Intellectual Property Claim

Welcome to Herchicvibe. Our brand is built on a foundation of creativity, curated aesthetics, and a deep respect for the artistic process. We recognize that intellectual property (IP) is the lifeblood of the jewelry and fashion industry. This Intellectual Property Claim Policy outlines our procedures for addressing claims of trademark, patent, or copyright infringement—beyond the scope of standard DMCA notices—and serves as a guide for rights holders to protect their assets on herchicvibe.shop.

At Herchicvibe, we strive to ensure that every product listed in our store honors the legal rights of creators and brand owners worldwide. We take a rigorous approach to vetting our collections and expect our partners and users to uphold the same high standards of integrity.

1. Our Commitment to IP Integrity

The "chic vibe" we promote is synonymous with authenticity. Herchicvibe is committed to removing infringing products from our storefront as soon as we become aware of their existence. We understand that IP infringement—whether it involves counterfeit goods, unauthorized use of trademarks, or the replication of patented designs—harms original creators and misleads consumers.

This policy provides a structured pathway for IP owners to report suspected infringements, ensuring that we can take swift and decisive action to maintain a lawful marketplace.

2. Types of Intellectual Property We Protect

This policy covers various forms of intellectual property, including but not limited to:

  • Trademarks: Unauthorized use of a sign, design, or expression which identifies products or services of a particular source from those of others.

  • Copyrights: Protection for original works of authorship, including our professional jewelry photography, website copy, and graphic elements.

  • Patents: Protection for new, non-obvious, and useful inventions or ornamental designs for a manufactured article.

  • Trade Dress: The visual appearance of a product or its packaging that signifies the source of the product to consumers.

3. How to Submit an Intellectual Property Claim

4. Our Investigative Process

Once a claim is received at support@herchicvibe.shop, our compliance team will initiate the following steps:

  1. Initial Review: We verify that the notice contains all required legal elements.

  2. Product Suspension: While the claim is being investigated, we may choose to temporarily hide or "suspend" the product listing to prevent further potential infringement.

  3. Counter-Evidence Review: If the product in question was provided by a third-party vendor, we will allow them an opportunity to provide evidence of authenticity or a license to sell.
