This Infringement Policy outlines our procedures for handling claims of copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property violations related to the products we sell or the content available on our website.
1. Intellectual Property Rights
ToteStyles respects the intellectual property of others and expects the same from our customers. All of the content on our website, including images, designs, logos, trademarks, and written text, are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual property laws. These rights are owned by ToteStyles or by third-party content providers who have licensed their content to us. Unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of any content without permission is prohibited.
2. Reporting Infringement Claims
If you believe that any content on our website or any of the products we sell infringe upon your intellectual property rights, we encourage you to notify us immediately. You can submit a claim of infringement by contacting us at [email protected]. Please include the following information in your notification:
- Your full name and contact information.

- A statement explaining why you believe the content infringes upon your intellectual property rights.
- A declaration that the information provided is accurate and that you are the intellectual property rights holder or authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder.
3. Our Response to Infringement Claims
Once we receive a valid infringement notification, we will investigate the matter promptly. If we determine that the reported content violates intellectual property rights, we will take appropriate action, which may include:
- Removing or disabling access to the alleged infringing content.
- Contacting the user or seller responsible for the content to resolve the issue.
- Taking down any products, images, or content that may be in violation of copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights.
Please note that we may also reach out to you for additional information or clarification regarding the infringement claim to ensure a thorough review.
4. Counter-Notice Process
If you believe that your content has been wrongly removed or disabled due to a claim of infringement, you have the right to file a counter-notice. A counter-notice is a formal statement disputing the alleged infringement. To file a counter-notice, please email us at [email protected] with the following information:
- Your full name, address, and phone number.
- A description of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before it was removed.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the court in your district and will accept service of process from the party that notified us of the alleged infringement.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will review the information and, if appropriate, reinstate the removed content.
5. Repeated Infringement
ToteStyles reserves the right to suspend or terminate the accounts of users who are found to repeatedly infringe on intellectual property rights. If we receive multiple infringement claims against a user, we may take further actions, including permanently disabling their access to our website or services.
