Terms of Service
Abuse, Trademark, Copyright
Whether you are the holder of a trademark, service mark, or copyright, We are committed to helping you protect your legal rights. Therefore, we have established the following policies for considering trademark and/or copyright infringement claims.
Domain Name Dispute Claims
Please refer to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "UDRP") if you have a concern or dispute concerning a registered domain name. The UDRP covers domain names disputes; this policy specifically excludes domain name disputes.
Copyright and Trademark Claims
To notify Us that there has been a copyright or trademark violation, please follow the specific instructions in (2.1) for filing a trademark claim, or (2.2) filing a copyright complaint.
If you are responding to a complaint of infringement, you will need to follow our Counter Notification policy in (2.3).
Trademark Claims
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 United States Patent and Trademark Office or, for foreign marks, registered with the appropriate intellectual property organization of your country; state registrations are not considered valid for these purposes), We request that the Complaining Party substantiate such claim by providing the following information via email to support [at] acenda.com. The words "Trademark Claim" should appear in the subject line.
To be considered effective, a notification of a claimed trademark violation must include the following information:
- The trademark, service mark, trade dress, name, or other indicia of origin ("mark") that is claimed to be infringed, including registration number.
- The jurisdiction or geographical area to which the mark applies.
- The name, post office address and telephone number of the owner of the mark identified above.
- The goods and/or services covered by or offered under the mark identified above.
- The date of first use of the mark identified above.
- The date of first use in interstate commerce of the mark identified above.
- A description of the manner in which the Complaining Party believes its mark is being infringed upon.
- Sufficient evidence that the owner of the website (the “Posting Party”) that is claimed to be infringing is Our customer.
- The precise location of the infringing mark, including electronic mail address, etc.
A good faith certification, signed under penalty of perjury, stating:
- The content of the website [identify website] infringes the rights of another party
- The name of such said party
- The mark [identify mark] being infringed, and
- That use of the content of the website claimed to be infringing at issue is not defensible.
Upon receipt of the appropriate information identified in Section 2.1.2 above, for trademark claims, We will initiate an investigation. While We are investigating the claim, We, at our sole discretion and without any legal obligation to do so, may notify the Posting Party it will lock down the Posting Party's domain name(s), redirect the Posting Party's DNS, forward the Complaining Party's written notification to the Posting Party, and/or if it is solely stored on Our server, temporarily remove or deny access to the challenged material.
If We conclude that the Complaining Party has raised a legitimate trademark claim, We may, at Our sole discretion and without any legal obligation to do so, continue to suspend the Posting Party's account and/or if it is solely stored on Our server, deny access to the challenged material. If We conclude that the Complaining Party has not raised a legitimate claim or if it is not clear whether the Complaining Party has raised a legitimate claim, We will restore access to the challenged material subject to a valid court order.
Copyright Claims
If the Complaining Party would like to submit a copyright claim for material on which you hold a bona fide copyright, We request that the Complaining Party substantiate such claim by providing Us with the following information via email to support [at] acenda.com. The words "Copyright Claim" should appear in the subject line. A copyright claim can also be submitted by mail to: Copyright Agent, Acenda, 8400 Miramar Road, Suite 290, San Diego, CA 92126.
To be considered effective, a notification of a claimed copyright infringement must be provided to Us and must include the following information:
- An electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive copyright that has allegedly been infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on that site.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Us to locate the material.
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit Us to contact the Complaining Party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the Complaining Party may be contacted.
- A statement that the Complaining Party 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 in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the Complaining Party is the owner, or is authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
For Copyright Claims, upon receipt of appropriate notification from the Complaining Party, pursuant to Section 2.2.2 of Copyright Claims above, We will notify the Posting Party of such complaint and subsequently will remove or disable access to the material that is claimed to be infringing unless a proper Counter Notification has been provided.
Counter Notification Policy
If you have received a notice of copyright or trademark infringement, you may provide Counter Notification by emailing support [at] acenda.com and including the following:
- An electronic signature of the Posting Party.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that the Posting Party has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
- The Posting Party’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the Posting Party consents to the jurisdiction of the federal courts in the Southern and Central Districts of California, or if the Posting Party's address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which We may be found, and that the Posting Party will accept service of process from the Complaining Party or an agent of such Party.
