Offering for sale or selling products that infringe on the intellectual property rights of others is strictly prohibited on Wish. This behavior violates Wish’s Merchant Terms of Service and can expose Merchants to potential legal risks. Owners of intellectual property rights can, and sometimes do, initiate civil lawsuits against Merchants for offering to sell, or actually selling, allegedly infringing products. These lawsuits commonly result in the issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and/or other injunctions.
For merchants who have been named as defendants in lawsuits related to alleged violations of plaintiff brands’ trademarks or copyrights, please note the following:
- You have legal rights to respond to such lawsuits, and an attorney may be able to help defend you. If you fail to defend yourself, the court might order Wish to transfer all funds in your account to the plaintiff brand.
- We suggest that you hire an attorney to help you in this lawsuit. For example, an attorney might help you:
- determine if you are still able to operate your store and make sales that are unrelated to the products listed in the lawsuit and court order.
- try to reach a settlement with the brand so that Wish may then be allowed to transfer future funds to you.
