Infringement Policy

At Shoe Savvy Sanctuary, we are committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users and partners to do the same. Protecting the originality and creativity of designs, trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property is essential to maintaining a fair and innovative marketplace. This Infringement Policy outlines our approach to handling claims of intellectual property infringement and provides guidance on how to notify us of potential violations.

  1. Respect for Intellectual Property Rights
    Shoe Savvy Sanctuary values creativity and originality, and we strive to ensure that all products listed on our website comply with applicable intellectual property laws. We do not permit the sale or promotion of counterfeit goods, replicas, or any other products that infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties. This includes, but is not limited to, copyrights, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets.
  2. Reporting Infringement Claims
    If you believe that any content or product listed on our website infringes upon your intellectual property rights, we encourage you to notify us promptly. To facilitate the efficient processing of your claim, please provide the following information in your notice:

A clear description of the intellectual property that you claim has been infringed, including any relevant registration details.
A description of the content or product on our website that you believe infringes your rights, including the specific URL or location of the alleged infringement.
Your contact information, including your name, email address, and a phone number where you can be reached.
A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information you provide is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner of the intellectual property or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
Please send your infringement notice to [email protected]. Our team will review your claim and take appropriate action, which may include removing the infringing content or product from our website and/or contacting the seller or vendor in question.

  1. Response to Infringement Claims
    Upon receipt of a valid infringement notice, Shoe Savvy Sanctuary will:

Review the claim to determine its validity and whether it complies with our Infringement Policy.
Take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material, notifying the party responsible for the content, and, if necessary, terminating repeat offenders’ access to our website.
Contact the individual or entity who posted the content or product in question to inform them of the claim and provide an opportunity to respond.

  1. Counter-Notice
    If you receive a notice from Shoe Savvy Sanctuary stating that your content or product has been removed due to an infringement claim, and you believe the claim is incorrect or that you have the right to use the content or product in question, you may submit a counter-notice. The counter-notice should include:

Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before it was removed.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Your contact information, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the court in your location and agreeing to accept service of process from the party who submitted the original infringement notice.
Counter-notices should be sent to [email protected]. Upon receipt, we will forward your counter-notice to the party who submitted the original claim and may restore the removed material if they do not pursue further legal action within a specified period.

  1. Repeat Infringers
    Shoe Savvy Sanctuary takes infringement claims seriously and reserves the right to terminate the accounts or access of users or vendors who are found to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights. We will track infringement claims and take appropriate action in accordance with our policy and applicable laws.
  2. Limitations of Liability
    While we strive to handle infringement claims diligently, Shoe Savvy Sanctuary is not responsible for any damages resulting from the removal of material or termination of accounts due to alleged infringement. We do not mediate disputes between intellectual property rights holders and parties accused of infringement.
  3. Changes to This Infringement Policy
