This IP & Copyright Notice ("Notice") describes the intellectual-property rights asserted by Motley Exim Co. ("MECo", "we", "our") in motleyexim.com ("Site") and in our products, the limited permissions we grant for use of Site content, the conduct we prohibit, and the channel for sending us takedown notices in respect of allegedly infringing third-party material that may be hosted on the Site.
Reservation of rights. All trademarks, copyrights, design rights, and other intellectual-property rights in the Site, in our product names, in our logos and visual identity, and in our product designs and technical content are owned by or licensed to MECo. No licence is granted by mere access to the Site or by any silence or omission on MECo's part.
1. Trademarks
| Mark | Class of goods / status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CAMPRO® | Camouflage textile and concealment systems | Registered trademark; use is restricted to goods supplied by or under licence from MECo |
| MECO® | Defence paints and applied-coating services | Registered trademark; the corporate name "Motley Exim Co." is used in long form for legal documents |
| FIRE ARMOR® | Fire-suppression coatings, pads, stickers, and tapes | Registered trademark; the FIRE ARMOR product family is identified by hot-pink secondary livery on this Site |
| Motley Exim Co. | Trade name and corporate name | Use of the name in news, journalistic, or factual reference is permitted within the limits of fair use; use as a brand identifier is reserved |
| Hexagon-shield logo, "M" mark, and visual identity | Logo, device, and trade dress | Reserved; reproduction requires written licence |
The use of "®" indicates a mark MECo has registered with the relevant trademark registry; "™" (where used) indicates a mark for which MECo claims rights based on use even though registration may be pending or may not be sought in every jurisdiction. Registration in any one jurisdiction does not, of itself, confer rights in another jurisdiction; however, common-law and passing-off rights in the marks are asserted globally on the basis of MECo's use since 1999 (and use of certain product marks since 1986 under the predecessor brand "Carris Coatings"). Foreign-jurisdiction registration details are available on request from info@motleyexim.com.
2. Copyright
Copyright in the text, photographs, illustrations, schematics, technical drawings, datasheets, video, audio, code, structured-data files, downloadable PDFs, and the layout / arrangement of the Site (collectively, "Site Content") is owned by MECo or licensed to MECo by the relevant third-party rights-holder. Site Content is protected under the Copyright Act, 1957 (India), and the corresponding copyright legislation of countries that are members of the Berne Convention, the WIPO Copyright Treaty, the TRIPS Agreement, and the Universal Copyright Convention.
The compilation copyright in the Site as a database or compilation of independently-authored elements is also asserted under Section 13(1)(a) and Section 14 of the Copyright Act, 1957.
3. Permitted Use
Subject to the prohibitions in Section 4, you may, without a separate licence:
- view the Site for the purposes of evaluating MECo's products and services for procurement;
- print or save individual pages of the Site for personal procurement reference and internal procurement-team review;
- quote short, accurately-attributed passages from the Site in journalistic, academic, or analyst commentary, in line with the fair-dealing exception in Section 52(1)(a) of the Copyright Act, 1957;
- link to the Site from your own site, provided the link does not present the Site or its content in a way that is misleading, derogatory, or that suggests endorsement that has not been given.
4. Prohibited Use
You may not, without our prior written permission:
- copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, or sub-licence Site Content beyond the limits set out in Section 3;
- use Site Content as part of a training corpus for any machine-learning, large-language-model, retrieval-augmented-generation, or similar system. The Site is published with a "no-AI-training" intent and our robots.txt and llms.txt direct AI crawlers accordingly. Crawling for the purpose of building a training set is, in our view, not within the fair-dealing or fair-use exceptions of any major jurisdiction in respect of substantial extracts of a commercial database;
- create derivative works (translations, adaptations, edits, condensations, fan-art, "remixed" datasheets) from Site Content;
- scrape, frame, mirror, or systematically index the Site, beyond the bandwidth and behaviour permitted by our robots.txt and our Terms of Service;
- use the trademarks listed in Section 1 in your domain name, social-media handle, store name, app name, advertising, comparison page, or in any way likely to suggest a trade connection that does not exist;
- use the marks in a manner that disparages MECo, its products, or its customers;
- remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, watermark, or attribution notice on Site Content;
- use the Site or Site Content in connection with any unlawful activity, including without limitation the development, manufacture, or proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, missile-technology systems, or other items prohibited under the Wassenaar Arrangement, the Missile Technology Control Regime, the Australia Group, the Nuclear Suppliers Group, or the SCOMET list.
