At GullClothes, we provide an online platform that empowers users to design and sell personalized merchandise. We are deeply committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same.

This policy outlines the procedures for reporting alleged intellectual property infringement and for submitting counter-notifications in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable intellectual property laws.

  • Identification of the infringed work: A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed, including any applicable registration numbers (e.g., copyright registration number, trademark registration number).
  • Location of infringing content: A description and specific URL(s) or other identifying location on the GullClothes platform where the allegedly infringing content is located.
  • Your contact information: Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • Statement of Good Faith Belief: A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law.
  • Statement of Accuracy & Authority: A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the intellectual property owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  • Signature: Your electronic or physical signature (e.g., a scanned physical signature or a legally binding electronic signature).

2. Our Response to Infringement Notices

Upon receiving a complete and valid intellectual property infringement notice, GullClothes will promptly:

  • Review the notice for compliance with legal requirements.
  • Block access to or remove the content identified as allegedly infringing in good faith.
  • Notify the user who posted the content of the claim and the action taken.
  • Repeat Infringers: In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, GullClothes will terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.

3. Submitting a Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was wrongly removed or disabled by GullClothes due to a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to our Designated Agent. Your counter-notification must include:

  • Identification of Removed Content: Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location on the GullClothes platform where the content appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  • Statement of Good Faith Belief: A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your Contact Information: Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • Consent to Jurisdiction: A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which GullClothes may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notification or an agent of such person.
  • Signature: Your electronic or physical signature.

4. Our Response to Counter-Notifications

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, GullClothes will promptly:

  • Provide a copy of the counter-notification to the original complainant, informing them that GullClothes may replace the removed content or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days.
  • Reinstate the content within 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification, unless our Designated Agent first receives notice from the original complainant that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the content on the GullClothes platform.

5. Misrepresentations and Liability

Please be aware that knowingly materially misrepresenting that content or activity is infringing, or that content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may result in legal liability under Section 512(f) of the DMCA. This liability may include damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.
