FurryGoods Shop Infringement Notice, Takedown and Counter-Notice 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 Unpublished review draft; not effective.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 Application and contact

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.

These Rules govern notices and counter-notices concerning content restrictions in copyright, trademark, likeness, privacy and other rights complaints. Our unified contact is [email protected]. The conditions for special statutory procedures prevail; these Rules are not represented as proof of safe-harbour eligibility in every jurisdiction.

Article 2 Receipt

Right holders or authorised representatives may provide identity and contact details, specific content locations, the basis of rights, preliminary infringement evidence, requested action and a truthfulness declaration to [email protected]. We notify acceptance or specific missing items under the User Notice and Electronic Service Rules. Failure to use a recommended template is not itself grounds for rejection. If another channel gives us sufficient information to identify unlawful risks, we act lawfully or guide supplementation and do not ignore known risks because of formalities.

Article 3 Measures and notice

We promptly take necessary measures in accordance with law and provide the respondent with disclosable summaries of the complaint and measures, a counter-notice route and applicable deadlines. Urgent circumstances may require action first and prompt notice afterwards; we reserve no arbitrary right permanently to withhold notice. We forward only information necessary for the other party's response and lawful handling. Identity documents, private addresses and unrelated attachments are lawfully protected, not automatically published in full. Interim measures do not finally establish infringement or automatically confiscate order payments. Freezes are separately governed by the Violation and Dispute Handling Rules.

Article 4 Counter-notices

Respondents may submit specific content locations, identity and contact details, grounds of rebuttal, authorisation or originality evidence and a truthfulness declaration. We promptly forward necessary materials as required by law and explain subsequent external procedures, applicable periods and interim measures. We restore content promptly when no valid grounds for continuing restrictions remain. Continuing restrictions require new or ongoing grounds and review. Obtaining a favourable judgment must not be the sole condition for every restoration.

Article 5 Regional procedures and repeat infringement

Where a particular statutory notice procedure applies, its mandatory fields, forwarding, waiting, restoration and publication requirements prevail. We follow the verified regional procedure rather than applying one jurisdiction's period everywhere. For example, where Article 43 of the PRC E-Commerce Law lawfully applies, we forward the non-infringement declaration, inform the right holder of complaint or litigation routes, and promptly terminate measures taken pursuant to that notice if no notification of a complaint or lawsuit is received within fifteen days after the forwarded declaration reaches the right holder. Measures supported by independent legal grounds must be separately explained. We do not claim DMCA safe-harbour eligibility before confirming applicable US procedures and agent arrangements. Repeat-infringement action must rest on reviewed, valid facts; unverified report counts do not directly justify permanent bans.

Article 6 Necessary information and declarations

Complaints must sufficiently identify the right holder and authority, the content and alleged infringement, the request and the authenticity of evidence. Counter-notices must identify the corresponding content, rebuttal grounds and originality or licensing basis. We require only identity information necessary to verify authority and fulfil applicable procedures, not unrelated public disclosure of legal names.

Where applicable law additionally requires a signature, specific declaration, service contact details or other fields, we explain this to the parties. Missing region-specific fields in a general template do not justify ignoring known risks; we reasonably guide correction. Necessary statutory forwarding is distinguished from public disclosure.

Article 7 Periods, restoration and new grounds

We acknowledge receipt and provide initial views under the user-notice rules, subject to faster mandatory legal requirements. We periodically examine continuing interim measures and restore promptly when grounds cease. New independent grounds require separate explanation; a favourable judgment is not a universal prerequisite for restoration. Repeat infringement is determined from reviewed, valid facts, not simply by adding unverified reports to impose a permanent ban.

Article 8 Funds, evidence and privacy

Takedown, restoration and order refunds are assessed separately. Order payments must not be automatically confiscated, nor all undisputed licences revoked. Temporary retention is limited to specific risks and reviewed under the violation rules. We lawfully preserve necessary content and notice records without indiscriminate disclosure of identity documents, private addresses or unrelated attachments. Legally required forwarding is handled lawfully, with notice where permitted.

Article 9 Abuse and external remedies

Knowingly false complaints or counter-notices, forged rights evidence and repeated recovery of the same loss give rise to attributable liability under law. A claim not upheld is not automatically malicious. Our views do not bind competent authorities' final determinations; either party may seek lawful judicial or administrative remedies.

Article 10 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.
