FurryGoods Shop Commercial Collaboration, Co-branding and Brand Use Supplementary 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 Unpublished review draft; not effective.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 formation

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 cover co-branding, brand licensing, joint production, managed operations and promotional collaboration. Discussions or expressions of interest do not grant brand rights. Authorised parties must confirm specific scope, consideration, duration and responsibilities. Backend verification of contracting identity does not generally require public disclosure of a creator's real name; legally required business-entity disclosure follows the relevant rules.

Article 2 Brand and material licences

Use of names, trademarks, characters, packaging or other materials must specify the right holder, permitted purposes, territory, duration, channels, exclusivity, sublicensing and approval arrangements. “Collaboration” or “buyout” does not replace specific rights terms or permit unauthorised claims of official endorsement. Third-party material rights require separate verification. Our operation of other products does not by itself permit model training or cross-product promotion using collaboration content.

Article 3 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 Before submitting buyer materials, unpublished character details, project files, voices or other data to an external model service, creators must obtain the authorisation or consent legally required from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 4 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 5 Pages, advertising and personal data

Project pages must identify the actual seller, our role, delivery, charges and after-sales arrangements. Advertising must not exaggerate safety, rights, sales or guarantees. Buyer screenshots, identities and private works require an effective basis. Necessary performance data is supplied only to partners with an actual need; complete accounts, orders or marketing lists are not shared by default.

Article 6 Performance, fees and responsibility

Effective contracts must specify production, warehousing, transport, inventory, acceptance, refunds and tax. Internal arrangements cannot diminish buyer rights. We are responsible for operations we promise and are not excused merely by third-party performance. Creator settlement tables do not automatically govern supplier payments. Large-merchant special rates require separate signed agreements specifying risk mechanisms.

Article 7 Expiry and exit

On expiry or effective termination, new out-of-term brand and promotional use stops. Existing goods, inventory clearance, sold licences and old orders are handled under prior effective arrangements and law. Without an agreed clearance-sale right, no unlimited sales right arises automatically. Necessary evidence is preserved during disputes; another party's assets must not be arbitrarily destroyed.

Article 8 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.
