Report a listing

Use this page to report a listing that is malicious, infringing, fraudulent, or subject to legal demand. Not every complaint results in takedown — see Policy for the full criteria.

Valid grounds for takedown

• Malicious code. The listed implementation contains malware, backdoors, or code designed to harm users or systems.
• Intellectual property infringement. The listing infringes your trademark, copyright, or other IP. Include a specific claim consistent with the applicable law (e.g., DMCA notice for US copyright).
• Legal demand. Court order, regulator action, or other binding legal process in a jurisdiction where Vorion operates.
• Fraudulent conformance claim. The listing claims conformance to factors it demonstrably does not implement. Evidence required.

Not valid grounds

• Low quality, minor bugs, unpopular design choices.
• Disagreement with the publisher's technical choices.
• Competitor complaints about legitimate BASIS-conformant submissions.
• Preferences about what the publisher should or should not list.

How to report

Email basis-takedown@vorion.org with:

• The URL of the listing in the directory.
• Which category above applies (malicious code / IP / legal / fraudulent claim).
• Evidence supporting the complaint.
• Your contact information. Anonymous complaints are accepted but may slow review.
• For IP claims: a statement under penalty of perjury (for DMCA notices, see standard form).

What happens next

1. Acknowledgment within 24 hours (auto-reply).
2. Review within 5 business days.
3. Decision published. If takedown is warranted, the listing is moved to FORMERLY_LISTED status with the category and date visible. The original entry is never silently deleted.
4. Publisher notice. The affected publisher receives notice of the takedown and the category, via the DNS-verified contact on file.
