Appeal
Subject: Appeal for Product Violations – Trademark and Restricted Policy Violation
Dear Amazon Seller Performance Team,
I am writing to appeal the product violations related to copyright and restricted policies that have been applied to my seller account. I take these matters seriously and would like to clarify the situation and provide context to demonstrate that my products do not violate any policies.
1. Generic and Unbranded Replacement Parts:
The products I sell are generic, unbranded replacement parts designed to be compatible with various original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products. These parts are intended as cost-effective alternatives to brand-name products and are not intended to infringe upon any intellectual property rights. All parts I offer are non-branded and do not include any trademarks or logos belonging to other companies.
2. No Copyright Infringement:
I have taken every precaution to ensure that my listings do not infringe on any copyrights. The product images, descriptions, and titles used in my listings are original and accurately represent the products without referencing any copyrighted logos, trademarks, or protected materials. The replacement parts are designed purely for compatibility and not for any other deceptive or misleading purpose.
3. Amazon's Restricted Products Policy:
I understand that Amazon has specific guidelines regarding restricted products and intellectual property. To the best of my knowledge, my products comply with Amazon’s policies. If any violation has occurred, I assure you that it was unintentional. I have reviewed the following Amazon guidelines to ensure my compliance:
