Onepage supports the protection of intellectual property and the Acceptable Use Policy prohibits posting or uploading content that infringes on the copyright or trademarks of others. 

About intellectual property 
Intellectual property refers to something produced as the result of creativity. This includes tangible and intangible works, such as books, text, code, images, videos, logos, and slogans. Copyright and trademark are two types of intellectual property. 

Store owners need to protect their intellectual property, and make sure that they don't infringe on someone else's intellectual property. 

About copyright 
Copyright protects tangible original works, such as photos on an online store. 

Copyright laws vary by country or region, but generally copyright applies from the time the work is created. In many countries or regions, copyrights can also be registered with the government’s copyright office. 

A copyright owner has the exclusive rights to copy, display, distribute, sell, or perform their works, or to create derivative works. A copyright owner controls how their works are used, and others who want to use their works need to get their permission. If someone uses copyrighted works without permission from the owner, then they might be infringing on the copyright. 

Learn more about copyright on the U.S. Copyright Office website or the Canadian Intellectual Property Office's Guide to copyright. 

About trademarks 
Trademarks protect unique symbols or words that identify and distinguish a business or product from other businesses or products. 

Once registered, a trademark has certain protections under the law, and the trademark owner has the exclusive rights to use the claimed trademark for certain products or services. If someone uses a trademark without permission in a way that causes confusion about the brand, product or services, then they might be infringing on a trademark. 

Learn more about trademark on the United States Patent and Trademark Office website. 

Dropshipping and intellectual property 

If you dropship products, then you can choose which products, services, and suppliers you work with. You should also consider the risks because some suppliers might list copyrighted, branded or trademarked goods.  

Some product categories that carry a higher risk of being copyrighted, branded or trademarked goods can include: 
- Clothing 
- Designer bags 
- Watches 
- Cosmetics 
- Electrical items 
- Toys 

Copyright policy 
It is Onepage’s policy to expeditiously respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office website, https://www.copyright.gov. 

It is expected that all users of any part of Onepage will comply with applicable copyright laws. If, however, we receive proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, our response to such notices will include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating the user’s account. 

In accordance with Section 512(i)(1)(a) of the DMCA, Onepage will, in appropriate circumstances, disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
