Content, Media & IP Usage Policy

This Content, Media & IP Usage Policy governs the creation, submission, use, and ownership of all content, images, media, and intellectual property used on the eBuy.store platform. This policy exists to prevent fraud, misrepresentation, and intellectual property violations, and to protect eBuy.store from legal claims arising from user-generated content.

1. Purpose of this policy

The purpose of this policy is to:

• Ensure that listings accurately represent items offered for sale
• Prevent use of stolen, scraped, or misappropriated content
• Clarify ownership responsibility for uploaded materials
• Protect eBuy.store from third-party intellectual property claims

This policy does not imply verification of ownership or authenticity by eBuy.store.

2. User-generated content responsibility

All listings, images, descriptions, videos, and other materials uploaded to the Platform are user-generated content. The user who uploads content:

• Represents that they own the item or have legal rights to sell it
• Represents that they have lawful rights to use all uploaded content
• Accepts full responsibility for the accuracy and legality of such content

eBuy.store does not independently verify ownership of items or media.

3. Prohibited content sources

The following are strictly prohibited:

• Images copied from the internet, marketplaces, auction sites, or forums
• Images taken from social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, X, etc.)
• Stock photos, catalog images, or third-party promotional material
• Images or descriptions belonging to collectors, dealers, museums, or institutions without explicit permission

Listings using such content may be removed immediately.

4. Item ownership and possession representation

By listing an item, the seller represents and warrants that:

• The item is currently owned or lawfully controlled by the seller
• The item is available for sale at the time of listing
• The item is not listed on behalf of another party without disclosure and authority

Listing items not owned, not possessed, or not legally saleable is prohibited.

5. Counterfeit, replica, and misrepresentation rules

• Counterfeit, forged, or illegal items are prohibited.
• Replica or reproduction items must be clearly and prominently disclosed.
• Misleading descriptions, omission of material facts, or deceptive imagery are violations.

Expert opinions do not override seller responsibility.

6. License granted to eBuy.store

By uploading content, users grant eBuy.store a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to:

• Host, display, reproduce, and distribute content
• Use content for platform operations, moderation, and dispute handling

This license terminates only when content is permanently removed, except where retention is required for legal or audit purposes.

7. Intellectual property infringement claims

If a third party claims that content or a listing infringes their rights:

• eBuy.store may remove or restrict the content without notice
• The seller is solely responsible for resolving the claim
• eBuy.store may share seller information where legally required

eBuy.store does not act as an arbitrator of IP ownership.

8. Indemnification

Sellers and users agree to fully indemnify and hold harmless eBuy.store from:

• IP infringement claims
• Ownership disputes
• Misrepresentation or fraud allegations
• Legal costs, damages, or penalties arising from user content

This indemnity survives account termination.

9. Enforcement actions

Violations of this policy may result in:

• Immediate content removal
• Listing or selling restrictions
• Account suspension or termination
• Referral to legal authorities where required

Enforcement actions are discretionary and final.

10. No verification or endorsement

eBuy.store:

• Does not verify item ownership or media rights
• Does not endorse listings or content
• Does not guarantee authenticity, legality, or availability

Users rely on listings at their own risk.

11. No waiver

Failure to enforce this policy in one instance does not waive the right to enforce it in future cases.

12. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated to reflect:

• Legal developments
• Platform risk controls
• Content governance improvements

Updates become effective upon publication.
