Shein and Temu — two companies facing strikingly similar customer-data and counterfeiting concerns — are simultaneously SUING EACH OTHER, with Shein accusing Temu of stealing its copyrighted product photos and Temu accusing Shein of anticompetitive conduct. Two companies with parallel privacy problems are, at the same time, adversaries fighting over stolen images and market tactics.

Terms
Arbitration
Not independently confirmed this pass — recommend checking whether Shein's Terms mirror Temu's arbitration-first strategy given the structural similarity between the two companies.
Data sharing
Same general category of concerns as Temu (Chinese-owned, fast-fashion/discount marketplace); Shein and Temu are also suing EACH OTHER — Shein alleges Temu used thousands of Shein's copyrighted images as promotional photos, while Temu has separately accused Shein of anticompetitive conduct — a genuinely unusual dynamic where two companies with similar customer-data concerns are also adversaries in litigation against each other.
Fees and billing

Legal notice. Not verified this pass. If publicly traded: SEC Form 10-K cover page gives the official corporate address; the Secretary of State business-entity search in the state of incorporation gives the registered agent, which must accept service.
