E. PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING AN ALLEGED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT TO SOURCE ASEAN


If you believe that Source ASEAN, or another party submitting material to the Site, has infringed your trademark, copyright, patent or any other intellectual property rights, we encourage you to bring it to our attention with specific details about the alleged infringement. Source ASEAN will promptly evaluate your complaint and take appropriate action or contact you directly for further information. Source ASEAN recommends that users and visitors exercise caution and prudence in taking this course of action or in raising vague, inaccurate, misleading or frivolous disputes about the alleged infringement of intellectual property rights.


To file a notice of infringement with Source ASEAN, send us a soft copy of written notification (MS Word file or PDF file or letter scanned as a JPG or GIF) attached to an email to admin@sourceasean.com.


The written notification of infringement must include the following:



  • A signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

  • Identification of the material claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple works at the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at the Site.

  • Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material.

  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.

  • A statement that “I have a good faith belief that use of the materials described above is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law. I swear, under penalty of perjury, that whatever information is provided by me in this notification is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge and that I am the sole intellectual property owner or the only one who is authorized to report on behalf of the owner of this exclusive right that has been allegedly infringed.”

  • Without all of the above information, Source ASEAN will not accept that your infringement notification is made in good faith.


Upon receipt and acceptance of your written notification, Source ASEAN will supply you with a physical address to which you should send a hard copy.


You may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you deliberately or materially misrepresent that information or any activity or function of Source ASEAN (or another party) infringed your rights. Accordingly, if you are uncertain about intellectual property claims and legal notification, we recommend that you contact an attorney.
