Authentic Items Policy

Nawewee prohibits the listing and sale of inauthentic merchandise, including any items that have been manufactured, replicated, or reproduced without authorization. All items bearing a company’s official brand name or logo must have been lawfully made by, for, or with the consent of that company, otherwise the vendor is in violation of Nawewee’s Authentic Items policy.

It is the responsibility of each vendor to source and sell only authentic products. If a vendor is determined by Nawewee to have sold inauthentic/counterfeit goods, Nawewee may suspend or terminate the vendor’s ability to sell on Nawewee immediately, indefinitely, and without warning; and current or future payments held by Nawewee on the vendor’s behalf may be forfeited, withheld, and applied towards the reimbursement of buyers.

If a buyer receives an item determined to be inauthentic, Nawewee will not facilitate the return or replacement of this item to the vendor and the vendor bears the entire risk of losing the physical item, the monetary value of the item, and the privilege to continue selling on Nawewee. Sales of inauthentic/counterfeit goods may also lead to civil and criminal penalties and legal action against sellers by the lawful owners of the intellectual property infringed upon, and Nawewee will cooperate with the appropriate parties in holding the offending vendors accountable.
