What is a ‘dispute’?
A ‘Dispute’ can be defined as a disagreement between a Buyer and a Seller in connection with a transaction on the Website.
How does a ‘dispute’ occur in the Marketplace?
Disputes are filed as a result of a disagreement between the Buyer and the Seller. Disputes arise out of an issue that is raised by either party not being completely satisfied with the resolution of their complaint/issue.
It is important that before a Buyer/Seller raises a dispute, they should attempt to solve the issue. Please note that whenever a Buyer raises a dispute, the Seller’s payment for that order is put on hold immediately until the issue is resolved.
How is a ‘dispute’ created?
Whenever there is a disagreement, the Buyer can write to dispute@INBA.com, while the Seller can write to ss@INBA.com, in order to raise a dispute. Disputes can be raised at a particular transaction level.

Following are the indicative examples of potential disputes:
1. Wrong item received
2. Item Not as described

- Part/Accessory missing
- Item not Compatible
- Seller Description/Specification Wrong

If the dispute is resolved in favour of the Buyer, a refund is provided once the product is returned to the Seller. If the dispute is settled in favour of theSeller, Buyer is entitled to any refund.

INBA Infringement Verification (FIV) – Reporting Listing Violations
INBA has put in place INBA Infringement Verification process so that intellectual property owners could easily report listings that infringe their rights. It is in INBA’s interest to ensure that infringing products are removed from the site, as they erode Buyer and good Seller trust.
- If you are a Verified Rights Owner and want to report a listing issue, see INBA’s FIV. Note: Only the intellectual property rights owner can report potentiallyinfringing products or listings through FIV. If you are not the intellectual property rights owner, you can still help by getting in touch with the rights owner and encouraging them to contact us.
- If your listing was removed through FIV, and you believe that your listing was removed in error, please contact us.
INBA does not and cannot verify that Sellers have the right or ability to sell or distribute their listed products. However, INBA is committed to removinginfringing or unlicensed products once an authorized representative of the rights owner properly reports them to INBA.
FIV works to ensure that item listings do not infringe upon the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of third parties. FIV participants have the ability to identify and request removal of allegedly infringing products and materials.
Any person or company who holds intellectual property rights (such as a copyright, trademark or patent) which may be infringed upon by products listed on INBA is encouraged to become a FIV member.

- Rapid response by INBA in ending listings reported by you (as the Verified Rights Owner) as allegedly infringing
