TotalSportek Rights & Ownership Policy | Copyright, Brands & Trademarks

Protecting Creative & Brand Rights

Written material, visual elements, artwork, photographs, logos, company names, trademarks, layouts, graphics, and similar assets may be protected under applicable intellectual property laws. Ownership of these materials remains with the individuals, businesses, organizations, or other parties legally entitled to them. Anyone who believes their intellectual property has been improperly used or referenced may submit relevant information to TotalSportek for consideration.

Use of Sports-Related Names & Information

TotalSportek provides a directory-style environment for general sports information, including teams, fixtures, leagues, competitions, tournaments, participants, event dates, and scheduled activities. References to sports clubs, broadcasters, leagues, governing bodies, businesses, brands, and other organizations may be included strictly to identify the subject being discussed. Such references do not give TotalSportek ownership of any third-party intellectual property or proprietary material.

Names, Marks, Emblems & Visual Identity

Club badges, team crests, league symbols, logos, tournament branding, registered names, marks, emblems, and other distinctive identifiers may belong to their respective owners or licensors. Any reference to these elements on the website is intended to provide clarity about the related sports subject or event. Such use does not by itself indicate permission, licensing, sponsorship, approval, partnership, representation, endorsement, or any other formal connection between TotalSportek and the relevant rights holder.

Submitting an Intellectual Property Concern

Owners or properly authorized representatives who have a concern involving copyright, trademarks, branding, or another protected right may send a notice to TotalSportek containing sufficient information about the matter. Clear and specific submissions help identify the material in question and allow the reported issue to be understood more accurately.

How Submitted Notices May Be Assessed

Reports received by TotalSportek may be considered based on the details supplied, the nature of the allegation, and any documentation included with the notice. Where necessary, additional information may be taken into account to better understand the circumstances. If a submission does not provide enough detail, contains conflicting information, or cannot be adequately confirmed, the sender may be contacted for clarification or further documentation.

Details That Can Strengthen a Report

Providing complete background information can make a rights-related notice easier to assess. Useful material may include the affected page address, details identifying the protected work or trademark, evidence of ownership, proof of authorization where applicable, supporting references, and a straightforward explanation of the action being requested. Notices that omit essential information or provide unclear, inconsistent, or unsupported claims may require further correspondence before they can be properly evaluated.

Who May Raise a Rights-Related Notice

A copyright owner, trademark owner, authorized representative, company, organization, or another party with a valid interest in the matter may raise a relevant intellectual property concern regarding material associated with TotalSportek. Submissions should clearly identify the claimed right, explain the basis of the concern, indicate where the material appears, and specify the resolution or action being sought.

Ownership Remains With the Original Rights Holders

These guidelines do not grant TotalSportek ownership over intellectual property belonging to another party. Copyrights, trademarks, service marks, logos, illustrations, designs, commercial names, symbols, and other protected assets continue to belong to their respective owners. A name, logo, mark, artwork, or other third-party identifier appearing on the website should not be understood as permission to use it, a transfer of ownership, a license, an endorsement, sponsorship, authorization, or proof of an official relationship.
