The policy applies primarily to [https://mirthuniapparel.com/](https://mirthuniapparel.com/) and provides guidance for website visitors, international buyers, suppliers, sourcing partners and other parties accessing or using our published materials. Intellectual property rights depend on applicable law, original authorship, contractual arrangements, licensing conditions and the nature of the relevant material. ## 1. Business and Brand Identity **Legal Business Name:** Mirthuni Apparel Sourcing Service **Brand Name:** Mirthuni Apparel **Business Location:** Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, India **Business Activity:** Apparel Manufacturer, Exporter and Sourcing Support Mirthuni Apparel Sourcing Service operates as a partnership concern providing apparel manufacturing, exporting and sourcing support through selected manufacturing partners. The Mirthuni Apparel business name, associated branding and original business-identification materials are used to identify its services and commercial activities. Nothing in this policy should be interpreted as asserting ownership of trademarks, designs or intellectual property belonging to other parties. ## 2. Scope of This Policy This policy addresses intellectual property matters involving: - Website articles, service descriptions and informational content - Original graphics, photographs and illustrations - AI-assisted text and images - Website layouts and original design elements - Business logos and brand-identification materials - Garment designs, artwork and technical documentation - Buyer-provided intellectual property - Supplier and manufacturing-partner materials - Third-party trademarks and licensed content - Permitted quotation, linking and reuse - Requests for permission and infringement reports Specific commercial agreements may establish additional rights and obligations for individual projects. ## 3. Copyright in Website Content Original website text, articles, graphics, photographs, illustrations and other qualifying creative materials may be protected under applicable copyright laws. Unless otherwise indicated, rights in qualifying original materials created or lawfully acquired by Mirthuni Apparel Sourcing Service are retained by the relevant rights holder. The appearance of content on a publicly accessible website does not automatically grant permission for unrestricted copying, republication, resale or commercial exploitation. Copyright protection and ownership depend on the applicable law and the circumstances in which the material was created or obtained. ## 4. AI-Assisted Content and Copyright Mirthuni Apparel uses artificial intelligence as a supporting technology under human editorial direction. AI tools may assist with drafting, editing, image generation, visual enhancement, research organisation and content formatting. Our personnel review AI-assisted outputs for relevance, suitability and consistency with our business information before publication. The use of AI does not automatically establish copyright ownership, originality or exclusive intellectual property rights in every generated element. The legal status of AI-generated materials may differ between jurisdictions and may depend on human creative contribution, applicable law, tool-provider terms and other circumstances. Mirthuni Apparel does not claim exclusive copyright over material where such rights do not legally exist or have not been validly acquired. Visitors should nevertheless not assume that every AI-assisted website asset is available for unrestricted reuse, because it may include protected human-created elements, trademarks, licensed content or other rights. ## 5. AI-Generated and Illustrative Images Some images published on our website may be created, enhanced or modified using AI-assisted technologies. These images may illustrate garment categories, fabric structures, apparel manufacturing concepts, sourcing activities or other business-related subjects. Unless expressly identified as actual photographs, illustrative images should not be interpreted as documentary evidence of a particular factory, employee, production process, buyer order or finished shipment. Rights associated with an individual image may depend on its original components, human contributions, licensing arrangements and applicable laws. Commercial reuse should not be assumed to be authorised merely because an image was created with AI assistance. ## 6. Mirthuni Apparel Brand and Logo The Mirthuni Apparel name, logo, visual identity and associated business materials are used to identify Mirthuni Apparel Sourcing Service. Visitors must not use these identifiers in a manner that falsely suggests: - Ownership of or affiliation with Mirthuni Apparel - Official representation or authorisation - Business partnership or endorsement - Approval of a product or service - Authority to issue quotations or receive payments - Certification or verification by Mirthuni Apparel Use of our brand identifiers for commercial purposes may require prior written permission, subject to applicable law. This policy does not claim that every brand element is registered as a trademark in every jurisdiction. ## 7. Buyer-Owned Artwork and Intellectual Property International buyers may provide artwork, logos, trademarks, prints, embroidery designs, technical packs, garment specifications, patterns or other proprietary materials for custom apparel projects. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, ownership of buyer-provided intellectual property remains with the buyer or its legitimate rights holder. Providing such materials to Mirthuni Apparel for quotation, sampling or manufacturing coordination does not automatically transfer ownership to Mirthuni Apparel. Buyer-provided materials may be used as reasonably necessary to evaluate, develop, sample or manufacture the relevant products according to the agreed project scope. Any broader use, publication or transfer must be supported by applicable permission or another lawful basis. ## 8. Buyer Responsibility for Supplied Designs Buyers are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights or permissions to provide artwork, trademarks, logos, designs and other intellectual property for their projects. Buyers should not submit materials that knowingly infringe the rights of third parties. Where there is a reasonable concern about ownership, licensing or permitted use, Mirthuni Apparel may request clarification or supporting documentation before proceeding. Acceptance of artwork for review does not constitute a legal determination that the buyer owns all relevant rights. ## 9. Tech Packs, Patterns and Product Development Technical packs, measurement charts, patterns, grading information, construction specifications and other development materials may contain intellectual property belonging to buyers, designers, developers, manufacturing partners or other parties. Ownership and permitted use depend on the source of the materials and the relevant contractual arrangements. Payment for sampling or product development does not automatically determine ownership of every underlying pattern, technical method, production process or development file. Where transfer of ownership, exclusive use or delivery of specific development files is required, those requirements should be agreed in writing. ## 10. Manufacturing Partner and Supplier Materials Selected manufacturing partners, fabric suppliers, printing units, embroidery providers and other service providers may contribute technical information, production methods, samples, photographs, designs or other materials. Such contributions may be subject to independent intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations. Mirthuni Apparel