FurryGoods Shop Intellectual Property Statement and Infringement Complaint Rules (v1.2)

Version v1.2. Unpublished review draft; not effective. Target effective date: 1 October 2026. Actual publication, notice and commencement depend on completion of the required procedures. This draft does not replace currently applicable terms. English is the baseline and prevailing text, subject to mandatory consumer protections. See the package README for outstanding release checks.

Article 1 Ownership and platform identifiers

In this document, “we”, “us” and “our” mean 香港福瑞谷國際貿易有限公司 (HONG KONG FURRYGOODS INTERNATIONAL TRADE LIMITED), the operator of FurryGoods Shop. “Shop” or the “Platform” means our FurryGoods Shop services. “You” means a user of the services covered by this document. Provisions concerning buyers, creators or other particular capacities apply only to persons acting in that capacity.

Authors, buyers and third parties retain their lawful rights in works, materials, trademarks, likenesses and other subject matter. Listing, payment, review and storage do not automatically transfer copyright. Use of our brands, pages and own content requires a lawful basis; this does not universally prohibit normal product identification or lawful fair use.

Article 2 Assurances on publication and use

Creators must verify their own and third-party material permissions, retain necessary source and licence records and not exceed authorised commercial, exclusive or assignment rights. Buyer character details, photos, voices and private data may be used only as necessary for the commission, not arbitrarily reused, sold or uploaded for model training. Original, derivative-fan and AI-generated status does not automatically establish defect-free rights.

Article 3 Default personal licence

Where the right holder is entitled to grant it and no other licence was validly agreed before ordering, completion of agreed payment grants the buyer a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable licence solely for personal non-commercial use, including storage, backup, personal avatars and display on personal homepages or social media. This default licence has no additional territorial restriction and lasts for the relevant rights' duration, subject to applicable law, effective terms and lawful grounds of rescission or termination. Account closure alone does not revoke a lawfully acquired licence. Display must not give others source files, asset packages or editable files substituting for the original product; reasonable attribution and rights notices must remain. Necessary cropping and resizing for avatars or display are permitted, but substantive adaptation or alteration of the author's expression is not. This provision does not permit full upload of content whose nature is unsuitable for complete public dissemination, such as entire ebooks, model source files or asset packs; display is limited to reasonable previews not substituting for the product. Lawful, more specific order display arrangements apply where validly agreed.

Article 4 Extended licences

Business, advertising, paid-channel or commercial-streaming use, manufacture and sale of physical merchandise, provision of source files to teams or clients, sublicensing, resale, exclusive licences and copyright assignments require separate express agreement on rights, parties, purposes, territory, duration and fees. Unlisted rights are not granted. “Buyout” alone cannot replace specific rights terms. A creator's sale of copyright and third-party rights in their materials must be verified separately.

Article 5 AI restrictions and cross-product authorisation separation

Creators' obligations when using AI. A creator using generative AI to materially generate, redraw or synthesise deliverables must clearly disclose its purpose and extent before purchase, and must not misrepresent the work as entirely human-made, hand-drawn or independently original. Basic colour correction, noise reduction or format conversion is not necessarily material generation, but does not excuse compliance with an expressly agreed “no AI” requirement. Before submitting buyer materials, unpublished character details, project files, voices or other data to an external model service, creators must obtain the authorisation or consent legally required from the relevant right holders and data subjects, and verify that the service's training, retention, onward provision and public-display conditions do not exceed the permitted scope.

Shop licences contain no AI rights. Licences you grant us for listing, transactions, delivery, security handling, customer service and necessary evidence preservation are solely for the corresponding Shop services. They do not include model training, fine-tuning, evaluation, algorithm optimisation, dataset construction, provision of retrieval material to models, generation of derivative content, voice cloning or other AI development or use rights. Public display, permission for personal-avatar use, shop operation, purchase and payment do not grant those rights.

Separation from other AI products. We will not provide works, previews, delivered files, drafts, character details, prompts, project files, voices, private messages, order data or derived data from which their content can be reconstructed obtained through Shop to other AI products operated by us or affiliated entities, or make them available for access, scraping, training, evaluation, retrieval or generation by those products. We will not place such content in shared cross-product training repositories, asset libraries or vector databases. A common operator, brand, technical infrastructure or FGID unified account does not constitute cross-product permission. We will not circumvent these restrictions through internal retrieval, scraping public pages, de-identification or provision to service providers.

