Take-Down Notice and Procedure
The Carr8 website (the "Website") operates on a "notice and takedown" basis. If you have any complaints or objections to any material or content on the Website, or if you believe that material or content posted on the Website infringes your copyright or personality rights, please contact us immediately by following our notice and takedown procedure below.
Once this procedure has been followed, Carr8 will make reasonable endeavors to remove potentially illegal content within due time.
If you wish to notify Carr8 of an allegedly defamatory statement or intellectual property rights' infringement contained on the Website, please complete the appropriate notice below.
- Notice of Defamatory Content:
Statements that are true or that reflect a fair and honest opinion (e.g. negative review) are, as a rule, not a sufficient basis for defamation. You should carefully consider the facts before you make a claim (and take legal advice if in doubt), since a false claim may expose you to liability.

If you believe that work or material has been dealt with in a way constituting infringement of your intellectual property rights, please notify Carr8 by using the following ‘Notice to Carr8 of Intellectual Property Rights' Infringement’.
Carr8 reserves the right to ask for verification of your identity and to seek further information from you to clarify the basis of your claim. Please note that Carr8 may not be able to investigate claims that are anonymous or incorrectly addressed or do not provide sufficient information in the form of the notice set out below. We will use reasonable efforts to identify allegedly defamatory or infringing content (when notified), but cannot be held responsible if you have failed to provide us with all the relevant facts or if these facts cannot be ascertained. Any personal data you provide to us will be used in accordance with our Privacy Notice. Please review our Privacy Notice before sending personal data to us.
Any statement you make may be used in court proceedings. Any false, misleading or inaccurate information provided by you may result in civil and criminal liability.
