Effective Date: April 23, 2026

Store Name: Wpdog | Operated by: AUSTIN KASEY HAZEN LLC

At Wpdog, we hold intellectual property rights in the highest regard. As a retailer specialized in women’s clothing, we understand the creative effort required to produce unique designs, professional photography, and branding. We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users, partners, and customers to do the same.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we have implemented the following policy regarding copyright infringement. This policy outlines the procedures for notifying Wpdog of alleged infringement and the process for responding to such notices.

This policy applies to all content found on the Site. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please follow the notification procedures described below.

2. Designated Copyright Agent Information

Wpdog has designated a Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement. To ensure your notice is processed efficiently, please direct all correspondence to our professional legal and support department.

While the DMCA process is a legal matter, we maintain consistency across all our store policies to ensure our customers and partners understand our operational framework.

The speed and efficiency of our logistics (including our 3–9 day total delivery window) are made possible by our respect for clear rules and professional standards, which extends to our management of intellectual property.

5.3 Opportunity for Counter-Notification: If the content provider believes that the material was removed by mistake, they have the right to submit a Counter-Notification.

6. Filing a Counter-Notification

If you receive notice that your content has been removed due to a DMCA claim and you believe this was in error, you may submit a Counter-Notification to our Designated Agent.

Wpdog maintains a strict "Repeat Infringer" policy to protect the integrity of the women's fashion industry. We reserve the right to terminate the accounts of users or vendors who are deemed to be repeat infringers. If a vendor is subject to multiple valid DMCA notices, their entire portfolio will be subject to manual review.

8. Misrepresentation and Liability

Please be aware that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability. We strongly recommend that you contact an attorney before filing a notice with Wpdog.
