16. No Automatic Admission

Removal, modification, or restriction of content in response to a claim does not necessarily constitute:

• An admission of infringement

Depending on applicable law, a claimant may be responsible for damages or other consequences resulting from a knowingly false infringement allegation.

Wearcut reserves the right to reject claims that reasonably appear:

• Fraudulent
• Abusive
• Unsupported
• Submitted in bad faith
• Intended to interfere unlawfully with legitimate business activity

23. Repeated or Abusive Claims

We may take reasonable measures against repeated abusive complaints or misuse of our intellectual property reporting process.

However, good-faith claimants will not be penalized merely because a claim is ultimately disputed or unsuccessful.

24. Information Sharing During a Dispute

Information contained in an intellectual property complaint may need to be shared with:

• The person or company responsible for the disputed content
• Suppliers
• Service providers
• Legal advisers
• Courts

Do not include unnecessary personal, confidential, or sensitive information in your complaint.

26. Claims Concerning Third-Party Content

Some content may originate from:

• Suppliers
• Manufacturers
• Service providers
• Licensed content sources
• Other third parties

Where appropriate, we may contact the relevant third party to investigate the claim.

The presence of third-party content does not eliminate our commitment to responding to credible intellectual property complaints.

27. Reinstatement or Disputed Claims

If content is removed or restricted and another party provides credible evidence that the removal was mistaken or legally disputed, we may review the matter further.

Depending on the applicable legal procedure, we may:

• Request additional documents
• Restore content
• Maintain the restriction
• Refer the parties to the applicable statutory process
• Require a formal counter-notice where legally required

Copyright counter-notices under U.S. law may be governed separately by our DMCA Policy.

28. Independent Legal Disputes

Wearcut is not a court and cannot finally determine complex disputes involving competing ownership claims.

Where both parties provide credible but conflicting evidence, they may need to resolve the dispute through:

• Direct agreement
• Mediation
• Arbitration where applicable
• A court
• Another legally authorized dispute-resolution process

We may take reasonable temporary action while such a dispute is unresolved.

29. Rights Reserved

Wearcut reserves the right to:

• Request additional documentation
• Reject incomplete complaints
• Correct obvious content errors
• Remove or restrict content where reasonably appropriate
• Restore content where a claim is withdrawn or shown to be unsupported
• Cooperate with lawful legal proceedings

Any action will be taken subject to applicable law and legitimate third-party rights.
