes and has been established to allow reporting of possible violations involving other Hostinger Norge products and services.
A. Trademark Claims
1. If you (the "Complaining Party") would like to submit a trademark claim for violation of a mark on which you hold a valid, registered trademark or service mark (registered with the appropriate intellectual property organization of your country; state registrations and registrations on the Supplemental Register are not considered valid for these purposes), Hostinger Norge requests that the Complaining Party substantiate such claim by providing the following information via email to abuse@hostinger.com. The words "Trademark Claim" should appear in the subject line of the email.
To be considered effective, a notification of a claimed trademark violation must include the following information:
2. Upon receipt of the appropriate information identified in Section 1 above, for trademark claims, Hostinger Norge will initiate an investigation and forward the Complaining Party’s written notification to the alleged infringer. While Hostinger Norge is investigating the claim, Hostinger Norge, at its sole discretion and without any legal obligation to do so, may temporarily remove the allegedly infringing material, notify the alleged infringer it will lock down the domain name(s), redirect the DNS,and/or if it is solely stored on a Hostinger Norge server, temporarily remove or deny access to the allegedly infringing material.
3. If Hostinger Norge concludes that the Complaining Party has raised a legitimate trademark claim, it may, at its sole discretion and without any legal obligation to do so, continue to suspend the alleged infringer's Hostinger Norge account and/or if it is solely stored on a Hostinger Norge server, deny access to the allegedly infringing material. If Hostinger Norge concludes that the Complaining Party has not raised a legitimate claim, Hostinger Norge will restore access to the allegedly infringing material.
4. The Complaining Party should understand that Hostinger Norge, an affiliate of ICANN accredited registrar, and its customers are bound by the UDRP. Nothing in this Policy should be construed to supersede the UDRP, nor the obligation of Hostinger Norge and its customers to abide by it in the context of domain name disputes.
