Legal Term
Etsy Seller Intellectual Property Rights Terms
Legal Definition
The specific clauses within Etsy's legally binding Seller Agreement that define the ownership, licensing, infringement responsibilities, and protection mechanisms for intellectual property—including copyrights, trademarks, and design rights—associated with products listed and sold on the Etsy marketplace.
In Plain English
The rules on Etsy that explain who owns the rights to creative items sold by sellers (like handmade goods or digital art) and what permissions sellers give Etsy to use those rights for running the site.
Example in a Contract
Seller warrants that all Listings and Products do not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights. Seller grants Etsy a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and display any intellectual property in Listings and Product images for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Etsy platform and its affiliated services.
