What do I have to do if my website is counterfeited?

1. First of all, check if it's real copy (and not a simple resumption of some elements that can look like to your creative work) before appealing to justice for counterfeiting.

2. Then, the copy has to be a published document and that everyone can access: these are the main requirements to claim to be subjected to real harms.

3. If the copy is actually a published document that everyone can access, you can start a legal action.

4.Send a registered mail to the counterfeiter, the mail must state that the counterfeiter is using private/protected/copyrighted data and must stop immediately the spreading of this information/content; if he refuses, you will have to appeal to justice.

5. If these requirements are gathered, you can contact us, we will inform you on the way to follow.