does not automatically claim ownership of proprietary materials belonging to manufacturing partners or suppliers. Disclosure or reuse of those materials may require appropriate permission. ## 11. Customer Project Images and References Mirthuni Apparel may publish selected garment images, sample references or project-related visuals where publication is authorised or otherwise legally permitted. Customer logos, brand identities, proprietary designs and confidential project information should not be disclosed in violation of applicable agreements or rights. The publication of a general garment example does not automatically establish that the associated buyer has endorsed Mirthuni Apparel. Buyers may communicate applicable confidentiality or portfolio-use requirements before project commencement. ## 12. Third-Party Trademarks and Logos Our website may refer to third-party companies, industry organisations, certification bodies, technology providers or trade associations. Their names, trademarks and logos remain subject to the rights of their respective owners. References may be provided for identification, factual explanation or other lawful purposes. Use of a third-party name or logo does not automatically indicate sponsorship, endorsement, certification, partnership or approval. Where a logo is displayed, its use remains subject to applicable permissions and trademark rules. ## 13. Certifications and Institutional Marks References to business registrations, industry memberships, factory audits or certification programmes should be interpreted according to their actual scope. Certification marks and institutional logos must not be used to imply that Mirthuni Apparel itself holds certifications belonging to selected manufacturing partners. Where product-specific or facility-specific certification is required, the relevant documentation and authorised use of certification marks should be confirmed. Business registration or membership does not automatically constitute product certification. ## 14. Permitted Personal and Informational Use Visitors may access and read publicly available website content for legitimate informational purposes. Subject to applicable law, limited quotation, reference and linking may be permissible. Visitors may share links to our public pages provided that doing so does not misrepresent the source, ownership or meaning of the content. Nothing in this policy restricts rights that users may have under applicable copyright exceptions or limitations. ## 15. Commercial Reproduction and Republication Except where permitted by law or an applicable licence, visitors should obtain appropriate permission before commercially reproducing, redistributing, republishing, licensing or selling protected Mirthuni Apparel website materials. Examples of uses that may require permission include: - Reproducing substantial original articles on another commercial website - Reusing protected graphics or illustrations in advertisements - Using our logo to suggest an authorised partnership - Republishing protected product photographs for commercial promotion - Selling or sublicensing protected website materials - Incorporating protected original content into commercial publications Permission requests should identify the material, intended use, distribution method and relevant commercial context. ## 16. Automated Access, Search Engines and AI Systems Mirthuni Apparel maintains public website information and machine-readable resources intended to support search discovery and accurate business identification. Automated access to website content remains subject to applicable law, relevant technical access controls and any enforceable terms. The availability of resources such as robots.txt, llms.txt, AI knowledge files, structured data or agent-discovery information does not by itself transfer copyright ownership or grant unrestricted commercial licensing rights. Any machine-readable content-use preferences should be interpreted according to their stated purpose, technical meaning and applicable legal framework. Where our published technical permissions expressly allow particular automated uses, those permissions should be read together with the relevant resource and any applicable restrictions. ## 17. Website Software and Third-Party Components The website may use WordPress, plugins, themes, JavaScript libraries, fonts, APIs and other software components. Such components may be governed by their own open-source or commercial licences. Mirthuni Apparel does not claim exclusive ownership of third-party software merely because it is incorporated into the website. Users must comply with the applicable licences when independently using or distributing those components. ## 18. Copyright Infringement Reports If you believe that content published on our website infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, you may submit a written notice. Please include, where reasonably available: - Your name and contact details - Identification of the intellectual property concerned - The URL of the allegedly infringing material - A description of your rights or authority to act - An explanation of the alleged infringement - Supporting documentation or references Notices should be submitted in good faith. We may request further information where necessary to assess the concern. ## 19. Review of Intellectual Property Complaints Mirthuni Apparel may review credible intellectual property complaints and take appropriate action where warranted. Depending on the circumstances, actions may include seeking clarification, correcting attribution, modifying content, removing material or requesting further supporting documentation. Submission of a complaint does not automatically establish infringement or guarantee removal. We reserve the ability to respond appropriately to incomplete, inaccurate or disputed claims, subject to applicable law. ## 20. Confidentiality and Commercial Information Buyers and suppliers may exchange commercially sensitive information during sourcing, sampling and manufacturing discussions. Confidentiality obligations may arise from written agreements, the nature of the information and applicable law. Website publication does not waive confidentiality obligations applicable to non-public buyer or supplier information. Where a project requires a non-disclosure agreement or specific confidentiality provisions, those arrangements should be agreed separately. ## 21. No Transfer of Intellectual Property Rights Accessing the website, submitting an enquiry or receiving general business information does not automatically transfer ownership of intellectual property. Likewise, providing samples, quotations or technical assistance does not by itself grant exclusive rights to every associated material, process or development resource. Any intended assignment, exclusive licence or transfer of intellectual property rights should be expressly documented in an applicable written agreement. ## 22. Accuracy and Legal Limitations This policy provides general information about Mirthuni Apparel's approach to intellectual property. It does not establish that every website asset qualifies for copyright protection or that every relevant right is owned exclusively by Mirthuni Apparel. Intellectual property rights, exceptions, remedies and enforcement procedures vary between jurisdictions. Nothing in this policy overrides applicable law, valid third-party rights or specific written agreements. ## 23. Changes to This Policy Mirthuni Apparel may update this policy to reflect changes in website content, technology, business practices, licensing arrangements or applicable legal requirements. The latest revision date will appear at the beginning of this page. ## 24.
