A: There are several steps that Egeez takes to verify Licensees/vendors as part of our blue promise for safe online shopping on Egeez App for licensed products:
Did you know?
Egeez provides more trust, transparency, and authenticity to stop bad actors and counterfeits, which hurt the consumers duped for buying unoriginal brands for the value of their money. Egeez makes the consumer’s purchase decision easier, faster and cancels any doubts.
1. Egeez validates seller information by gathering and collecting official licensing agreements, letters of authorization from licensors, seller’s contact details, licensor’s contact details, and other necessary information and research.
Egeez goes beyond checking if the vendor just has the studio logo (Disney
), a code, or trademark on its packaging.
2. Egeez puts in place proactive methods to check whether the licensed products are being sold on their sites and available on their social media to further verify the legitimacy of their licensing.
Egeez uses proactive filtering tools and curation capabilities to screen products (yes, one by one) in order to stop fake licensed goods from being sold on the app.
4. Egeez checks to see if the licensee is a client of a reputable licensing agent or a member of any industry associations such as Licensing International, Toy Association, or has any certifications or accreditations. Moreover, Egeez may contact the licensor directly if any further clarifications are required.
Egeez conducts thorough verification to the best of its knowledge, which may include confirming licensee status with the licensor or leveraging our established relationships to ensure authenticity.
5. All licensees selling on Egeez are 100% official and receive a Blue Tick! Nevertheless, licensees are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with copyright and trademark laws upon listing their products on Egeez. To maintain the integrity of our platform and support our valued stakeholders—licensees, licensors, and fans—Egeez offers a multi-tier verification process.
While we require licensees to upload some form of licensing documents on the eLicensee portal, it is optional to submit a licensing agreement, as some licensees feel uncomfortable sharing data. However, for an added layer of trust and security, there is the Gold Verification status granted when licensees upload and share their licensing agreements, achieving special perks to encourage further compliance and stronger measures.
Overall, all licensees selling on Egeez are 100% official and receive a Blue Tick.
