Intellectual Property Rights

Begonova.com does fully respect the intellectual property rights of third parties and has a strict zero-tolerance policy against any counterfeit and/or infringement of intellectual property.

We do regularly review the listings on our website in order to avoid any possible intellectual property infringement. If any listing is found to violate Begonova.com’s policy, it will be removed.

 

Despite our efforts to avoid any sale of infringing products on our website, due to the high number of products, providers, and sellers, there are times in which we cannot detect or identify intellectual property infringements. That is why we strongly encourage our customers or intellectual property right holders to cooperate with us. In this sense, if you believe your intellectual property right has been infringed, we urge you to let us know about it and to follow our procedure of complaint.
