Your listings and other people's work
Two rules cover most intellectual-property situations on Chase Sets:
- Sell genuine products. Every listing is created against a Chase Sets catalog entry, and the item you ship must genuinely be that product. Counterfeits and reproductions presented as genuine are covered in Prohibited and restricted items.
- Use your own photos and words. Your listing photos must show your actual item. Copying another seller's photos can be flagged with a stolen-photos report, and using content you have no right to use can also draw a formal infringement notice.
If someone reports your listing, it goes to Trust & Safety review; enough distinct reports unlist an active listing automatically while a person reviews it. Every moderation action is recorded with who took it and why.
Two ways to raise an infringement problem
If content on Chase Sets uses your work without permission, you can raise it two ways:
- Report it in place. Use the report control on the listing — for example a counterfeit concern or stolen photos. This is the fastest path for straightforward cases and is open to anyone.
- Send a formal DMCA notice. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act gives copyright owners a formal notice-and-takedown path, described below. Use it when you want the statutory process, when you act for another rights holder, or when the in-place report does not fit the situation.
What a DMCA notice must contain
Under Section 512 of the Copyright Act, a notification of claimed infringement must include, in substance (reviewed against the U.S. Copyright Office's Section 512 materials on August 2, 2026):
- identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed, or a representative list if there are many
- identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough location detail — on Chase Sets, the listing or review URL — for it to be found
- your name, address, telephone number, and email address
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
- a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the copyright owner
- your physical or electronic signature
A knowingly false claim of infringement carries legal exposure under the statute, so send a notice only for work you own or are authorized to act for.
Where to send a notice
Send DMCA notices for Chase Sets to the designated contact:
Todd Skelton, Chase Sets Limited, PO Box 164, Maize, KS 67101-0164, US.
For general questions about a notice you sent or received, you can also reach support@chasesets.com.
As of the August 2, 2026 review, a matching current record for this contact could not be verified in the U.S. Copyright Office's public DMCA Designated Agent Directory, so this article carries the status marker registration-status-unverified. This marker is removed only when a current directory record is verified.
If your listing is taken down: counter-notices
If material you posted is removed after an infringement notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, Section 512 provides a counter-notice path. A counter-notice must include, in substance:
- your physical or electronic signature
- identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal
- a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification
- your name, address, and telephone number, and consent to federal court jurisdiction as the statute describes
Send counter-notices to the same contact listed above; a person reviews each one under the statute's procedure. The statute provides that a service provider restores material no less than ten and no more than fourteen business days after receiving a valid counter-notice, unless the original claimant notifies the provider that it has filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement.
Repeat infringement
Section 512 conditions its safe harbor on a policy that provides for terminating repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. On Chase Sets, infringement findings can escalate beyond the listing: content moderation can escalate an account for suspension, and an account can be suspended or, for the most serious cases, closed. A suspended account can be reactivated once the underlying issue is resolved; closure is final.
This article describes the statutory framework and Chase Sets' handling in plain language; it is not legal advice, and questions about your own rights or exposure belong with your own counsel.
