7. Enforcement

7.1 Monitoring

BitLease monitors for unauthorized use of its intellectual property through technical measures (access controls, rate limiting, bot detection, DRM), automated monitoring of the internet for unauthorized reproduction of Platform content or misuse of BitLease trademarks, reporting from employees, partners, and users, and periodic reviews of domain registrations, social media, and app stores for confusingly similar marks or infringing applications.

Unauthorized use of BitLease’s intellectual property is taken seriously and may result in a range of actions. These include formal cease demands to stop the infringing activity, immediate termination of the infringer’s Platform account, technical measures such as blocking of access, API key revocation, and IP banning, UDRP proceedings or equivalent domain name dispute resolution for infringing domain registrations, opposition proceedings against confusingly similar trademark applications, civil litigation for intellectual property infringement (including claims for injunctive relief, damages including statutory damages where available, and recovery of legal costs), criminal referral to law enforcement for criminal intellectual property offenses where applicable (including under ADGM criminal law, UAE federal IP law, and the laws of any jurisdiction where infringement occurs), and regulatory reporting to relevant authorities where IP infringement intersects with financial crime or unauthorized financial services.
