Intellectual Property & Copyright Policy
1. Introduction and Statement of Commitment
Gotraka (Tanna’s Limited) (referred to as "we", "us", "our") holds a firm commitment to respecting and protecting intellectual property rights (IPR), including Copyright, Trade Marks, and Design Rights, both for our own business and for third-party rights holders.
This Policy is designed to demonstrate our compliance as a legitimate, authorised retailer and to safeguard our business, our customers, and our partners from infringement issues.
2. Status as an Authorised Reseller (Genuine Goods)
We understand that the Hardware or Software we sell contain valuable third-party intellectual property, most notably the Microsoft Windows Operating System and other pre-installed software. Our business model is predicated on the sale of genuine, legally licensed products.
- Authorised Procurement: All computer hardware and any accompanying or pre-installed software are purchased exclusively from authorised UK/EU distributors or directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
- Genuine Licensing: Every Laptop/PC is supplied with a genuine, valid licence for the pre-installed software (such as Windows). This is typically an OEM licence, and the licence key or digital entitlement is attached to the hardware as intended by the software manufacturer.
- No Unlawful Duplication: We do not install, copy, or distribute any unauthorised, counterfeit, or pirated software. The product sold is precisely as configured and licensed by the original hardware manufacturer or our authorised distributor.
- Trade Mark Use: Any reference to third-party trade marks (e.g., 'Microsoft Windows', 'Intel', 'HP', 'Dell') is made solely to provide an accurate and truthful description of the genuine product being advertised and sold. We do not use such marks in a manner that suggests we are the source or owner of those rights.
