Copyright and IP Policy Overview
FlashListing hosts user-generated sale pages, item descriptions, and photos uploaded by sellers and collaborators. Sellers are responsible for ensuring they own or have permission to use all content they upload and that listings do not infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights.
This policy explains how rights holders can report alleged infringement and how users may respond if they believe content was removed or restricted by mistake.
How to Submit a Takedown Notice
To report alleged copyright infringement, email copyright@flashlisting.io with enough information for us to evaluate and locate the material:
- Your full legal name, organization if applicable, mailing address, phone number, and email address.
- A description of the copyrighted work or other rights allegedly infringed.
- The exact FlashListing URL and item title where the allegedly infringing material appears.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorized to act for the rights owner.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Our Response to Reports
When we receive a sufficiently detailed report, we may remove, disable, restrict, preserve, or investigate the reported content. We may notify the user who posted the content and may share the report details as needed to evaluate, resolve, or legally process the complaint.
FlashListing may reject incomplete, abusive, fraudulent, or legally insufficient reports. Removal does not mean FlashListing has made a final legal determination about infringement.
Counter-Notification
If your content was removed and you believe removal was mistaken or unauthorized, you may send a counter-notification to copyright@flashlisting.io. Include your contact information, the removed material and URL, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, your consent to jurisdiction in the appropriate federal court, and your physical or electronic signature.
We may forward your counter-notification to the complaining party and may restore content where legally appropriate.
Repeat Infringers and Misuse
We may suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe rights or repeatedly submit listings that create intellectual property risk. We may also restrict users who submit fraudulent, abusive, or bad-faith takedown notices.
