Fanmeka’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines do not allow posting, uploading, publishing, submitting, or transmitting any content that violates or infringes someone else’s intellectual property rights, including copyright and trademark.
Do not infringe on IP that you do not own or have not licensed. If a seller violates this policy, they may be subject to investigation and receive corrective action in accordance with our Enforcement Policy, up to and including removal from the platform. IP infringement may also violate laws in your jurisdiction and result in severe penalties.
2. Counterfeit items or items infringing on a third party's intellectual property rights
- No sales, listings, or giveaways of any counterfeit, imitation, fake, replicas, bootlegs, or non-genuine items.
- No content or sales of any items that violate or infringes another party’s copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights. This includes using the Fanmeka name, logo, or other brand assets without explicit approval from Fanmeka.
