GS5 International Co. Ltd. and its affiliates (collectively, the “CHILIGALA Group”, “CHILIGALA”, ”we”, “us”, or “our”) respect all duly registered intellectual property rights. We take a serious stance when dealing with intellectual property infringement claims on the e-commerce platform that we operate, our mobile applications, and any other internet domain properties owned, controlled or operated by the CHILIGALA Group (collectively the "Platform").  

The infringement of intellectual property rights by users of the Platform (“Sellers”) is strictly prohibited. Sellers who upload content, list products or services, or use the Platform in any manner which infringes intellectual property rights shall be subject to the measures detailed in our Platform policies, including but not limited to the issuance of non-compliance points, the suspension of Seller accounts, permanent termination from the Platform and/ or any action deemed necessary by us, including but not limited to the initiation of civil or criminal proceedings by CHILIGALA independently or in conjunction with rights holders.  

A. Intellectual Property Rights Infringements

The types of intellectual property right infringement which are prohibited on our Platform include, but are not limited to:

I. Sellers listing counterfeit products or services on the Platform, including:  

(1) Where Sellers apply a sign or signs identical to a registered trademark, to a product or service to establish the origin of such product or service, and the application of such sign has been conducted without the express or implied consent of the proprietor of the registered trademark, in relation to the goods or services for which that trademark is registered, or to such goods or services that are closely related to the goods or services registered;

(2) Where Sellers apply a sign or signs similar to a registered trademark, to a product or service to establish the origin of such product or service, without the express or implied consent of the proprietor of the registered trademark, in relation to the product or services for which that trademark is registered or to such goods or services that are closely related to the goods or services registered, and there exists a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public with regards to the origin of the product or services;

(3) Where Sellers reproduce, publish or distribute, artistic, literary, musical or dramatic works which are subject to copyright, and offer such works for sale on the Platform without the express or implied consent of the owner of the copyright; or  

(4) Deceptive or misleading conduct by Sellers in connection with the listing of product or services on the Platform, or any conduct intended to circumvent CHILIGALA Group’s anti-counterfeiting measures.  

II. Infringing content. This includes:  

(1) Where Sellers reproduce artistic, literary, musical or dramatic works which are subject to copyright and use such works for the description of products or services on the Platform, without the express or implied consent of the owner of the copyright;  

(2) Where Sellers use a sign or signs in connection with the description of products or services on the Platform, and such signs are identical or very similar to a registered trademark, and the application of such sign has been conducted without the express or implied consent of the proprietor of the registered trademark, in relation to the goods or services for which that trademark is registered and there exists a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public with regards to the origin, endorsement or association of the product or services and the registered trademark; or  

(3) Publishing product descriptions or other information which are misleading or misrepresentative of the product listed for sale.

III. Other types of intellectual property infringement. This includes:

The infringement of any other type of intellectual property right recognized under the law of the country where the notice of infringement is filed, including, but not limited to, the infringement of patents or registered designs, or any type of intellectual property right recognized under law or by the final court order of an apex court.

B. Types of notices not accepted by CHILIGALA

I. Distribution Agreements

We respect the rights of brand owners, manufacturers, trading companies and/ or distributors to enter into agreements in relation to how their products should be distributed (such as exclusive distribution agreements). However, violations of such agreements do not constitute intellectual property rights infringement. As the enforcement of agreements relating to the distribution of products is a matter between the parties to such agreements, CHILIGALA does not assist with this type of enforcement activity.

II. Compatibility  

CHILIGALA does not enforce notices of infringement seeking to remove or alter true statements indicating compatibility with trademarked products. If a product detail page clearly and truthfully states the product being sold on that page is compatible with a trademarked product, CHILIGALA will not process notices directed against the use of the trademarked sign.

III. Jurisdiction

If you are filing a notice to CHILIGALA for the infringement of a registered trademark, patent or design, your registered trademark, patent or design must be registered in the country where you are filing the notice of infringement. CHILIGALA does not take action in respect of intellectual property notices concerning registered trademarks, designs, or patents from countries other than the country for which the take-down is requested. For example, if you are the proprietor of a trademark registered only in USA and you file a notice to remove a listing on the Platform in China your notice will be unsuccessful.

IV. Parallel Imports  

Save for where expressly prohibited pursuant to the laws of the country where the intellectual property notice is filed, CHILIGALA will not process notices of infringement directed against parallel import or grey market products in the countries where the Platform is located.
