Change Summary
Checkout.com revised its infringement reporting policy to clarify the process for intellectual property rights owners reporting alleged infringement on websites using their services. The updated terms now require reporters to first attempt direct resolution with the business, provide specific evidence that the website uses Checkout.com's services, and include detailed information about the alleged infringement and infringing material. The revised language also establishes that Checkout.com, as a payment service provider, does not host third-party websites and limits its actions to suspension or termination of services with the business, and does not guarantee a specific response timeline or public disclosure of investigation results.
