Provider: CIQRA OÜ, Tallinn, Estonia · IP/copyright notices: abuse@ciqra.com · appeals: appeals@ciqra.com · Version: 1.0-draft · 2026-07-08

1. Scope & IP ownership

1.1 CIQRA IP. The CIQRA platform, software, default themes, design system, trademarks, and documentation are owned by CIQRA or its licensors. Merchants receive only the limited licence in ToS §6 to operate their Storefronts; no other rights are granted.

1.2 Merchant Content. Merchants own their content (products, media, text, storefront pages) and grant CIQRA the operational licence in ToS §5. Merchants are responsible for holding the rights to everything they upload and for any third-party asset/theme licences.

1.3 Respect for third-party rights. Merchants and users must not infringe copyright, trademark, design, patent, or other IP or publicity rights. Infringement is a breach of the Acceptable Use Policy.

2. How to report infringement (notice)

2.1 Rights holders (or their agents) may report allegedly infringing content hosted on CIQRA/a Storefront by emailing abuse@ciqra.com with a notice that includes:

  1. Identification of the work/right infringed (or a representative list);
  2. The URL/location of the allegedly infringing material on CIQRA;
  3. Your contact details (name, address, email);
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law;
  5. A statement that the information is accurate, and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act; and
  6. Your physical or electronic signature (for DMCA notices).

2.2 This channel handles copyright/IP notices; illegal content generally (DSA) is handled under the Acceptable Use Policy §4. The two processes are coordinated.

3. What CIQRA does (action & statement of reasons)

3.1 On a valid notice, CIQRA may remove or disable access to the material and will notify the affected Merchant/user with a statement of reasons and information on how to appeal, consistent with the EU Digital Services Act and applicable law.

3.2 CIQRA acts on valid orders from courts/authorities and may preserve information as required.

4. Counter-notice / appeal

4.1 A Merchant/user who believes material was removed in error may submit a counter-notice/appeal to appeals@ciqra.com, including: identification of the removed material and its location; a statement under penalty of perjury (for DMCA counter-notices) of a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification; and contact details and signature. 4.2 Where legally applicable (DMCA), CIQRA may restore the material after the statutory waiting period unless the complainant notifies legal action. 4.3 CIQRA also provides the DSA internal complaint-handling path for content decisions.

5. Repeat infringers

CIQRA maintains a repeat-infringer policy: accounts that repeatedly post infringing or illegal content may be restricted, suspended, or terminated, and CIQRA may report as required by law.

6. Trademarks & brand

Use of CIQRA's name, logo or marks requires permission except as allowed by law (e.g. nominative/referential use). Merchants must not imply CIQRA endorsement. Use of Stripe's or other partners' marks is governed by those parties' brand rules.

7. Misuse of this process

Knowingly submitting false notices or counter-notices may incur liability under applicable law. Notices/counter-notices (and, where required, the notifier's identity) may be shared with the affected party to enable a response.
