12. Intellectual Property Rights Protection Policy and Infringement Complaints

12.1 This paragraph 12 outlines the Company’s procedures for dealing with notification of alleged infringements ("Infringement Complaint") relating to intellectual property rights ("IPR") by Users.

The Company has established these procedures to facilitate the co-operation between the Site and you.

The Company is not an arbiter or judge. In carrying out any action instigated by you in respect of IPR, the Company does not intend to make any decisions on whether such IPR are valid and subsisting. Conversely, should we decide not to carry out any action in respect of an Infringement Complaint, it is not endorsing the display or sale of such goods on the Site.

12.2. Our Handling of Infringement Complaints

Where a User has infringed the IPR of another User, the User alleging the infringement (the "Complainant") may proceed to initiate an Infringement Complaint against the alleged infringer (the "Alleged Infringer").

Upon receiving an Infringement Complaint, the Company shall require the Complainant to complete and sign a prescribed complaint form.

The Complainant must also provide the Company with all the necessary documentation and other relevant information in accordance with clause 3 below (the "Relevant Information") so that Cphi-online.com can adequately deal with the Infringement Complaint.

12.3. Relevant Information

In accordance with clause 12.2 above, the Relevant Information shall include, inter alia, the following documentation and information in respect of the Infringement Complaint.

Evidence of the Complainant's IPR ownership of the product or matter whose IPR are alleged to have been infringed (the "Infringed Product"):

In the case of copyright, this would include: registration certificates, evidence of the original creation, initial publication and the Complainant's ownership of copyright in the Infringed Product.

In the case of trademark rights, this would include: the certificate of trademark registration and other relevant documents issued by the applicable authorities in the Relevant Territory (as defined in clause 4 below) relating to the Infringed Product. In the case of patent rights, this would include: the certificate of patent grant (complete with all relevant claims, specifications and drawings), and other relevant reports, issued by the applicable authorities in the Relevant Territory (as defined in clause 4 below) relating to the Infringed Product.

In the case of registered design, this would include: certificate of registration of design issued by the applicable authorities in the Relevant Territory relating to the Infringed Product.

Any other evidence that the Company may require will depend on the specific facts of the case. For the avoidance of doubt, we shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine what shall constitute appropriate evidence of the Complainant's ownership in the Infringed Product.

Certificate of due incorporation or registration of the Complainant company (where applicable).

Evidence of the infringement complained of in the Infringement Complaint including, but not limited to,photographs, samples, brochures, sales contracts and invoices.

Any pending litigation with the alleged Infringer in relation to the subject matter complained of. If applicable and available, legally valid and binding evidence (either originating from or legally recognised in the Relevant Territory) that the relevant activities concerned have infringed the Complainant's intellectual property right(s).

Such other relevant document as we may require.

12.4. Relevant Territory

We appreciate that many traders on the business-to-business ("B2B") platform reside or have registered their offices in various countries.

For the purpose of this paragraph 12, "Relevant Territory" shall mean the country / region where (i) the alleged infringement takes place or is likely to take place; (ii) the goods are manufactured; or (iii) the goods are sold.

12.5. Indemnity

The Company does not have the power or duty to verify the identities of each individual user, subject matter complained of or the source of these goods.

By initiating an Infringement Complaint and asking us to take action in accordance with this Policy in respect of the Infringement Complaint, the Complainant agrees to indemnify the Company against all claims or damages arising howsoever from our actions in respect of all matters in connection with this paragraph 12 of these Terms.

13. General

Any formal legal notices should be sent to us at the address at the end of these Terms by email confirmed by post. Failure by us to enforce a right does not result in waiver of such right. You may not assign or transfer your rights under this agreement. Nothing in these Terms is intended to, nor shall it, confer any benefit on a third party whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.

14. Legal Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution

14.1 English law shall apply to these Terms, notwithstanding the jurisdiction where you are based. You irrevocably agree that the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise out of, under, or in connection with these Terms (including non-contractual claims or disputes) and for those purposes the parties irrevocably submit all disputes to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts provided that the Company shall not be prevented from seeking any court order or judgment in any other court of competent jurisdiction.
