Intellectual Property Claim

Voguetales (https://voguetales.shop/) respects the intellectual property rights of creators, designers, artists, and trademark holders. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy against unauthorized copyright infringement, trademark violations, or the sale of counterfeit merchandise.

This Intellectual Property Claim policy outlines the formal protocols for rights holders to submit a notice of alleged infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and general intellectual property laws. It also details the procedure for our specialized women’s apparel store (including T-shirts, dresses, and hoodies) to act swiftly upon such notices.

1. Compliance Statement & Rights Protection

All content featured on the Site—including but not limited to website layouts, editorial copy, product photography, custom graphic apparel prints, design frameworks, logotypes, and branding elements—is the exclusive property of Voguetales or our licensed supplier networks.

Conversely, we make every effort to ensure our original fashion collections do not inadvertently cross-examine or infringe upon existing copyright or trademark protections. If a valid rights holder identifies content or merchandise on our Site that they believe has been copied or used in a manner that constitutes a violation of their rights, we provide a streamlined channel to resolve the dispute immediately.

2. Standardized DMCA Takedown Notice Protocol

To file an official claim of copyright or trademark infringement against content hosted on our platform, you must submit a formal, written communication to our designated Intellectual Property Compliance Officer. Your notice must include all of the following structural elements to be recognized as complete and legally actionable:

1. Authorized Electronic or Physical Signature: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the Protected Work: Clear identification of the copyrighted work or trademark claimed to have been infringed (e.g., a registration number, a link to the original design deposit, or a detailed description of the copyrighted artwork).
3. Identification of the Infringing Material: Specific identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, including the exact URL(s) on voguetales.shop where the material is located so we can isolate and remove it.
4. Claimant Contact Details: Sufficient information to permit Voguetales to contact you directly, including an official business name, physical mailing address, telephone number, and an active email address.
5. Statement of Good Faith Belief: A clear statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright/trademark owner, its agent, or the law.
6. Statement of Information Accuracy: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

3. Review, Administrative Actions, and Processing

Upon receipt of a complete and valid Intellectual Property Claim notice containing steps 1 through 6, Voguetales will execute the following internal compliance procedures:

• Expedited Material Removal: Our administration will temporarily disable or permanently remove the contested text, design, or apparel product listing within 24 to 48 hours.
• Internal Log Enforcement: The incident will be registered within our internal legal tracking system to audit downstream inventory loops.
• Notification to Suppliers: If the contested apparel item (such as a specific graphic hoodie or printed T-shirt) was sourced through an independent designer or vendor partner, Voguetales will forward the takedown notice details to that partner to prevent recurring violations.

3.1 Financial Reversals for Removed Inventory

If an active customer purchase is interrupted or canceled midway through our standard 1 to 2 business days handling timeline due to an urgent intellectual property removal, the order will be permanently stopped.

• A full reversal of funds, including our standard $6.99 USD flat-rate shipping fee, will be initiated back to the customer’s original payment method within 7 business days in accordance with our [Return & Refund Policy].

4. Counter-Notification Procedures

If a vendor or content contributor associated with our platform believes that a takedown notice was executed erroneously or that their material was misidentified as infringing, they retain the right to submit a formal written Counter-Notification to our compliance officer.

The counter-notice must incorporate the claimant’s physical signature, identification of the material that was removed, a statement under penalty of perjury that the removal was a result of mistake or misidentification, and a consent to local federal court jurisdiction in the State of Arizona.

If a valid counter-notice is received, Voguetales may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing them that we may replace the removed material within 10 to 14 business days, unless the original rights holder files a formal judicial lawsuit seeking a court order against the content provider.

5. Penalty for Misrepresentation and False Claims

Important Legal Caution: Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any individual or entity who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material or activity on our platform is infringing may be held legally and financially liable for damages. This includes all administrative expenses, court costs, and attorney’s fees incurred by Voguetales or our partners as a result of relying upon such misrepresentations.

Please ensure you are the verified rights holder or possess explicit legal authorization before executing a formal claim.
