How to avoid infringing someone's copyright, trade mark or other right.
You must not list items on quicksales where the advertising or sale of that item would infringe a third party's intellectual property rights. In listing your item, only use your own text, wording, pictures, photos and designs. To avoid infringing copyright do not copy material (including text, pictures, photographs etc) from others. Only use material that you have created yourself or the copyright in which you own or have the licence to use from the copyright owner. Do not link to unauthorised pictures or copied pictures without prior written consent from the copyright owner.

Reporting items that infringe someone's IP.
We reserve the right to remove items from the site if they are in breach of any of our policies. Please see our prohibited items list.

quicksales does not warrant to you that it will monitor the Site to determine whether any material posted by members infringes any said party rights. If you are an intellectual property rights owner and you believe a user of the Site has infringed your intellectual property rights, we ask that you communicate with the seller first as most disputes can be solved by direct communication.

Any company or individual or their authorised representative that holds registered intellectual property (IP) rights can report any listings that infringe their IP to quicksales by sending us a copy of the registered IP documentation and the listings will be removed.
In the case of text and image copyright infringements we require a signed letter confirming that you are the owner of the relevant copyright, that you believe in good faith that the use complained of is not authorised by you and infringes your intellectual property rights. These documents can be scanned and emailed (notify us first) or faxed to 03 9093 8796.
