Cutseiya’s Intellectual Property enforcement

    Responding to an Intellectual Property infringement notice. If you receive a notice or warning for infringement and you believe the rights owner or Cutseiya made an error, you may appeal or dispute the claim.

Multiple warnings of Intellectual Property infringement. If you have received multiple warnings of Intellectual Property infringement and you believe you are selling non-infringing products, submit an appeal via Seller Central with the following information:

A list of the allegedly infringing and at least one of the following, as applicable:

a. Invoices proving the authenticity of your products (you may remove pricing information); OR

b. Cutseiya order IDs demonstrating product authenticity; OR

c. An authorization letter from the rights owner (cannot be a forwarded email); OR

d. A court order finding that your product does not infringe the asserted Intellectual Property, or that the asserted Intellectual Property is invalid or unenforceable.

Account suspension. If your account has been suspended because of notices of Intellectual Property infringement against your products or content, you can provide us with a viable Plan of Action. To learn more, refer to Create a plan of action to reinstate selling privileges

You should send your Plan of Action via your account dashboard or reply to the account suspension notification that you received. We will evaluate your Plan of Action and determine if your account may be reinstated.

Sellers are expected to follow the law. Cutseiya takes claims of Intellectual Property infringement seriously.

Even if a seller is infringing Intellectual Property without knowledge, we will still take action and the seller’s account might receive a warning or be suspended.

You should consult an attorney for help to ensure that you have the right procedures in place to prevent Intellectual Property infringement.
