Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why was my listing ended?
A: Most likely, your listing was removed because it may have displayed unauthorized use ofUGG Australia’s trademark(s) and/or reproductions of UGG Australia’s copyrighted images,
or because it offered for sale counterfeit merchandise featuring one of UGG Australia’strademarks. Decisions regarding the authenticity of an item are based upon the photographand the description of the goods, as well as other less tangible aspects of the listing.
Because we cannot physically see a product posted over the Internet, the information at ourdisposal as to the counterfeit nature of the item is limited. UGG Australia regularly monitors
the Internet, including eBay, to protect its intellectual property rights. UGG Australia uses
eBay’s VeRO program to notify eBay of listings containing unauthorized uses of UGGAustralia’s copyrights and trademarks, or of listings reasonably believed to offer counterfeit
merchandise. eBay, in turn, will take necessary action to comply with the law, which may
include removing the listing.
Q: Why did eBay allow me to post my listing if it violates intellectual property laws?
A: The law dictates that an intellectual property rights owner, such as UGG Australia, isresponsible for enforcing against infringements of those rights. A platform, such as eBay, is
not in a position to make a determination as to whether an item infringes the intellectual
property rights of a third party, such as those rights held by UGG Australia.
Q: I obtained an image of UGG Australia merchandise from the UGG website (orcatalog) and pasted the image onto my eBay listing. Is this permissible?
A: No. Any unauthorized reproduction, display or distribution of UGG Australia’s copyrighted
images is against the law.
Q: Can I use UGG Australia’s logo or other logos or properties owned by UGGAustralia to make my listing more appealing?
A: Unfortunately, this is not permissible. Use of these logos wrongfully implies that yourlisting is authorized, sponsored, or approved by UGG Australia, and dilutes the value ofthese logos in violation of state and federal trademark laws.
Q: What if I did not realize that I was infringing UGG Australia’s intellectual propertyrights?
A: Unfortunately, whether or not you knew your listing violated UGG Australia’s intellectual
property rights does not matter. You have a responsibility to ensure that your actions do not
violate someone else’s intellectual property rights. Before listing items for sale on eBay, you
should take affirmative steps to ensure this.
Q: Why was my listing singled out when there are other listings on eBay that may
infringe UGG Australia’s intellectual property rights?
A: UGG Australia works diligently to ensure that as many listings as possible are removed
that violate UGG Australia’s intellectual property rights. Given the high volume of
merchandise for sale on eBay, however, it is at times difficult to identify and remove all suchlistings.
Q: Why didn't UGG Australia contact me directly before reporting my listing to eBay?

A: It is not practical to contact each and every seller given the volume of eBay listings.
Q: Why does UGG Australia care if I sell a single piece of unauthorized UGG Australia
merchandise?
A: Consumers expect a high level of quality from goods marked with the UGG trademark.
Listings making unauthorized use of the UGG mark or UGG Australia images risk confusing
or deceiving consumers and diminishing the value of the UGG trademark. For thesereasons we attempt to stop as many infringing listings as possible.
Q: What if I decide to re-post a listing once it has been ended? UGG Australia will
never know...
A: If you decide to re-post an infringing listing after UGG Australia has provided notice toeBay that the listing infringes the UGG Australia’s intellectual property rights, be warned
that you are likely to subject yourself to civil and/or criminal liability
Q: Can I list an item if I expressly say that it is NOT GENUINE?
A: NO! A disclaimer regarding the authenticity of goods, such as "faux", "fake", "knockoff","UGG-like", "UGG style", "UGG?", “cannot guarantee authenticity".
Q: Why can't I use the word "UGG" in my listing title even though I am not selling an
item made by UGG AUSTRALIA?
A: It is misleading and impermissible to use the word "UGG" when there is no legitimateconnection between the goods sold and the use of our trademark.
Q: Can I use UGG Australia’s logo or other logos or properties owned by UGGAustralia, to create homemade products of any kind, such as clothing apparel?
A: No. Only UGG Australia and its licensees may use UGG Australia trademarks andcopyrighted material in connection with the manufacture, offer for sale, and/or sale of goods
or services.
Q: If I purchased a genuine UGG Australia product, can I re-sell it on eBay?
A: Yes. It is legal to re-sell a genuine item that you purchased. Also, you may of course
describe the item using the UGG trademark. Please note, however, that you cannot use
UGG Australia’s copyrighted photographs to promote the sale of the item. You should
instead use an actual photo of the goods being sold. Similarly, you cannot use UGGAustralia’s logos to make your listing more appealing.
Q: How can I tell if an UGG® product offered on eBay is genuine?
A: Unfortunately, many counterfeit UGG® items are difficult to detect by the untrained eye.
Here are some tips to detect counterfeits: “Deckers Outdoor Corporation is aware of counterfeit issues with some UGG brandgoods being sold by sellers in China or Hong Kong to buyers outside of thosecountries. Please be careful in purchasing UGG brand goods from sellers in China orHong Kong.” There are several Australian brands of sheepskin boots that can be found on eBay inthe U.S.A., U.K., Europe, and Asia that are wrongly marketed using the UGG
trademark. Australian brands such as “Jumbo Ugg,” “Uggs-N-Rugs,” “EMU UGG”
and others are not genuine UGG Australia brand.

Genuine UGG® goods are made of superior materials and are crafted with the bestin workmanship. Defects such as sloppy stitching, un-even cut marks and misappliedlabels may indicate a counterfeit. The only way you can be certain that you arepurchasing a genuine UGG brand product is to purchase from our uggaustralia.com
website or one of the specially selected high-quality retailers authorized to sell theseitems, such as Nordstroms. Please see our Ensure Authenticity section ofuggaustralia.com website.