Separate products, submissions and authorisations. If you actively choose to use content in another AI product, you must separately submit the specific content you are entitled to use in that product and separately give effective authorisation and legally required data-processing consent identifying the recipient, product, content scope, purposes, duration, training use, third-party recipients and withdrawal or deletion arrangements. Another product's terms, general consent or your login do not authorise extraction from Shop's backend or retrospectively expand this licence. We will not make acceptance of another AI product's terms or permission for AI use a condition of joining, transacting, downloading, obtaining refunds or settlement, or exiting Shop. Refusal does not affect those basic services or existing rights. Buyers may dispose only of rights they lawfully hold and cannot grant creators' or third parties' training or other rights they do not possess.

Restrictions on technical service providers. Where we engage hosting, storage, delivery, security or customer-service providers to perform Shop services, we limit access, purposes and duration and require that they not use received Shop content to train or evaluate their own or third-party models, improve products or pursue other independent purposes. Necessary technical outsourcing is not AI authorisation. We will not place content in training datasets under the labels “service improvement”, “security” or “performance”. Before introducing a new AI content-processing function, we will separately specify purposes and data scope and complete required notices and effective authorisation; general provisions of this Agreement do not activate such functions.

Authorisation evidence and rights requests. Licences and consents are recorded separately by product, specific content and purpose; none is inferred from another. You may object to unauthorised AI use within Shop through [email protected]. We will investigate access and provision records, stop unauthorised processing and take lawful remedial steps, including deletion and instructing recipients to stop use. Withdrawal of authorisation and data requests for an independent AI product follow its separate terms and applicable law; continued Shop use does not invalidate withdrawal or renew consent.

Article 6 Creator portfolios and platform promotion

Portfolio display must respect agreed publication timing, confidentiality and privacy and must not disclose buyers' real identities, private conversations, delivery information or unpublished business data alongside the work.

We use content under effective authorisation only within the scope and duration necessary for listing, transactions, delivery, security, customer service and necessary evidence preservation. Necessary technical service providers are subject to the same purpose and scope limits. Independent advertising and co-branded promotion beyond normal product or shop display require separate effective permission, not substitution of the transaction licence.

Neither these licences nor advertising licences include AI rights or permission to provide Shop content to other products. Article 10 of the Digital Goods Delivery and Licensing Rules applies. After delisting or termination, we stop new public promotional uses; legally necessary non-public historical evidence is retained under data-retention rules.

Article 7 Author attribution

Author attribution, copyright notices and portfolio credits may use the right holder's designated pen name, creator name or other lawful attribution. Public disclosure of a real name is not required for work display. Legal identity used for internal verification, contracting identity and public attribution are kept separately. Purchase, reviews or requests for attribution do not authorise buyers to publish creators' real-name verification materials.

Article 8 Complaints and interim measures

Right holders or authorised representatives may submit identity and contact details, specific locations, rights bases, preliminary evidence and truthfulness declarations under the notice, takedown and counter-notice rules. Respondents may submit counter-notices and licence evidence. We act promptly and lawfully, do not reject sufficient leads because no template was used and do not find repeated infringement solely from report counts. Temporary delisting is not a final infringement finding; related fund measures still require specific grounds.

Article 9 Transaction remedies and data

Inability to supply sold rights requires repair or refund under refund rules; buyers cannot be charged progress fees for content unable to fulfil its purpose. Our role and own responsibility follow the Service Agreement. Necessary material is forwarded under the applicable procedure with unrelated identity data and private attachments redacted. Backend real names are not public by default, and anonymity preferences must not obstruct statutory rights-enforcement information.

Article 10 False claims and external procedures

Knowingly baseless complaints, fabricated evidence and abusive counter-notices are prohibited. An unsuccessful complaint is not automatically malicious. We may lawfully seek compensation for evidenced attributable losses. You may seek help from competent authorities or courts. Internal platform measures do not replace judicial judgment; region-specific periods and conditions follow notice rules separately.

Article 11 Updates and language

This document applies together with the FurryGoods Shop Service Agreement. We provide the applicable terms, give required notices and protect existing orders under its provisions on incorporation, priority and updates. Where separate consent is legally required, we act only after obtaining that consent.

Access merely to download existing deliverables, obtain a refund or settlement, appeal or exit does not constitute acceptance of new adverse terms. Continued use has acceptance effects only to the extent permitted by applicable law and after we have completed the necessary procedures.

The English text prevails in the event of ambiguity or conflict between language versions. This does not limit consumer protections or remedies under applicable mandatory law.
