All of Us have an interest in confirming that the products advertised through the site are not
counterfeit or in any other way infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.
If You are a BrokerBin member that lists products for sale, You are solely responsible for the
description of the item and for the authenticity of that item. If Your listing or product violates
any BrokerBin policy, any regulation, rule or law, or is reported to Us by an owner of the
intellectual property rights of the product or listing that the product or listing violates any
rights of the intellectual property owner, the listing may be removed by Us and We may terminate
Your membership. If a complaint is made against You alleging that You have sold counterfeit product
or have otherwise violated the Intellectual Property rights of others, we will allow you to explain
Your version of the facts giving rise to the complaint made against You. To help verify that the
product and listing does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of the owner, BrokerBin
has created an Intellectual Property Rights Owners Protection (“I PROP”) Program for any alleged
violations of the property rights of others (See IPROP page 3 – for reporting suspected violations).
Even if You are not the owner of the intellectual property rights, but believe there may be a
violation, please report any potential violations. This Policy does not replace or supersede any
other obligations You have as a Member of BrokerBin.
The following are only general guidelines to help You create listings that don’t infringe on the
intellectual property rights of others. Those are only general guidelines that are not legal advice
and are not to be construed as such. If You have questions about whether Your product or listing
infringes the intellectual property rights of others, You should contact the manufacturer of the
product you are listing, or an intellectual property attorney.
-
Make sure what You are selling is authentic;
-
Your product must be authentic. You must list only parts or products that are authentic. You may
not list any counterfeit products. Legally it is no excuse to say that You did not know Your
product was not authentic. It is Your obligation to investigate Your source for the products You
list and to ensure that all products You list are authentic;
-
It is Your responsibility as a Seller to make sure that products You list do not infringe the
intellectual property rights of others. If You are not sure the product You are listing is
authentic, contact the intellectual property rights owner/manufacturer with any questions;
-
Use brand names and images appropriately;
-
Create your own content;
-
Contact the owner of the intellectual property before You create Your listing if You have any
questions.
When selling a brand name product, You may mention the brand, and You may include photos that You
have taken or that You have permission to use. Do not use the manufacturer’s text, images or logo
unless you are authorized to do so. Do not suggest You are an authorized dealer or re-seller if You
are not.
BrokerBin respects the intellectual property rights of others. If You think that a listing or
product on the site is a violation of Your intellectual property rights, including copy rights,
trademark or is a counterfeit product, please follow our Intellectual Property Rights Owners
Procedure for making claims of infringement.
BrokerBin investigates and responds promptly to any complaint alleging violations of intellectual
property rights.
If You believe that a listing or product on the site violates Your intellectual property rights,
please
follow the procedure immediately following this section to report an alleged violation.
BrokerBin created the I PROP program to help protect the intellectual property rights of Sellers and
purchasing BrokerBin members. The owners of intellectual property rights are ultimately responsible
for
protecting their intellectual property and We are not experts in the intellectual property rights of
others. We need your help in identifying those listings on products that You believe violate your
intellectual property rights, or those of others.
If You believe that an item or listing infringes on your intellectual property rights, or those of
someone else, please report the alleged infringement by completing and submitting an online
notification
form (Link).
You may instead submit a report in writing. In order to analyze Your complaint, please provide the
following information:
-
A signature of the person making the complaint alleging violation of the intellectual property
rights of the owner of the intellectual property in directing that the person signing the report
is
authorized to act on behalf of the intellectual property owner;
-
A description of the listing or product that you assert violates your intellectual property
rights;
-
The mail address, phone number and email address for you;
-
Your statement that you have a good faith basis for asserting that there is a violation of the
intellectual property rights of the owner.
