Intellectual Property, DMCA & Automated Access Notice
PRIME 151 COLLECTIBLES
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, DMCA AND AUTOMATED ACCESS NOTICE
Effective Date: August 11, 2026 Version: 1.0
Your Treasures, Our Mission.
This Notice is incorporated into and governed by our Terms of Service, and expands on Sections 21 through 25 of those Terms.
PART ONE — WHAT WE OWN
SECTION 1 — OUR CONTENT
All of the following is owned by Prime 151 Collectibles or its licensors and protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and trade dress law:
- Our original product photography, including every image we shoot of our own inventory, our lighting and staging, and our editing
- Our listing copy, product descriptions, condition notes, and grading commentary
- Our video and live broadcast recordings
- Our brand assets: logos, wordmarks, icons, color system, typography treatment, packaging, packing slips, and inserts
- Our lore and world building copy, including the Vault narrative and its associated language
- Our site design, page layout, navigation structure, collection architecture, and user interface
- The compilation, selection, arrangement, and organization of our catalog, which is itself protected as a compilation
SECTION 2 — OUR TRADEMARKS
The following are trademarks and trade dress of Prime 151 Collectibles, whether registered or unregistered:
Prime 151 Collectibles · Prime 151 · Prime Collectibles · PrimeVaultTCG · The Vault · Vault Keeper · Vault Hub · "Your Treasures, Our Mission"
together with our logos, badges, and brand devices.
Nothing on this site grants you any license to use them. You may not use our marks in a business name, domain name, social handle, advertising, paid search keyword, product listing, metadata, or in any way likely to cause confusion about affiliation or endorsement.
SECTION 3 — WHAT YOU MAY NOT DO WITH OUR CONTENT
Without our prior written permission, you may not:
- Copy, download, republish, or redistribute our product photography, anywhere, including on eBay, TCGplayer, Whatnot, Facebook Marketplace, Mercari, Amazon, or any other marketplace
- Copy our listing text or descriptions into your own listings
- Scrape, crawl, harvest, index, or extract our catalog, pricing, inventory data, or images by any automated or manual means
- Use our content, images, or data to train, fine tune, ground, or evaluate any machine learning model, dataset, or generative system
- Frame, mirror, hotlink, or embed our media on another site
- Remove or alter any copyright notice, watermark, or metadata
- Use our marks or content in advertising, keyword bidding, SEO metadata, or comparative marketing
Our photography is not stock imagery. We shoot our own inventory at our own expense, in our own studio setup, to represent the specific items we sell. Copying it into a competing listing is copyright infringement.
SECTION 4 — HOW WE ENFORCE
We monitor for unauthorized use of our imagery and content, and we act on it. Depending on the situation we will:
- Send a written demand to remove the content
- File a DMCA takedown notice with the hosting platform or marketplace, which typically results in listing removal and a strike against the seller's account
- Report trademark misuse to the platform's brand protection program
- Pursue civil claims, including for statutory damages under 17 U.S.C. § 504 where the work is registered, and for costs and attorneys' fees where available
- Refer unauthorized automated access for action under the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and applicable state computer crime law
If you have used our imagery and want to resolve it quickly, email contact@prime151.com. Removing it promptly is almost always the end of the matter.
PART TWO — RESPECTING OTHERS

SECTION 8 — HOW TO FILE A NOTICE
A valid notice must be in writing and must include all of the following:

- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it, including the URL

- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf
Incomplete notices may not be actionable. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
SECTION 9 — WHAT WE DO WITH A NOTICE
On receipt of a valid notice we will remove or disable access to the material expeditiously and notify the party who posted it, where applicable.

- Your physical or electronic signature
- Identification of the material removed and the location where it appeared before removal
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification
- Your name, address, and telephone number
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, or, if outside the United States, to any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice
We may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after receiving a valid counter notice, unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed an action seeking a court order.
SECTION 11 — REPEAT INFRINGERS
We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
PART FOUR — AUTOMATED ACCESS
SECTION 12 — BOTS, SCRAPERS AND AUTOMATED PURCHASING
12.1 Automated access to our site is prohibited except by search engine crawlers operating in compliance with our robots.txt.
12.2 Specifically prohibited: bots, spiders, scrapers, crawlers, headless browsers, checkout automation, sniping tools, inventory monitors, price monitors, and any script that accesses the site at a rate or in a pattern a human would not.
12.3 Prohibited regardless of method: extracting our catalog, pricing, inventory, or images for a competing service, a price aggregator, a dataset, or a machine learning corpus.
12.4 We do not consent to the use of any content on this site for artificial intelligence training, fine tuning, grounding, retrieval augmentation, or dataset construction. This applies whether or not a crawler respects robots.txt directives, and is stated here as an express reservation of rights.
12.5 We may rate limit, block, challenge, or ban any client that violates this Section, and may cancel any order placed with automation.
12.6 Circumventing purchase limits or allocation controls through automation is abuse under Section 20 of the Terms of Service and results in order cancellation and account termination.
SECTION 13 — SECURITY RESEARCH
If you discover a security vulnerability, report it responsibly to contact@prime151.com with the subject line "Security." Do not access, modify, or exfiltrate data belonging to anyone else, and do not publicly disclose before we have had a reasonable opportunity to fix it. We will not pursue action against good faith research that follows those limits.
