1. Purpose of This Policy

This Intellectual Property Policy explains how intellectual property rights apply on MRNMarket and how MRNMarket may review, restrict, remove, or respond to alleged infringement involving Products, Services, Listings, User Content, Platform Content, trademarks, copyrights, patents, designs, brand names, logos, images, descriptions, and other protected materials.

This Policy is intended to support lawful commerce, protect rights owners, reduce counterfeit and infringing activity, support Seller accountability, and preserve marketplace integrity.

This Policy should be read together with the DMCA / IP Takedown Policy, Listing Policy, Prohibited Products Policy, Seller Agreement, Terms & Conditions, Acceptable Use Policy, Platform Rules & Governance Policy, and other applicable MRNMarket policies.

2. MRNMarket’s Marketplace Role

MRNMarket operates primarily as a marketplace technology platform.

Unless a Product or Service is clearly identified as sold by MRNMarket Official Store, MRNMarket is generally not the Seller, manufacturer, supplier, warehouse operator, carrier, importer of record, exporter of record, customs broker, Merchant of Record, legal adviser, tax adviser, or party to the underlying sale contract between Buyer and Seller.

Sellers are responsible for ensuring that their Products, Services, Listings, images, descriptions, branding, claims, packaging, documents, and User Content do not infringe intellectual property rights or violate applicable law.

MRNMarket may provide listing tools, moderation tools, reporting tools, IP complaint processes, and enforcement processes. Providing these tools does not make MRNMarket responsible for Seller Products, Seller Content, Seller conduct, Product authenticity, or Seller legal compliance, except where required by applicable law.

7. User Content License

By submitting, uploading, posting, transmitting, displaying, or making available User Content on or through the Platform, the User grants MRNMarket a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to use, host, store, copy, reproduce, display, publish, distribute, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works from, and otherwise process User Content for purposes of operating, promoting, improving, securing, supporting, and enforcing the Platform and MRNMarket policies.

18. Repeat Infringer Policy

20. No Legal Advice or Legal Determination

MRNMarket does not provide legal advice and does not act as a court or intellectual property tribunal.

MRNMarket’s review of IP complaints is a platform-level administrative process and does not determine legal ownership, infringement, validity, enforceability, fair use, license scope, or liability.

A Platform-Level Decision is not a court judgment, arbitral award, or legal determination of liability.

Users should obtain independent legal advice where needed.

21. No Guarantee

MRNMarket may provide IP reporting, review, moderation, and enforcement processes, but MRNMarket does not guarantee:

1. detection of all infringing content;
2. removal of all infringing Products;
3. accuracy of all complaints;
4. prevention of counterfeit activity;
5. prevention of repeat infringement;
6. validity of rights claimed;
7. accuracy of Seller authenticity claims;
8. or a specific complaint outcome.

Users remain responsible for their own Products, Listings, content, rights, and legal compliance.
