Please send a detailed infringement notice to:

Description of the protected work(s)
Description of the infringement and why it violates your rights
A good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized

5. Review Process

Once a valid IP complaint is received:

Stargleed reviews the claim and verifies ownership.
The listing may be temporarily removed during the investigation.
The seller will be notified and asked to provide a response or supporting documentation.
Stargleed will evaluate both sides and make a case-by-case determination.
Confirmed infringements result in permanent listing removal and possible account sanctions.

Stargleed may also forward serious violations to appropriate authorities.

If a seller believes that their content or product listing was removed in error, they may submit a counter-notice.

Counter-notices must include:

Seller’s full contact information
Identification of the removed listing
A statement explaining why the listing is not infringing
Proof of authorization or ownership (licenses, invoices, permissions)
A statement under penalty of perjury that the claim is valid

Stargleed will evaluate the counter-notice and restore listings when appropriate.

Stargleed maintains a strict repeat-infringer policy:

Sellers who repeatedly violate IP laws may face:
- Account suspension
