INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COMPLAINT POLICY It is Studio Ghibli Store's strict policy to block and remove any content or product listings that it believes in good faith to infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties upon receiving a valid, compliant notice. Furthermore, we maintain a zero-tolerance framework and will terminate service privileges for users associated with repeated copyright or trademark infringements.

If you believe that your protected intellectual property rights have been infringed upon by any material hosted on Studio Ghibli Store, please notify our legal compliance desk immediately at contact@domain.com. To ensure your claim is processed effectively, you must include the following mandatory details within your notification:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person officially authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the intellectual property that is allegedly being infringed;

• The exact URLs to the specific Studio Ghibli Store product pages in connection with the advertising or sale of the allegedly infringing merchandise;

• Clear identification of the copyright, trademark, or other legal rights that have allegedly been infringed, including legal proof of ownership (such as copies of existing federal/international trademark certificates or copyright registrations);

• Your full legal name, physical address, contact telephone number(s), and active email address(es);

• A formal statement confirming that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material located at the submitted URLs is unauthorized by the rightful owner, its legal licensee, or applicable laws, and that such use constitutes an infringement under federal or international frameworks;

• A formal statement, delivered under penalty of perjury, certifying that the information provided in your notification is complete, accurate, and that you are legally authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the intellectual property or right that is allegedly violated.

COUNTER-NOTICE POLICY If you firmly believe that a claim of intellectual property infringement was mistakenly filed against your store design or listings due to misidentification or error, you reserve the right to file a counter-notice. Please be aware that if you materially misrepresent in this counter-notice that your merchandise does not infringe upon third-party rights, you may be held liable for monetary damages to the intellectual property owner (including operational court costs and substantial attorney’s fees). Therefore, if you are uncertain whether the material violates an active copyright or trademark, we strongly advise consulting a legal professional before submitting a counter-notice.

Your counter-notice should be directed via email to contact@domain.com and must contain the following required structural elements:

• Your physical or electronic signature;

• Your full legal name, physical mailing address, primary telephone number(s), and active email address(es);

• Specific identification of the removed material along with its location before it was taken down, designated either by the precise product URLs or content blocks related to the sale of the merchandise;

• A formal statement, written under penalty of perjury, certifying that the claim of intellectual property infringement which resulted in the removal or blocking of access was filed by mistake, absolute misidentification, or error;

• Your express consent to the legal jurisdiction of the federal court in the judicial district where your address is located (if you reside within the United States), or your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the judicial district where our network service provider is located (if your residence is outside the United States);

• Your clear consent to accept official service of process from the original complaining party who submitted the takedown notice, or an authorized agent representing that party.

If you elect to submit a compliant counter-notice, a full duplicate copy of it will be forwarded directly to the original complaining party. This serves to inform them that Studio Ghibli Store may restore the removed material or stop disabling access to it within 10 business days. Unless the intellectual property owner initiates a formal lawsuit seeking a court order against you within that timeframe, the disputed material may be legally replaced, and customer access to the URLs restored within 10 to 14 business days following our receipt of your counter-notice.

REPEAT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COMPLAINT POLICY Should Studio Ghibli Store receive multiple, repetitive notices indicating that you have repeatedly posted or sold others’ protected intellectual property without proper written authorization, Studio Ghibli Store reserves the right to immediately terminate your merchant account. Studio Ghibli Store maintains an internal system designed to log, track, and assess repeat violators of third-party intellectual property rights to systematically determine when a temporary suspension or permanent termination of account access is required.

Furthermore, Studio Ghibli Store retains the ultimate right to deactivate and terminate any accounts that operate against the core spirit of our dynamic Terms of Service, regardless of the explicit number of formal policy strikes involved.
