Lokona respects intellectual property rights and expects our users to do the same. This policy explains how we handle copyright infringement claims on our platform.
01Introduction
Lokona is a user-generated content platform. Sellers post their own photos and descriptions of items they wish to sell. Lokona does not create or own most content on the platform, users do.
If you believe that content on Lokona infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, you may submit a notice to us. We will review valid notices and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the content in question.

- A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
- The URL or location on Lokona of the content you believe is infringing.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the content is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

We will review your notice and respond within 5 business days. If we determine the notice is valid, we will remove or disable the content and notify the user who posted it.