Upon receipt of a Counter Notification as described in Section 3 above, We shall promptly provide the Complaining Party with a copy of the Counter Notification, and inform such Party that we will replace the removed material, if any, or cease disabling access to it in ten (10) business days. If any material has been removed or disabled, we will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it in not less than ten (10), nor more than fourteen (14), business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless We first receive notice from the Complaining Party that such Complaining Party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the Posting Party from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on Our system or network.
Repeat Infringers
It is Our policy to provide for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of Our customers and account holders who repeatedly violate this policy or are repeat infringers of copyrighted works, trademarks or any other intellectual property.
Processing Fees
To cover the increasing cost of processing abuse claims, We reserve the right to charge Our Customer a processing fee for each instance of notification received from a legitimate copyright holder.

Your Consent
By using and/or visiting the Website, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personally Identifiable Information and all other information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Effective Date
The Effective Date of this Acenda Policy is January 1, 2014.
Transfer Policy
This Transfer Policy is incorporated by reference in Your Master Subscription Agreement, including any supplemental terms (collectively the “Agreement”) with Acenda. Capitalized terms used in this Transfer Policy shall have the meaning given in the Agreement.
We will only provide access to an account to the designated Owner or Point of Contact of that account regardless of whether someone else maintains, pays for or otherwise administers the account. The "Owner" of the account is the person or entity whose name was used to set up the account. Only the Owner will be authorized to transfer the ownership of the store or other Services. We are not a court of law and will not arbitrate or adjudicate disputes between potential Owners. If there is a dispute of the named Owner's right to the store or Services, We will comply with any court order or settlement agreement.
Transfer
To transfer ownership of one of Your store orders, we will need a signed, notarized copy of the Transfer of Ownership form. As an alternative, You may send a faxed copy of a notarized contract or sales agreement signed by both current and new account holders as long as it specifically mentions the online store account as part of the sales agreement. Once completed, please fax the form to (858) 549-9493, marked to the attention of Account Services.
Then the new owner must visit Our website and purchase a separate store order. In the comments section of the form, write, "Ownership transfer request; please mirror www._______.com". If the new owner intends to use the domain name configured on the original account, We will have to cancel the original account so that We can set up the new account. If the new Owner intends to use a new domain name, We will keep the original account active and perform the mirror, in which case you would need to fill out the online cancellation form for Your account once the data has been copied for the new Owner.
Limitations.
Please note that an existing SSL certificate cannot be transferred from the existing account to the new account. A new one will need to be added to the new order, or purchased separately later. Please be sure that the domain registration's WHOIS information matches the new order details. Note that the store will only be accessible at its new temporary address for up to 72 hours while the updated settings propagate.
If You have Our Merchant Services, You will not be able to transfer ownership of that account to the new Owner. The new Owner may sign up for one. The original merchant service account will have to be manually canceled.
In addition, email cannot be transferred along with store data. We recommend that You locally archive any sensitive email data prior to requesting transfer. If You have questions about how to do so, please contact Technical Support.
Administrative Updates.
Please note that once the new Owner places a store order, We recommend that You place Your store in maintenance mode and refrain from any administrative updates, as new data added during or after the copying procedure may fail to appear in new owner's store, and/or may cause duplication of database record ID#s. This will also prevent customers from placing orders which might be affected by the data copying. Since PCI guidelines prevent us from copying full credit card data, any order which is not captured prior to copying cannot be captured from the new, copied Acenda store.
Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy
This Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (“UDRP”) is incorporated by reference in Your Master Subscription Agreement, including any supplemental terms (collectively the “Agreement”) with Acenda. Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used in this UDRP shall have the meaning given in the Agreement. Your use of the Services may be suspended or terminated for violation of this UDRP in accordance with the Agreement.
The UDRP is a policy required and maintained by ICANN. The most recent version can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/udrp/#udrp and is incorporated herein.
