Intellectual Property Policy

Effective Date: 2025

DailyDoll Shop (“Marketplace”) respects the intellectual property rights of artists, designers, creators, and rights holders. To maintain the integrity, safety, and legality of our creative marketplace, we comply with all applicable intellectual property laws and industry best practices, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), EU copyright directives, international treaties, and fair-use standards.

This Policy is part of the Terms of Use.
By using the Marketplace, Sellers and Buyers agree to comply with this Policy.

1. Role of the Marketplace

DailyDoll Shop is a platform where independent Sellers:

  • create and upload their own content,
  • manage their shops, listings, images, videos, and descriptions,
  • set pricing, delivery, and business practices,
  • bear full legal responsibility for compliance with IP laws.

DailyDoll Shop:

  • does not manufacture goods,
  • does not hold inventory,
  • does not act as agent, representative, or employer of Sellers,
  • cannot provide legal advice or determine ownership of intellectual property.

Sellers must ensure that all content they publish belongs to them or that they have proper authorization/license to use it.

Marketplace reserves the right to remove listings or disable accounts that violate IP laws, this Policy, or the Prohibited Items Policy.

2. Reporting Intellectual Property Infringement

DailyDoll Shop responds promptly to valid reports of alleged infringement by:

  • removing or restricting access to reported material;
  • notifying the affected Seller;
  • providing information about the claim (including the complainant’s name and email);
  • explaining how they may submit a counter-notification (for copyright claims).

A report may be filed for:

  • copyright infringement,
  • trademark misuse,
  • unauthorized use of images, designs, videos, shop names, or other IP-protected content.

How to Report Infringement

Rights holders or their authorized representatives may report infringement using:

Before processing a report, Marketplace may request:

  • proof of identity,
  • documentation proving ownership of the IP,
  • authorization documents (e.g., power of attorney, licensing agreements),
  • clarification about the nature of the rights allegedly infringed.

DailyDoll Shop may reject notices that are incomplete, fraudulent, misleading, or submitted by unauthorized individuals.

The Marketplace cannot act on behalf of IP owners and cannot mediate ownership disputes.

3. Requirements for a Valid Infringement Notice

A valid IP infringement notice must include:

  • Full name and contact information of the rights holder or authorized agent
  • A clear description of the copyrighted work or trademark being infringed
  • Exact URLs of the infringing listings
  • A statement confirming good-faith belief that the material is not authorized
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that the complainant is authorized to act
  • Electronic or physical signature of the rights holder or authorized representative

Incomplete or vague notices may delay processing or be dismissed.

4. DMCA Counter-Notification (Copyright Only)

Under DMCA, Sellers may submit a counter-notice if they believe their material was removed in error.

The counter-notice must include:

  • Seller’s name, address, and contact email
  • Identification of the material that was removed
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the removal was due to mistake or misidentification
  • A statement consenting to jurisdiction of the appropriate courts
  • Seller’s electronic or physical signature

DailyDoll Shop will:

  • Forward the counter-notice to the complainant;
  • Restore the material within 10 business days unless the complainant files a legal action seeking to prevent reinstatement.

Counter-notices are only available for copyright claims, not trademark or other IP disputes.

5. Repeat Infringers

In accordance with DMCA and international IP laws, DailyDoll Shop may:

  • suspend or permanently deactivate Seller accounts receiving multiple valid infringement notices;
  • deny access to Sellers attempting to open new shops after closure due to IP violations;
  • remove associated shops, duplicate accounts, and related listings.

Marketplace will act at its sole discretion based on the number, severity, and credibility of complaints.

6. Marketplace Actions and Enforcement

DailyDoll Shop may take the following actions in response to IP violations:

  • remove or disable infringing listings;
  • hide or restrict access to infringing content;
  • suspend Seller tools or advertising features;
  • temporarily restrict account functionality;
  • permanently close Seller accounts;
  • provide information to payment processors (PayPal/Stripe) in cases involving fraud or counterfeit goods.

We reserve the right to act immediately and without notice when necessary to comply with legal requirements or protect the marketplace.

7. Withdrawals and Retractions (IP Owner Actions)

Only the verified rights holder or their authorized representative may retract or withdraw a previously submitted complaint.

A valid retraction must clearly state:

  • that it is a formal withdrawal,
  • the affected shop and listing URLs,
  • the name of the original complainant,
  • authorization to withdraw the claim.

Retractions do not guarantee reinstatement of listings or reversal of account actions; decisions remain at Marketplace’s discretion.

8. Seller Responsibilities

Sellers may not upload or sell:

  • counterfeit or replica goods,
  • unauthorized reproductions,
  • items using protected logos, trademarks, characters, or designs without permission,
  • content copied from other creators or websites,
  • items containing unlicensed art, patterns, or digital files.

Sellers must:

  • own or have valid rights to all materials used,
  • remove infringing content immediately if notified,
  • cooperate with compliance inquiries from Marketplace.

Failure to comply may result in account termination.

9. Marketplace Limitations

DailyDoll Shop:

  • does not provide legal advice;
  • cannot determine IP ownership in disputes;
  • cannot mediate disagreements between rights holders and Sellers;
  • acts based solely on valid legal notices submitted under this Policy.

For legal interpretation of your rights, consult a qualified attorney.