5. Third-Party IP Hosted on the Site
The Site may, from time to time, host or link to third-party material — for example, manufacturer brand logos in a customer-reference panel, product-test certificates issued by independent labs, or quotations from defence-domain journalism. Such material is the property of the relevant third-party rights-holder, used either with permission, under fair-dealing, or for purposes of factual reference. If you believe any such material is hosted on the Site without authorisation, please send a takedown notice in accordance with Section 7.
6. Open-Source and Third-Party Components
The Site uses a small number of open-source and licensed third-party components — including but not limited to typography (Montserrat, JetBrains Mono), search (Pagefind), animation (GSAP licence held by MECo where applicable), schema (Schema.org), and analytics (Google Analytics 4 / Google Tag Manager). Each such component is used in accordance with the licence granted by its author. Acknowledgements are recorded internally and are available on request to info@motleyexim.com.
7. Takedown Procedure
If you are a rights-holder (or an authorised agent of a rights-holder) and you believe that material hosted on the Site infringes your copyright, trademark, design right, or other intellectual-property right, please send us a notice that includes:
- your full name, postal address, telephone number, and email;
- identification of the right you assert (registered trademark number, copyright work title, design number, etc.);
- the URL on motleyexim.com where the allegedly infringing material is found, and a description sufficient to allow us to locate it;
- a statement of the basis on which you believe the material is infringing — for example, that it is a substantial reproduction of your work for which no licence has been given;
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use complained of is not authorised by the rights-holder, its agent, or the law;
- a statement, made under penalty of perjury where your jurisdiction permits, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights-holder or authorised to act on its behalf;
- your physical or electronic signature.
Send the notice to info@motleyexim.com with the subject line "IP / Copyright takedown notice", or to the postal address set out in Section 11.
This procedure mirrors the model adopted by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 1998 (US) and aligns with our intermediary obligations under Rule 3(1)(d) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 (India). MECo does not waive any remedy available to it (including a counter-action for groundless threats under Section 142 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, or for misuse of takedown process) by acknowledging or acting on a notice.
8. Counter-Notice
If material posted by a user, contributor, or third-party with whom MECo has a contractual relationship has been removed or disabled following a takedown notice, the affected party may submit a counter-notice including: identification of the material removed; a statement that the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification; the affected party's full name, address, and email; and consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court for any suit relating to the material. We will consider the counter-notice and, where appropriate, restore the material with notice to the original complainant.
9. Repeat-Infringer Policy
MECo terminates, in appropriate circumstances and in line with Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000, the access of users found to be repeat infringers of intellectual-property rights of third parties.
10. Remedies for Infringement
MECo will pursue, in respect of any infringement of its rights described in Sections 1 and 2, all remedies available in law and in equity, including:
- civil action under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 (India) §§ 27–29, 134, 135, including ex-parte injunctions, Anton Piller / John Doe orders where appropriate, damages, and account of profits;
- civil action under the Copyright Act, 1957 (India) §§ 51–58, 62, including injunctions, damages, and account of profits;
- civil action under the Designs Act, 2000 (India) §§ 22–24 where a registered design is infringed;
- action against passing-off at common law;
- criminal action under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 §§ 102–108 (falsification, false marks, false trade description);
- criminal action under the Copyright Act, 1957 §§ 63–66 (offences relating to infringement);
- customs action under the Intellectual Property Rights (Imported Goods) Enforcement Rules, 2007 to seize infringing imports at the border;
- action under foreign legislation in any jurisdiction in which the relevant right has been registered or in which MECo has accrued common-law rights through use.
