1. Our Commitment
SellStein respects the trademark rights of others and expects our merchants to do the same. We respond to valid reports of trademark infringement and take appropriate action to remove infringing content from our platform.

Trademark infringement on the SellStein platform may include, but is not limited to:

- Using brand names, logos, or trade dress in domain names, store names, or metadata to mislead consumers
Note: Not all uses of a trademark constitute infringement. Nominative fair use (e.g., "Compatible with [Brand]"), comparative advertising, commentary, and parody may be protected under applicable law.
