What is protected by copyright on this site
Every product card, every photo of a finished unit and every paragraph of description appears here for a reason. The texts are written specifically for this catalogue, the photographs of models such as «Krepysh», «Atlet» or the children's «Maugli» are taken in our own workshop in Zaslavl, and the assembly and placement diagrams are drawn for particular products. All of this is subject to copyright and is protected under the legislation of the Republic of Belarus on copyright and related rights.
Protection covers not only the text of an article itself, but also its structure: the order of the sections, the wording of the headings, the composition of the specification tables and the captions under the photographs. Even if someone rephrases a paragraph yet fully reproduces the logic of the presentation and the choice of arguments, that too may be regarded as borrowing another author's work.
What the site's content is made of
- Original texts about wall bars — model reviews, buying guides, articles on safety and mounting.
- Photographs of finished products, shots taken in the workshop, images of assembly and packaging.
- Graphics: icons, infographics with dimensions, wall-mounting diagrams.
- The catalogue structure — the division into categories, the filter logic, the make-up of the product cards.
- The texts of the pages about the company, delivery terms and the offer for wholesale partners.
The right to use any of the materials listed above belongs to the manufacturer. Copying, reprinting and borrowing without consent is an infringement, even where the source was left out not out of malice but simply through carelessness.
Respect for the copyright of others
A content protection policy works both ways. This site does not publish competitors' photographs, other people's texts, or illustrations borrowed from blogs and forums without permission. When an article calls for an image that cannot be produced in-house (for example, a diagram from a standard or a publicly available regulatory document), it is handled as a citation with the source named, not as an appropriation of authorship.
This approach saves time and nerves on both sides: the manufacturer never has to apologise for an accidentally borrowed fragment of someone else's text, and the authors of original content never have to prove the obvious. If a rights holder nevertheless believes that some material has been used without proper grounds, the sections below explain where and how to get in touch.
How to file a copyright complaint
Notices are accepted through the site's contact section — the form, phone or messenger listed on the /en/#contacts page. So that a complaint is dealt with quickly and on its merits, rather than getting lost among ordinary questions about the price of a set of wall bars, it helps to include several mandatory items straight away.
What a notice should contain
- A precise description of the item whose rights have been infringed: text, photograph, diagram or a specific section of the page.
- A direct link (URL) to the page on the site where the disputed material is located.
- Proof that the rights belong to the complainant: the original file with its metadata, the date of first publication, a contract with the author, or other confirmation.
- The complainant's contact details — a name and a means of getting back to them on the substance of the complaint.
- A good-faith statement: confirmation that the complainant genuinely believes an infringement has occurred and is not acting to pressure a competitor.
- The complainant's signature — for a written notice this is a handwritten signature; for an electronic one, a full name and contact details that serve as a signature for the purposes of the notice.
| What to provide | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Description of the item | To understand exactly which material is in question |
| Page URL | To find the disputed spot quickly, without lengthy correspondence |
| Proof of rights | To tell a genuine rights holder from a chance complainant |
| Contact details | For follow-up questions and a reply once the check is done |
| Good-faith statement | Confirms serious intent rather than an attempt to apply pressure |
| Signature | Gives the notice the status of a formal statement |
A notice missing at least some of these points will still be accepted for review, but the process may drag on: the missing details will have to be requested separately, and that is time that could have gone towards actually resolving the infringement.
How a complaint is reviewed and material is removed
Once a notice arrives, the material is checked against the description: the URL, the page content and the substance of the claim are compared. If the infringement is obvious and supported by documents, the disputed text, photograph or fragment is taken down or replaced with an in-house version within a reasonable period.
If the situation is ambiguous — for example, the complainant has attached no proof of rights or the description of the item is vague — they are contacted using the details provided to clarify matters. While the review is under way the material may stay on the page: this does not mean the complaint has been accepted, only that the decision is being taken carefully rather than on the strength of a single message.
The speed of review depends on how complete the submitted information is. A notice with clear evidence and a direct link is processed noticeably faster than a message along the lines of "there's someone else's picture somewhere on your site".
Counter-notice
If material has been removed following a complaint but the page author is sure that they used their own or licensed content, they have the right to submit a counter-notice. It sets out the same elements: a description of the material, a link to the page (or its former address), proof that the use was lawful, contact details and a signature.
A counter-notice is reviewed just as carefully as the original complaint. The aim is not to mechanically grant every request, but to work out who actually holds the rights to the disputed text, the photo of a set of wall bars, or the graphic element. If the page author's arguments prove weightier, the material is restored to its former place.
Repeat infringements
If one and the same source systematically sends unfounded claims or, on the contrary, is repeatedly caught borrowing someone else's content (in cases involving partner materials or guest posts on the site), this is recorded separately. Repeated, confirmed infringements by third parties copying the site's content justify a tougher stance: from a formal claim to contacting the competent authorities if an out-of-court settlement does not help.
The same applies to situations where a copyright complaint is used as a pretext to get legitimately published material removed — for example, a comparison of the «Vershina» and «Vertikal» models setting out their features. Repeated attempts of this kind do not go unnoticed either.
Unsupported complaints are not grounds for removal
A notice with no minimum set of evidence — just the assertion "this is mine" without a link, a file or contact details — cannot be the sole basis for taking material down. Otherwise any competitor could remove, say, the description of wall bars with a pull-up bar or the section on wall bars for the home with a single phrase, without troubling themselves with a shred of evidence.
A claim is therefore considered on its merits only when it contains at least a minimum set of facts: what exactly has been infringed, where precisely the material is located, and why the complainant considers themselves the rights holder. This approach protects both bona fide authors and the catalogue itself from manipulation through bogus complaints.
If you are not sure where to turn
You do not have to frame a claim in precise legal language — a plain, human explanation is enough: what you saw, where, and why you believe it infringes your rights. The form and contact details are gathered in the /en/#contacts section, where you can also clarify any question, including cases that are not about direct copying but about partial borrowing — a reworked model description or a similar set of photographs from the gymnastic wall bars section.
Such borderline cases are handled individually: not every similarity of wording means an infringement, but neither does an explanation like "we were just inspired" settle the question of authorship. Common sense and an open dialogue usually resolve the situation faster than formal correspondence.
The key points to remember
The site's content — texts, photographs, graphics and the very structure in which the material is presented — belongs to the manufacturer and is protected by copyright law. Third-party material is used here only with respect for the rights of its authors. An infringement complaint is filed through the contact section with a description of the item, a link, proof of rights, the complainant's contact details and a signature — then it is reviewed quickly and to the point. The author of a disputed publication has the right to a counter-notice, and unsupported notices with no evidence do not automatically become grounds for removing material.
