Takedown Policy

Effective date: 13 November 2026

Operator: V Pawn Trading Limited

V Pawn Trading Limited (the "Company"), operator of VPawn at vpawn.io (the "Service"), respects intellectual property rights and follows the notice-and-takedown procedure of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. section 512. This policy supplements Article 20 of the Terms of Service (/terms-of-services). The Service is currently in a testing phase.

1. Scope

This policy applies to content shown on the Service, such as images, text and metadata of Pawn Ticket NFTs and Member profiles, that is claimed to infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights. The Company cannot delete a token from a blockchain. Where a notice is valid, the Company can remove content from display on the Service and disable access to the related listing.

2. How to Submit a Notice

Send the notice by email to info@vpayv.com with the subject "Takedown Notice". A notice under 17 U.S.C. section 512(c)(3) must include all of the following:

1. a physical or electronic signature of a person empowered to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is claimed to be infringed;

2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if several works are covered by one notice, a representative list;

3. identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for the Company to locate it, such as the URL of the page on the Service and the NFT contract address and token ID;

4. the complainant's contact information: name, address, telephone number and email address;

5. a statement that the complainant has a good faith belief that use of the material in the way complained of is not permitted by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and

6. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complainant is empowered to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is claimed to be infringed.

A notice that lacks these elements may not be actioned. A person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice may be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. section 512(f).

3. Handling Procedure

1. The Company will confirm receipt within 2 business days.

2. The Company will review whether the notice meets section 2. If it does not, the Company will tell the complainant what is missing.

3. If the notice is valid, the Company will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material on the Service, within 3 business days of receiving a valid notice.

4. The Company will notify the Member who posted the material, send that Member a copy of the notice, and explain how to submit a counter-notice. Where the material relates to a Partner Pawnshop's NFT, the Company will also notify the Partner Pawnshop.

5. The Company will tell the complainant what action was taken.

4. Counter-Notice

A Member whose material was removed may send a counter-notice to info@vpayv.com with the subject "Counter-Notice". It must include:

1. the Member's physical or electronic signature;

2. identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;

3. a statement under penalty of perjury that the Member has a good faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;

4. the Member's name, address, telephone number and email address, and a statement that the Member consents to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district where the Member's address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district where the Company can be found), and that the Member will accept service of process from the complainant.

On receiving a valid counter-notice, the Company will send a copy to the complainant and tell the complainant that the material will be restored in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days, unless the Company receives, before that date, notice that the complainant has filed a court action to restrain the Member. The Company will restore the material in that period if no such notice is received.

5. Repeat Infringers

The Company has a policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of Members who are repeat infringers. A Member who receives 3 valid notices that are not successfully countered is treated as a repeat infringer, and the Company may end the Member's access to the Service. The Company may also end access earlier for serious infringement.

6. Designated Contact

Notices go to the Company at info@vpayv.com. The Company's designated agent is Taehoon Nam (info@vpayv.com). Until a designated agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, notices are received at info@vpayv.com.

7. Effective Date

This policy takes effect on 13 November 2026. Related: Terms of Service /terms-of-services, Customer Dispute Resolution Policy /dispute-resolution-policy.
