Counterfeits and intellectual property

Replicas, knock-offs, and anything that imitates another company's trademark or the distinctive look of its product are removed from Jinu. Saying it is a replica in the description does not make it allowed.

What counts

• Counterfeit and unauthorized branded goods, including anything carrying a mark you are not authorized to use. Bags, watches, sneakers, clothing, sunglasses, electronics and parts are where this shows up most.
• Wording that advertises the imitation: replica, knock-off, mirror copy, 1:1, AAA quality, inspired by, dupe.
• Pirated, cracked or unlicensed software, media and streaming content, and the devices, keys and accounts sold to reach them, including loaded streaming boxes and resold subscriptions.
• Anything designed to defeat a technical protection: modchips, jailbreaking services, unauthorized streaming devices.

Selling something genuine that looks suspicious

A real designer item is welcome on Jinu. Photograph the actual item you have rather than using a stock picture, include the serial or model number, show the label and any receipt or authenticity card you still have, and describe the wear honestly. The words in the list above are what stop a listing, so leave them out unless they apply.

If you are the rights holder

Send a copyright or trademark complaint through Copyright and intellectual property, which is the process Jinu is required to run and the one that produces a takedown. Other legal questions go to legal@jinu.app. A report from the listing page also works and is faster for an obvious fake, but it does not carry the legal weight of a formal notice.

If you bought a fake

Jinu is not a party to the sale and cannot refund you. Ask the seller first, report the listing so the account is looked at, and if you paid by card, talk to your card issuer. Read "Jinu never holds your money" for why the payment method decides how much recourse you have.
