Intellectual Property Claim Policy

Effective Date: May 14, 2026
Last Updated: May 14, 2026

1. Overview & Commitment

Urbanriseapparel (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users, vendors, and partners to do the same. Our online store at https://urbanriseapparel.shop/ (the “Site”) sells original T‑shirts and hoodies. We do not knowingly infringe upon any copyright, trademark, trade dress, patent, or other proprietary rights.

This Intellectual Property Claim Policy (the “IP Policy”) explains how to report alleged infringement to us, how we respond to such claims, and the procedures for counter‑notifications. It also describes our repeat infringer policy and provides legal disclaimers. This IP Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Service.

If you believe that content available on our Site (including product listings, images, descriptions, or designs) infringes your intellectual property rights, please follow the notice procedures below. We will investigate and take appropriate action, including removal of the allegedly infringing content and, where warranted, termination of repeat infringers’ accounts.

2. Intellectual Property Rights Covered

This IP Policy applies to claims of infringement of the following intellectual property rights owned by you or your principal:

• Copyright: Original works of authorship (e.g., graphic designs, illustrations, photographs, text, product descriptions).
• Trademark: Registered or common law trademarks, service marks, logos, brand names, or trade dress that distinguish goods.
• Design Patent: Ornamental designs of functional items (e.g., unique garment cut or pattern, where applicable).
• Trade Secret: Confidential business information (rarely applicable to product listings, but included for completeness).

This policy does not apply to disputes regarding domain names (governed by ICANN), or to claims of patent infringement other than design patents. For such matters, please seek independent legal advice.

3. DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice

Urbanriseapparel complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512(c). If you believe that material on our Site infringes your copyrighted work, you must submit a written DMCA takedown notice to our designated Copyright Agent (see Section 8). The notice must substantially include all of the following elements. Failure to comply may result in our inability to process your request.

Send the completed DMCA notice to our Copyright Agent at the address or email provided in Section 8. We will process valid notices within 2 to 5 business days and remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. We will also notify the affected user (the alleged infringer) of the takedown, providing them with a copy of your notice and information about filing a counter‑notice.

Important: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) incurred by the alleged infringer or by us. Please ensure your claim is legitimate before submitting.

4. DMCA Counter‑Notice (for Users Who Received a Takedown)

If your content (e.g., a product listing or design) was removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter‑notice. The counter‑notice must be in writing and sent to our Copyright Agent. It must include the following elements:

Upon receipt of a valid counter‑notice, Urbanriseapparel will forward it to the original complainant. The original complainant will have 10 to 14 business days to notify us that they have filed a court action to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity. If we do not receive such notice, we will restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter‑notice (unless we receive contrary instructions from a court).

5. Trademark & Other Non‑Copyright IP Claims

For claims of trademark infringement, trade dress infringement, design patent infringement, or any other intellectual property right not covered by the DMCA, please submit a written notice to our designated IP Agent (same contact as Section 8). The notice should contain:

• Your full name, address, telephone number, and email address.
• Identification of the intellectual property right allegedly infringed (e.g., trademark registration number, design patent number, or clear description of the unregistered mark/trade dress).
• Evidence of your ownership of the right (e.g., certificate of registration, assignment agreement).
• Identification of the specific Urbanriseapparel product listing(s) or content that you claim infringes your right (URLs required).
• A statement explaining why the use is not authorized and how it infringes your right.
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on their behalf.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

We will investigate trademark and other IP claims within 5 to 10 business days. If we determine that a claim is valid, we will remove the infringing content and notify the affected user. The user may submit a written appeal explaining why the content is not infringing. We will review appeals within 10 business days and make a final determination. In cases of clear infringement, we may also suspend or terminate the user’s account.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

Urbanriseapparel maintains a strict repeat infringer policy in accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws. We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users (including sellers, designers, or third‑party contributors) who are determined to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.

Definition of “Repeat Infringer”: A user who has received three (3) or more valid, unrefuted IP infringement notices (copyright, trademark, or other) within any 12‑month period, or who has been found by a court of law to have infringed intellectual property rights on our Site on two or more occasions.

Upon reaching the repeat infringer threshold, we will:

• Permanently suspend the user’s account (including any associated accounts sharing the same email address, IP range, or payment method).
• Remove all product listings and content associated with the user.
• Deny future registration attempts from the same individual or entity.

We reserve the right to terminate accounts after a single egregious infringement (e.g., willful counterfeiting) without waiting for three strikes. We also cooperate with law enforcement and rights holders in cases of intentional infringement.

7. False Claims & Indemnification

Any person who knowingly submits a false or fraudulent IP claim (including DMCA notices, trademark complaints, or counter‑notices) may be held liable for damages, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, under applicable laws (e.g., 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) for copyright). By submitting a claim to Urbanriseapparel, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your submission of a false or materially inaccurate claim.

8. Designated IP Agent Contact

All IP infringement notices, counter‑notices, and related correspondence must be sent to our designated agent. Emails sent to other addresses (e.g., general customer support) may cause delays. Please use the following contact details:

Important: Do not send IP claims to general customer support (support@urbanriseapparel.shop). Such emails may not be timely reviewed. For legitimate claims, always use ip@urbanriseapparel.shop.

9. Standard Response Timelines

Urbanriseapparel is committed to addressing IP claims promptly. The following table outlines our standard response times after receipt of a complete and valid notice (or counter‑notice).

Complex claims may require additional time. We will notify you if our review exceeds the standard ranges.

10. Policy Integration

This Intellectual Property Claim Policy supplements our:

• Terms of Service – governing law, arbitration, limitation of liability.
• Privacy Policy – how we handle personal information of claimants.
• Shipping Policy – order fulfillment.
• Return & Refund Policy – product returns.

11. Changes to This IP Policy

Urbanriseapparel reserves the right to update this IP Policy at any time. Changes become effective immediately upon posting to https://urbanriseapparel.shop/intellectual-property-rights/. Material changes (e.g., new claim categories, different response times) will be announced via website banner. The version in effect at the time of your claim submission governs the processing of that claim.

12. Governing Law & Legal Disclaimers

This IP Policy and any disputes arising from IP claims shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal action (including for misrepresentation under DMCA § 512(f)) must be filed in the state or federal courts located in Johnson County, Connecticut. You agree to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

Disclaimer: Urbanriseapparel is not a substitute for legal counsel. This policy does not constitute legal advice. If you are unsure whether your intellectual property rights are being infringed, you should consult an attorney before submitting a claim. We reserve the right to seek independent legal review of any claim and may reject claims that are frivolous, incomplete, or abusive.
