ShopResources.com will not assume responsibility for the content that appears on an outside website. This includes any website that has been linked to and/or is accessible from ShopResources.com. Any trademark dispute with a third-party should be taken up with that party, not ShopResources.com.

In the case that you believe your Trademark rights have been violated, there is a limited amount of action that ShopResources.com can take. If we determine that your trademark complaint is reasonable we can perform a limited investigation.

Owners of registered trademarks, or those representing registered trademark owners, who believe that a portion of the ShopResources.com website infringes on their trademark rights can submit a complaint by including the following information in an email to one of our trademark agents.

Please send the above information to the following email address:

Trademarkcomplaints@shopresources.com

Once your email had been received our trademark agents will investigate the legitimacy of your trademark claim, including confirming the existence of the federal registration of the trademark in question. Once legitimacy has been established, ShopResources.com will take appropriate action. If the third party is able to provide proof of their own registered trademark or application that has been approved for the content in question ShopResources.com will not remove the content. However, if the third party cannot provide proof we will notify them of the trademark infringement and may remove the content in question.

In the case that a court order has been issued, ShopResources.com will comply with the terms stated within appropriately.
