Ref. 12 Policy

DMCA & Copyright Policy

MPR Clothing Co. handles copyright complaints through the DMCA’s notice-and-takedown rules (17 U.S.C. § 512). Below: how to report a listing, what we do with the report, and how to answer one.

1. Our Commitment

The MPR Clothing Co. team selects and publishes every design in the catalog; shoppers have no way to upload artwork here. Once a rights holder shows that one of our listings uses protected work without permission, we pull that listing or block access to it.

2. What a Notice Must Include

Put the notice in writing and cover each point:

  1. A signature, handwritten or electronic, from the rights owner or from a representative the owner has empowered to file.
  2. Which protected work is affected. When one notice covers many works, a representative list will do.
  3. The URL of every listing or page on mprclothingco.com you want removed.
  4. How to reach you: full name, postal address, telephone and email.
  5. A sentence confirming you believe, in good faith, that nobody authorized the reported use: not the rights owner, not an agent acting for it, and not the law.
  6. Two declarations: first, that the notice is accurate; second, under penalty of perjury, that the asserted right belongs to you or to a principal who has authorized you to assert it.

Trademark complaints follow the same route. Add the registration number and the URLs of the listings concerned.

3. Where to Send Notices

Designated agent:
MPR Clothing Co. — Attn: Copyright Agent
Notices go by email to [email protected]
Put “Copyright takedown” in the subject so the message is routed correctly.

We handle notices by email only. If an element is missing, we write back naming the gap, and action waits until the notice is complete.

4. What Happens After a Notice

  1. An email confirms we received it.
  2. We compare the notice with the six points in section 2.
  3. When every point is present, the listing comes down or is disabled, and we report back on the action taken.

5. Counter-Notice

Think a removal was a mistake, or that the wrong material was identified? If you hold the right to use that material, answer with a counter-notice addressed to the agent above, covering:

  1. A handwritten or electronic signature.
  2. Which material was taken down, and the URL where it was visible beforehand.
  3. Your good-faith belief, declared under penalty of perjury, that the takedown happened by error or because the material was misidentified.
  4. Your name, postal address and telephone number.
  5. Agreement that the U.S. federal district court for the area where you live may hear the matter (if you live abroad, any U.S. judicial district in which MPR Clothing Co. may be located), and a promise that you will accept legal papers delivered on behalf of the first complainant, or by that complainant directly.

A complete counter-notice is forwarded to whoever filed the original notice. If that party does not tell us, within 10 to 14 business days, that a court action has been filed, we may put the material back.

6. Repeat Infringers

Every valid notice is logged. If an artwork source, partner or account holder turns out to infringe again and again, we cut ties in appropriate circumstances and delete the listings linked to them.

7. False or Bad-Faith Claims

Section 512(f) makes a person who knowingly lies, in a material way, about infringement or about a mistaken removal answerable for the resulting damages, costs and legal fees. Weigh fair use, and any permission already given, before filing.

8. Updates to This Policy

We revise this policy when the law shifts or our handling process changes. Check the date at the foot of the page to see which revision you are reading.
