Vefark | Intellectual Property Policy

We are committed to protecting everyone’s intellectual property and have a comprehensive policy in place to that end. This Intellectual Property Policy explains how we handle claims of infringement, how authorized parties may submit infringement notifications regarding content on our website and mobile applications, and how responsible parties may respond to affected listings. Once notification is provided in accordance with our policies, we will remove the allegedly infringing material. Intellectual property herein means copyright, trademark, patent, and other intellectual property as provided by law.

1. Violation Notification

1. To report intellectual property infringement, you must be the owner of the reported intellectual property or an agent authorized to make the notification on behalf of the owner.

2. We will review the listings or content after receiving your notification. Please note that any notification made to us must be made in good faith and under penalty of perjury.

3. The notifier must send the notification of infringement to info@vefark.com. You must include the following information in your notification:

o Specific identification of the intellectual property that you believe has been infringed (such as registration number, written description of the copyrighted work, link to the copyrighted work, first use/publication date, etc.).

o The nature of the infringement (whether it is in the product, physical product packaging, an image on a product detail page, or text on a product detail page).

o A list of the infringing products (such as the URLs of the product detail page for the specific product).

o A list of the infringing parties.

o Supporting documentation or other information to assist in processing your complaint (such as order IDs for any test purchases for the products you report).

o Your contact information (such as name, address, telephone number, and email address).

o Any other information required under applicable law.

4. Before we can process a notification, we may request additional information, such as verification of the rights and ownership requested or other documentation.

2. Reporting Copyright Infringement Under DMCA

1. If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner and claim that your copyright has been infringed, you may send a notification of infringement to info@vefark.com. Your notification must include the following information:

o A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

o Identification of each copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. A notification may cover more than one copyrighted work.

o Identification of each infringing material that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate such material.

o Contact information (address, telephone number, and e-mail address).

o A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

o A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

2. If you falsely represent that material is infringing, you may be liable for damages. Therefore, if you are unsure whether the material is infringing, you should seek legal advice before submitting a notification.

3. If your infringement notification is accepted, we will remove the content you reported and take appropriate action against the responsible parties. We do not share details of actions that are not already public.

4. Repeat infringer policy: We are committed to protecting intellectual property rights and will terminate repeat infringers where appropriate.

3. Counter-Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement Under DMCA

1. If a content provider believes that the material that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing or that the content provider is acting with proper authority, the content provider may send a counter-notification that includes the following information:

o A physical or electronic signature of the content provider.

o Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.

o A statement under penalty of perjury that the content provider has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

o The content provider’s name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the content provider’s address is located or, if the content provider’s address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Whaleco Inc. may be located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person claiming infringement.

2. If we receive a counter-notification from us, we will take appropriate action pursuant to the DMCA.

4. Withdrawal of Notification

The intellectual property owner or authorized agent who notified the infringement may retract the notification by sending a notice to info@vefark.com. The retraction request must clearly identify the notification, including the complaining party's information, the intellectual property right claimed to have been infringed, and the material to be retracted.

5. False Reporting

1. We may reject breach notifications that we believe contain false, fraudulent, incomplete, or maliciously submitted information. We also reserve the right to take action against those who abuse this policy and applicable laws.

2. Repeated submission of false or fraudulent notifications may result in the removal of your notification privileges.
