Copyright Dispute Policy
Last updated: 7 October 2026
At Birtle’s Sports, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our suppliers, partners, content providers, and users to do the same.
This Copyright Dispute Policy explains how copyright owners or their authorised representatives can contact us if they believe that content available on birtlessport.store infringes their copyright.
1. Copyright Infringement
We take legitimate copyright concerns seriously.
If we receive a valid copyright complaint, we may take appropriate action, including:
- Reviewing the allegedly infringing material
- Removing or disabling access to content where appropriate
- Contacting relevant parties for additional information
- Correcting or replacing content where necessary
- Taking appropriate action regarding repeated infringements
Use of our website is also subject to our Terms of Service.
Under UK guidance, copyright generally protects original works automatically, and using protected material without permission may constitute infringement unless an applicable exception or licence applies.

Please provide sufficient information for us to identify and review the material concerned.
3. Copyright Notice Requirements
To help us investigate your complaint efficiently, please include:
- Your full name and contact information
- Your email address, telephone number, and postal address
- Details showing that you are the copyright owner or authorised representative
- Identification or description of the copyrighted work
- The URL or other clear identification of the material you believe infringes your rights
- An explanation of the alleged infringement

After receiving a copyright complaint, Birtle’s Sports will review the information provided.
Depending on the circumstances, we may:

- Temporarily restrict access to disputed content
- Contact relevant suppliers or content providers

- Take no action where the complaint cannot be substantiated
The UK Intellectual Property Office advises businesses not to ignore copyright allegations and to assess the validity of claims when they are received.
5. False or Misleading Claims
Please do not submit copyright complaints that you know to be false, misleading, or made in bad faith.
If you are uncertain whether particular material infringes your copyright, you may wish to obtain independent legal or intellectual property advice before submitting a complaint.
6. Repeat Infringements
Where appropriate, Birtle’s Sports may take additional action concerning parties or content providers who repeatedly provide material that infringes intellectual property rights.
This may include restricting content, removing material, or terminating relevant arrangements where appropriate.
7. Resolution of Disputes
Where possible and appropriate, we encourage parties to attempt to resolve legitimate copyright disputes constructively.
UK Intellectual Property Office guidance notes that disputes may sometimes be resolved directly between the parties or through alternative dispute resolution such as mediation before court proceedings become necessary.
Nothing in this policy prevents a copyright owner from exercising any rights or remedies available under applicable law.
