Counterfeit item policy

Created by Donnate Support, Modified on Thu, 2 Nov, 2023 at 12:14 PM by Donnate Support


We don't allow counterfeit items or unauthorised copies to be listed on Donnate. Items sold using a brand name or a brand logo must be original and made by the brand or manufactured on their behalf. Software, music, movies, and other media must be original and not unauthorised copies.


Counterfeit products are illegal and not allowed on Donnate. These items may infringe on someone’s copyright or trademark. Examples of counterfeit products include:

  • A replica handbag, watch or pair of sneakers
  • Knockoff electronics, such as headphones or accessories like a charging cable
  • An unauthorised reprint of a trading card
  • A T-shirt or mug printed with copyrighted images
  • Bootleg recordings of a concert or other live shows
  • Unauthorised copies of movies, music or software
  • Pirated recordings of television shows


Do not list an item if you are not certain it is authentic or if an authenticator has been unable to confirm its authenticity


Activity on Donnate is required to:

  • Follow all applicable laws
  • Respect the rights of third parties
  • Follow the Donnate User Agreement
  • Follow this Donnate policy


If activity doesn’t meet these requirements, Donnate may take action consistent with applicable laws and the Donnate User Agreement and may even be legally required to do so. Such actions may include, as an example only: administratively ending listings or cancelling transactions; hiding or lowering the placement of listings in search results; restricting buying or selling; and account suspension.
