Infringement Policy

Watch Store India is committed to removing infringing products from its platform. To facilitate this, Watch Store India has put in place an Infringement Verification process so that intellectual property owners can easily report listings that infringe their rights. It is in Watch Store India’s interest to ensure that infringing products are removed from its platform, as they erode Buyer and Seller trust.
