Takedown & Infringement Policy

Cinderella is a marketplace for code, products, and ideas. We take intellectual property seriously. If a listing infringes your rights, tell us and we will act.

What you can report

• Copyright — a listing contains code, content, or assets you own and did not

license to the seller.

• Stolen code — the repository is yours and was posted without your permission.
• Ownership — the seller does not actually own or have the right to sell what

they listed.

• Trademark — a listing misuses your brand, name, or marks.

How to file a report

Every listing has a Report this listing link. Choose a reason, describe the claim, and give us a contact email. A complete report includes:

1. Identification of the work you say is infringed (a link, repo, or description).
2. Identification of the listing you're reporting.
3. Enough detail for us to locate and assess the claim — proof of ownership helps.
4. Your contact information.
5. A statement, made in good faith, that the use is not authorized by you, the

rights holder, or the law.

You can also email legal@cinderella.example with the same information.

What happens next

• Our team reviews every report. We may withdraw the listing while we

investigate.

• If we take a listing down, we notify the seller and give them a chance to

respond with a counter-notice.

• We may reinstate a listing if the seller provides a valid counter-notice and

the reporter does not pursue the claim.

• Sellers who repeatedly infringe are removed from the marketplace.

Escrow protection

Because payments are held in escrow until the buyer confirms the handoff, a listing taken down before release means no funds move to an infringing seller. If a dispute arises after purchase, contact us and we can refund a held sale.

Good-faith requirement

Filing a knowingly false or bad-faith report may carry legal liability. Only report a listing if you have a genuine, good-faith belief that it infringes your rights.
