Preparing your marketplace experience.This policy explains how BazaarCo addresses intellectual property concerns on the Platform, including counterfeit products, unauthorized use of brand assets, and infringement involving listings, media, user content, or other marketplace activity.
This policy should be read together with the Terms & Conditions, Community Guidelines, Prohibited Products Policy, Seller Code of Conduct, and Product Listing Rules.
This policy applies to alleged misuse or infringement involving:
BazaarCo respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all Users to do the same.
Users must not:
Sellers and other Users are responsible for ensuring that content and products they upload, offer, or promote on BazaarCo do not infringe third-party rights.
This includes responsibility for:
If you are unsure whether you have the right to use or sell something, do not list or upload it.
Sellers on BazaarCo are independent businesses and are contractually required to ensure they possess ownership, valid licenses, brand authorization, distributor rights, or other lawful permissions for all images, descriptions, logos, catalog data, media files, and listing materials uploaded to their Stores.
This responsibility applies to regular listing uploads, bulk uploads, CSV, Excel, or JSON catalog imports, image URL imports, and migrations from external e-commerce dashboards or third-party platforms.
BazaarCo operates as a neutral marketplace platform. BazaarCo does not routinely cross-verify the legal ownership of uploaded media, catalog data, product descriptions, or migrated files before publication. Sellers remain responsible for ensuring that their uploads do not infringe third-party copyright, trademark, design, publicity, privacy, platform, contractual, or proprietary rights.
Counterfeit, fake-branded, replica, pirated, or otherwise infringing goods are prohibited on BazaarCo.
Examples include:
Such products may also violate BazaarCo's Prohibited Products Policy.
Rights holders or their authorized representatives may report suspected infringement to BazaarCo.
To help BazaarCo review the complaint efficiently, the report should include:
Supporting documents, screenshots, registration records, authorization letters, product-authenticity evidence, and other relevant materials should be included where available.
Complaints may be sent to:
IP ComplaintBazaarCo may request additional information before taking action.
Upon receipt of a valid and sufficiently complete intellectual property complaint, BazaarCo may expeditiously remove or disable access to the disputed material while the matter is reviewed. BazaarCo follows marketplace notice-and-action and safe-harbor principles where applicable. Prompt removal or disabling of reported seller-uploaded content does not mean BazaarCo admits liability, confirms infringement, or validates every claim in the complaint.
BazaarCo may reject, delay, or request clarification for notices that are incomplete, inaccurate, abusive, unverifiable, or not submitted by a rights owner or authorized agent.
After receiving an intellectual property complaint, BazaarCo may:
BazaarCo is not required to leave reported content active while a credible infringement review is pending.
If BazaarCo contacts a Seller or User about a reported infringement, that Seller or User may be asked to provide evidence such as:
Failure to respond, or providing inconsistent or unreliable evidence, may lead BazaarCo to act based on the available record.
Depending on the circumstances, BazaarCo may:
Not every complaint will result in removal, and not every denial of a complaint means BazaarCo has validated the Seller's broader rights position.
BazaarCo may take escalating action against repeat infringers or serious one-time violators.
Examples of serious violations include:
For serious or repeated violations, BazaarCo may bypass warnings and proceed directly to suspension, payout hold, or permanent account termination.
Users should report intellectual property concerns in good faith.
You must not knowingly submit false, abusive, retaliatory, or misleading infringement claims. BazaarCo may take action against misuse of the complaint process, including where a complaint is used primarily to harass competitors or suppress lawful listings.
The BazaarCo name, logos, software, interface elements, design, content, and related materials are owned by BazaarCo or its licensors unless otherwise stated.
Users must not copy, reproduce, scrape, republish, distribute, reverse engineer, or commercially exploit BazaarCo's platform materials except as allowed by law or with BazaarCo's written permission.
