TheViralClothes provides an online platform that allows users to design and sell their own T-shirts and merchandise. We strictly prohibit users from creating or selling items that infringe on third-party intellectual property rights, including but not limited to copyright, trademark, and related rights. If you believe a user of TheViralClothes has infringed your intellectual property, please follow the procedure below to notify us.
A. How to Report Intellectual Property Infringement

-
Remove or block access to any content (including text, graphics, photos, and other materials) that we believe, in good faith, infringes third-party intellectual property rights after receiving a valid notice.
-
Terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
If you believe content on TheViralClothes infringes your copyright or other intellectual property, please send a written notice including the following information to our Designated Agent:

Identification of the copyrighted work or intellectual property you claim has been infringed, including any registration numbers if applicable.

Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content.

Notify the user whose content was removed or disabled.

Terminate accounts of repeat infringers.
C. How to Submit a Counter-Notice
If you believe the content removed or disabled is not infringing, or that you have the right to use it (through authorization, law, or fair use), you may send a counter-notice to our Designated Agent. Your counter-notice must include:
-
Identification of the content that was removed or disabled, including where it appeared on TheViralClothes before it was removed or disabled.
-
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe the content was removed or blocked by mistake or misidentification.
-
Your contact information: full name, mailing address, phone number, and email address.
-
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court in your district (or the district where TheViralClothes is located if you are outside the USA) and will accept service of process from the original complainant.
-
Your physical or electronic signature.
If we receive a counter-notice, we may forward it to the original complainant. Unless the rights holder files a court action within 10 business days, we may restore the content after 10 to 14 business days or longer, at our discretion.
