This policy explains how Urici handles intellectual property — both our own and the creative work of others — and how rights holders can report suspected infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable laws.

1. Overview

Urici respects the intellectual property rights of others and is committed to protecting the rights of creators, designers, and brands. This policy applies to all content on www.urici.com (the "Site"), including product listings, images, text, graphics, logos, and user-generated content.

As a curated discovery platform, Urici sources products from independent designers, design studios, and trusted suppliers worldwide. We do not claim ownership of individual product designs — those rights remain with their respective creators. Our role is to curate, present, and deliver these products to customers around the world.

Our commitment: We respond to all credible intellectual property concerns promptly and take appropriate action, including removing infringing content and terminating accounts of repeat infringers.

2. Urici-Owned Intellectual Property

The following intellectual property is owned by Urici and protected under applicable laws:

  • Brand assets: The "Urici" name, logo, wordmark, and related brand identifiers are trademarks of Urici.
  • Website content: All original text, product descriptions, category names, page layouts, graphics, icons, and custom illustrations created by or for Urici.
  • Site design: The overall look, feel, arrangement, and functionality of www.urici.com.
  • Original content: Blog posts, guides, FAQ content, and marketing materials authored by Urici.

These assets may not be copied, reproduced, republished, or used for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.

3. Product Designs & Third-Party IP

3.1 How We Source Products

Urici operates as a curated discovery platform. Products featured on our Site come from a variety of sources:

  • Independent designers and design studios
  • Established suppliers and supply chains
  • Manufacturers and licensed distributors

3.2 Who Owns the Product Designs?

The intellectual property rights in individual product designs — including patents, design registrations, copyrights, and trademarks — remain with their respective creators, designers, or rights holders. Urici does not claim ownership of these designs.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that all products listed on our Site are sourced legitimately and that our partners have the right to distribute them. However, we rely on our suppliers to represent and warrant that their products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.

3.3 Product Images

Product images displayed on our Site may be provided by our suppliers, manufacturers, or created by Urici. We make efforts to ensure that all images used are properly licensed. If you believe an image on our Site infringes your copyright, please follow the DMCA takedown procedure in Section 8.

4. Trademarks

7. DMCA Policy Overview

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) provides a legal framework for copyright holders to request the removal of content they believe infringes their copyrighted work. Urici respects the rights of copyright owners and will respond to valid DMCA takedown notices in accordance with applicable law.

Before you file: Please ensure that your claim is accurate and made in good faith. Filing a false or fraudulent DMCA notice can result in legal liability, including damages and attorney's fees. Consider whether your use qualifies as fair use before submitting a claim.

9. What Happens After We Receive a Notice

Once we receive a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will take the following steps:

  1. Review: We review the notice to confirm it contains all required elements under the DMCA.
  2. Notify the affected party: If the notice is valid, we will make a good-faith effort to notify the user or supplier whose content is the subject of the notice (if applicable), providing them with a copy of the notice.
  3. Remove or disable access: We will expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
  4. Document: We will keep a record of the notice and our response for our internal records.
  5. Notify the requester: We will inform the person who submitted the notice once the material has been removed or access has been disabled.

Please allow up to 72 hours for us to process and respond to your notice. Complex cases may require additional time.

10. Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled in error or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification. To do so, send a written communication to our DMCA agent (Section 16) that includes all of the following:

Counter-Notice Requirements:

  1. Identification of removed material — The specific URLs or description of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location at which it appeared before removal.
  2. Good faith statement — A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  3. Consent to jurisdiction — Your consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Urici may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice or their agent.
  4. Your contact information — Your full name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. Signature — Your physical or electronic signature.

What Happens After We Receive a Counter-Notice

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will:

  1. Forward a copy to the person who filed the original DMCA notice.
  2. Inform them that we will restore the removed material (or cease disabling access) in 10–14 business days, unless we first receive notice that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringer.
  3. Restore the content if no court action is filed within the specified period.

11. Repeat Infringer Policy

Urici maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users and suppliers who are determined to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights. This includes:

  • Users who have had content removed from our Site due to DMCA notices on more than one occasion.
  • Suppliers or partners who are found to repeatedly offer infringing products.
  • Anyone who attempts to circumvent our takedown procedures through fraudulent or abusive filings.

We may also refuse to do business with individuals or entities that have been identified as repeat infringers by other platforms or legal authorities.

12. False Claims & Penalties

Filing a false DMCA notice — whether knowingly or with reckless disregard for the truth — is a serious matter. Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorney's fees.

Penalty for false claims: If we determine that a DMCA notice or counter-notice was filed in bad faith, we may disregard future notices from the same party, report the abuse to relevant authorities, and take legal action to recover any damages we incur.

We encourage all parties to consult with legal counsel before filing a notice if they are unsure whether their claim is valid.

13. Trademark Infringement Claims

If you believe that content on our Site infringes your trademark rights, please send a written notice to our legal team at [email protected] with the following information:

  • Your trademark: The specific trademark you claim is being infringed, including registration number and jurisdiction if applicable.
  • Infringing material: The exact URL(s) or location(s) on our Site where the allegedly infringing content appears.
  • Basis for claim: A brief explanation of how the content infringes your trademark.
  • Your contact information: Full name, address, phone number, and email.
  • Authorization: A statement that you are the trademark owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
  • Signature: Physical or electronic signature.

We will review trademark claims and take appropriate action, which may include removing the infringing content, contacting the relevant supplier, or requesting additional documentation.

14. Fair Use & User Content

14.1 Fair Use

We recognize that some uses of copyrighted material may constitute "fair use" under applicable law, including use for commentary, criticism, news reporting, teaching, or research. Fair use is determined on a case-by-case basis considering factors such as the purpose and character of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount used, and the effect on the market for the original work.

If your DMCA notice is countered on fair use grounds, we will carefully evaluate the claim before taking further action.

14.2 User-Generated Content

If our Site allows users to post reviews, comments, or other content, users retain the copyright in their submissions but grant Urici a license to display and use that content on the Site. Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their submissions do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.

If we receive a valid DMCA notice regarding user-generated content, we will remove the content and notify the user who posted it. The user may then file a counter-notice if they believe the removal was in error.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Intellectual Property & DMCA Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will:

  • Post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
  • Provide a visible notice on the Site or via email for significant changes.

Your continued use of the Site after the effective date of any revised policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
