01. Our Zero-Tolerance Ethos
At Freshmanfashion, we believe that the essence of luxury lies in authenticity. Intellectual Property (IP) is the lifeblood of innovation and creativity in the fashion industry. We hold a zero-tolerance policy regarding the sale of counterfeit products and the unauthorized use of trademarks, copyrights, or patents.
Our platform is dedicated to providing only genuine, high-quality garments. We understand that counterfeit goods not only infringe upon the rights of designers and brand owners but also deceive consumers and undermine the integrity of global trade. This policy outlines our commitment to preventing such activities and provides a clear mechanism for rights holders to report any potential infringements.
02. Defining Counterfeit Goods
Counterfeiting is a serious violation of our terms of service and international law. We define counterfeit goods as items that:
• Use a trademark that is identical to, or substantially indistinguishable from, a registered trademark without authorization.
• Mimic the brand features of a product to deceive consumers into believing the product is an authentic brand-name item.
• Infringe upon protected designs or patents held by established fashion houses or independent creators.
03. Reporting Trademark & Patent Infringements
If you are a brand owner or a legal representative of a brand and you believe your intellectual property rights have been violated on freshmanfashion.shop, we want to know immediately. We have a streamlined reporting process to ensure your claim is handled with the appropriate legal priority.
To submit a report, please send a formal "Notice of Infringement" to our legal desk at support@freshmanfashion.shop. To process your claim, the following information is required:
04. Remedial Actions & Vendor Discipline
Upon receipt of a valid infringement notice, Freshmanfashion will take decisive action:
Content Removal: We will remove or disable access to the infringing content within 48 business hours of verification.
Vendor Termination: If a supplier or manufacturer is found to have provided counterfeit goods or misrepresented their right to distribute a brand, we will immediately terminate all business relationships with that entity.
Accountability: We cooperate fully with law enforcement and regulatory bodies to identify and stop the flow of counterfeit goods. We reserve the right to hold infringing parties financially liable for damages to our brand reputation and legal costs.
05. Consumer Protection
Our clients are at the heart of our IP policy. If a product you purchased is ever determined to be counterfeit, we will:
1. Issue a 100% full refund immediately.
2. Provide you with a prepaid label to return the item for forensic destruction.
3. Offer a credit toward a future purchase as a token of our commitment to your trust.
06. Legal Disclaimer
