Copyright and intellectual property
v1.0 · Effective 23/08/2026
This policy explains who owns what appears on mr.bid Ghana, the licence you give us so the marketplace can run, and how a rights holder asks us to review a listing. It covers copyright and other intellectual property used on listings, photos, messages, and shop pages. Safety reports (scam, prohibited item, abuse) stay on the listing Report form.
Your rights in what you post
You keep the rights you already have in your own photographs, text, and other work. Posting on mr.bid is not a sale of those rights to us, and it is not a sale to other members.
You must have the right to post what you post. That includes photos you took, text you wrote, and brand names you are allowed to use. Do not upload someone else's photograph, listing copy, logo, or design as if it were yours. Do not list a counterfeit as genuine, and do not use another company's mark in a way that would make a buyer think the item is official when it is not.
Licence so the marketplace can run
When you post a listing, photo, message, or shop detail, you give mr.bid Ghana a non-exclusive licence to store it, display it, make resized copies for cards and share previews, and show it in search, category pages, and merchandising rails. We use that licence only to operate and present the marketplace. You can still use the same work elsewhere.
If you unpublish or delete a listing, we take it off the public marketplace. We may keep a copy where a deal, a report, a copyright case, or a legal hold still needs the record.
The mr.bid name, logo, and layout are ours. You may say that you sell on mr.bid. You may not copy the site design or use the mark as if you operate this marketplace.
