We have a website where we offer multiple brands. 2 years ago, we started a brand of our own. We added a small (10-page) informational website on our own brand to distinguish it in its own right.
Someone who's made lots of large purchases from us now wants to be a distributor for us in Russia (we are US-based). They asked about using some of the info we have on the product/informational website and we indicated they could.
They replicated/translated 6 of the 10 pages on a website with the same name (but Russian extension - i.e., www.#*$!.ru ).
They asked us to ok this site and we're wondering if we made a mistake in giving them permission to use our materials.
What are the implications of having a US-based website #*$!.com and a Russian-based website #*$!.ru? Is that seen as duplicate content?
Would we be better off asking them to eliminate this website and offer a condensed version as subpages on an entirely different website (they already have)?
Thank you for your help!
