Intellectual Property Protection Policy and Infringement Claims |
|
 |
ChinaHTP respects the intellectual property rights of others,
and we expect our users to do the same. We have instituted
the following procedures to facilitate cooperation between
ChinaHTP and you in protecting your intellectual property
rights:
· Voluntary daily review and removal by ChinaHTP of
listings that appear to offer infringing items
· Prompt removal of such listings where an appropriate
intellectual property infringement claim is filed by intellectual
property rights owners against the user of ChinaHTP's service
who submitted such listings
· Written notification to users submitting infringing
listings that the items are prohibited on the ChinaHTP website
and are thereby removed
· Written notification to users whose listings are
claimed to infringe the intellectual property rights of others,
and provision of an opportunity to respond to such charges
· Termination, when appropriate, of the accounts of
users of the ChinaHTP.com service who appear to be repeat
infringers.
ChinaHTP is not an expert in your intellectual property rights,
and we cannot verify that the users of our online marketplace
- who post literally tens of thousands of trade leads for
items on the ChinaHTP website each day - have the right to
sell the goods offered. We appreciate your assistance in identifying
listings which may not appear on their face to infringe your
rights but which you believe are infringing. ChinaHTP is also
not an arbiter or judge of disputes about intellectual property
rights. By taking down a listing, as a prudential matter,
ChinaHTP is not endorsing a claim of infringement. Neither,
in those instances in which ChinaHTP declines to take down
a listing, is ChinaHTP determining that the listing is not
infringing, nor is ChinaHTP endorsing the sale of goods in
such cases.
We ask those who assert claims of infringement and ask ChinaHTP
to stop others from listing trade leads on our marketplace
to stand behind their claims. By submitting a report of alleged
infringement to ChinaHTP and asking ChinaHTP to take down
a listing, you agree to indemnify ChinaHTP against claims
or damages arising from the removal of the accused listing.
Procedures for reporting an alleged infringement to ChinaHTP:
1. If you have a good faith belief that a listing on ChinaHTP
infringes your copyright, trademark, patent or other intellectual
property rights, you may notice by fax or email to ChinaHTP.
The completed Notice should specifically identify the vendor
and claimed infringing product listing (i.e., product description,
model number, etc.).
2. Upon receipt of the Notice, we will promptly evaluate your
complaint, and in cases where it appropriate, we will expeditiously
take down the listing referred to in the Notice.
3. We will notify the vendor in writing of the removal of
the claimed infringing product listing and provide the vendor
with your contact information so that the vendor may contact
you directly and with an opportunity to respond.
4. If the vendor objects to the removal of the alleged infringing
product listing, the vendor may submit to us an appropriate
counter-notice to dispute the claim. Upon receipt of such
counter-notice, we may resume the vendor's listing unless
we receive notice from you that an action has been filed against
the vendor in a court of competent jurisdiction for infringement
of your intellectual property rights.
