 Half.com Policies - Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) Program
Protecting Intellectual Property
Half.com does not and cannot verify that sellers have the right or ability to sell or distribute their listed items. However, we are committed to removing infringing or unlicensed items once an authorized representative of the rights owner properly reports them to us. Half.com's Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) Program works to ensure that items listed for sale do not infringe upon the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of third parties. VeRO Program participants may identify and request removal of allegedly infringing listings.
Any person or company who holds intellectual property rights (such as a copyright, trademark or patent) which may be infringed by Half.com sale listings is encouraged to become a VeRO Program Member. It's fast and its simple to do so.
Program participation entitles you to the following benefits:
Dedicated Half.com staff to assist you in getting the most out of the Program Rapid response by Half.com in removing items reported by you as allegedly infringing Dedicated priority email queues for reporting alleged infringements
How to Become a VeRO Program Member
It is fast and simple to join the VeRO Program. We require only that you fill out and fax to us a Notice of Infringement form specifying the allegedly infringing listings and infringed works, complete with an original authorized signature. The information requested by the Notice of Infringement is designed to ensure that parties reporting items are authorized by the rights owners, and to enable Half.com to correctly identify the material or listing to be ended. After your first Notice of Infringement is received by us, you'll be able to transmit future notices to Half.com by email.
