Intellectual Property Policy

Last updated: July 29, 2026

Genny is a multi-vendor marketplace where independent sellers list and sell their own goods. This Intellectual Property (IP) Policy explains our approach to protecting the rights of creators, sellers, and rights holders, and how we respond to reports of infringement.

Seller Obligations

By opening a storefront on Genny, sellers agree to our Terms & Conditions, which require that all product listings, photography, text, and designs are either originally created by the seller or used with proper authorization or license. Sellers may not list or display any content that infringes a third party's copyright, trademark, or patent rights.

Our Role as a Marketplace

Genny operates as a neutral, third-party marketplace platform. We do not create, curate, or pre-approve individual seller listings, and we do not obtain licenses on behalf of sellers for the products they list. Sellers are solely responsible for ensuring they have the rights to the content and products they post.

Reporting Infringement

If you're a rights holder and believe a listing on Genny infringes your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, please send a notice to hello@shopgenny.com with:

  • Identification of the copyrighted work or trademark you believe has been infringed
  • The specific listing or URL where the material appears
  • Your contact information
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on their behalf

Our Response Process

Upon receiving a valid notice, we will promptly remove or disable access to the reported listing and notify the affected seller. Sellers who believe a listing was removed in error may submit a counter-notice; reinstatement will follow the timelines and requirements described in our Terms & Conditions unless the rights holder pursues formal legal action.

Repeat Infringer Policy

Genny enforces a repeat infringer policy. Sellers who receive multiple substantiated infringement complaints may have their listings removed and their store suspended or permanently closed.

Our Own Brand

Genny's name, logo, and site content are our own intellectual property or used under license, and may not be copied or used without our permission.
