Intellectual
Property Policy

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all intellectual property rights in and to the content published on vaultandhide.com are owned by or licensed to Vault & Hide (incorporated in the United States, manufacturing in Pakistan, operating globally). This includes but is not limited to:

These works are protected under applicable copyright law, including the Copyright Ordinance 1962 (Pakistan), the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (UK), the EU Copyright Directive, and the U.S. Copyright Act (Title 17 USC), as well as international treaties including the Berne Convention.

Rights not expressly granted in this policy are reserved by Vault & Hide.

The following are trademarks of Vault & Hide. Use of any of these marks without our prior written consent is prohibited.

If you wish to use any Vault & Hide trademark — for example, in a press article, affiliate content, or academic work — please refer to section 3 for permitted uses, or contact our brand team for written authorisation.

We encourage sharing and accurate coverage of Vault & Hide. The following uses are permitted without requiring prior written consent:

All permitted uses must clearly attribute Vault & Hide as the source and must not imply an endorsement, official partnership, or sponsorship that does not exist.

The following uses of Vault & Hide intellectual property are strictly prohibited without our prior written consent:

When you submit content to Vault & Hide — including product reviews, photographs, social media posts tagged with our brand, competition entries, or messages sent to our team — you grant Vault & Hide a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual licence to use, reproduce, edit, publish, and display that content across our website, marketing channels, and social media, with attribution where reasonably practicable.

You retain ownership of your original content. By submitting, you confirm that you own or have the necessary rights to the content you share, and that it does not infringe any third-party rights.

If you would like us to remove your content from our platforms, please contact us at [email protected] with a description of the content and where it appears. We will process removal requests within 10 business days.

Vault & Hide invests significantly in the design and development of original leather jacket silhouettes, hardware configurations, lining patterns, stitching templates, and construction techniques. These constitute registered and unregistered design rights in applicable jurisdictions.

Our original designs are protected under the Registered Designs Ordinance 2000 (Pakistan), the Registered Designs Act 1949 (UK) and EU Community Design Regulation, and the U.S. Design Patent framework (35 U.S.C. § 171) for select styles.

Copying, reproducing, or manufacturing jackets that are substantially similar to our original designs — whether for sale, personal use, or distribution — is an infringement of our design rights and may be pursued through civil proceedings.

We recognise that certain classic jacket silhouettes such as the biker jacket, bomber, and café racer exist in the public domain. Our design rights apply specifically to the original creative elements we have added — unique hardware layouts, proprietary stitching patterns, bespoke lining designs, and branded details — not to generic historical forms.

If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been infringed by content appearing on vaultandhide.com, we take such reports seriously and will act promptly. To submit a valid infringement notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) or equivalent legislation, please provide the following in writing:

We aim to acknowledge valid notices within 3 business days and take appropriate action within 10 business days of receipt. Submitting a false or misleading infringement notice may expose you to liability under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

If you believe that content removed from vaultandhide.com was removed in error or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice including:

• Your full legal name, address, email, and telephone number.
• Identification of the content that was removed and its location before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the relevant courts and will accept service of process from the original complainant.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not initiate legal proceedings within 10 to 14 business days, we may at our discretion restore the content.

Vault & Hide is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We do not knowingly use, reproduce, or distribute third-party copyrighted material, trademarks, or designs without authorisation.

Some of our collections — including Movie & TV Jackets, Celebrity Jackets, and Superhero Jackets — are described as inspired by recognisable looks from popular culture. These products are not officially licensed merchandise unless explicitly stated on the product page. They are independently designed garments inspired by well-known aesthetic references, crafted in our own original patterns and materials.

We do not claim any affiliation with, endorsement by, or licence from relevant studios, rights holders, or celebrities unless explicitly stated in the product listing. If you are a rights holder with concerns about a specific product, please contact our IP team directly.

We require all suppliers, manufacturers, and partners to confirm that their materials, components, and processes do not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights. Suppliers found to be using infringing materials will be removed from our supply chain.

Vault & Hide complies with the IP enforcement policies of all third-party platforms on which we operate. If you believe a Vault & Hide listing on a third-party platform infringes your rights, you may report it both through that platform's native reporting mechanism and directly to us.

For all intellectual property enquiries — including infringement reports, licensing requests, brand partnership proposals, press usage, and counter-notices — please contact our dedicated IP team. Do not send IP notices to general customer support channels as this may delay processing.
