TradeGroove Intellectual Property and DMCA Policy
Last updated: June 26, 2026
Effective date: June 26, 2026
TradeGroove respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same.
1. User Responsibilities
You may only upload or share content that you own, created, licensed, or are otherwise authorized to use. You may not list, request, trade, promote, or distribute counterfeit goods, pirated goods, unauthorized replicas, bootlegs, copied designs, infringing software, unauthorized digital goods, or content that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, or other rights.
Using a brand name, logo, designer name, image, character, celebrity name, or copyrighted work in a listing must be truthful, lawful, and not misleading.
2. TradeGroove Content
TradeGroove's name, logos, branding, app design, software, graphics, interfaces, code, and other materials are owned by TradeGroove or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from TradeGroove materials except as allowed by law or written permission.
3. Infringement Reports
If you believe content on TradeGroove infringes your rights, send a notice to:
TradeGroove LLC
dmca@tradegroove.app
213 2nd Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648
Your notice should include:
- Your name, address, phone number, and email address.
- Identification of the copyrighted work, trademark, or other right you claim is infringed.
- Identification of the content you want removed, including enough information for us to locate it.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury where applicable, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
For copyright claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the notice should satisfy 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3). TradeGroove should register and maintain a designated DMCA agent with the U.S. Copyright Office before relying on DMCA safe-harbor procedures.
4. Counter-Notices
If your content was removed because of a copyright notice and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to dmca@tradegroove.app. Your counter-notice should include the information required by 17 U.S.C. 512(g), including your contact information, identification of the removed content, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the content was removed by mistake or misidentification, consent to the appropriate court jurisdiction, and your physical or electronic signature.
We may restore removed content if the complaining party does not file a court action within the time required by law.
5. Repeat Infringers
TradeGroove may suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights or repeatedly list counterfeit, pirated, unauthorized, or misleading goods.
6. Trademark and Counterfeit Claims
TradeGroove may remove listings that appear to involve counterfeit goods, unauthorized replicas, confusing brand use, or other trademark concerns. We may request proof of authenticity, purchase history, authorization, or other information, but approval does not mean TradeGroove has authenticated an item.
