# How product claiming works

How Liners checks a product relationship before granting listing access.

## Breadcrumbs

## Summary

How Liners checks a product relationship before granting listing access.

## Content

## Who can claim a product

You may claim a product when:

- The product is active and public on Liners.
- No current owner already controls it.
- You have authority to represent the product.

Liners may check that relationship through a matching work email or another approved product contact route.

## Claim review

Liners checks the claim before granting access. We do not publish every evidence check or fallback because that could help someone claim a product they do not represent.

If Liners cannot confirm the relationship, the claim does not grant business access.

## What an approved claim does

An approved claim:

- Adds the claimant as a product business member.
- Gives access to the product's business dashboard.
- Lets the owner propose listing changes and reply to reviews.
- Marks the product as verified.

Listing changes remain proposals until Liners reviews them.

The [guidelines for product owners](/trust/product-owner-guidelines) apply to claims, edits, review requests, and public replies.

## Claims and product submissions

Anyone with an account can submit a missing product. A product submission does not prove ownership.

A work-domain match may associate a submitter with the product without granting verified status. The full claim process remains the route to verified owner access.

Read [how product submissions are reviewed](/trust/how-product-submissions-work) for the separate submission flow.

## Verified status

Verified status means Liners checked the product listing or relationship to a reasonable extent. It is not an endorsement or product test.

Read [what verified product status means](/trust/how-verification-works) before using the badge in public claims.

## Claim problems

Liners may remove access if a claim was false, the person's authority ended, or the claim no longer appears valid.

Contact hello@liners.com if a product has the wrong owner or if a former staff member still appears to have access. Do not send passwords or private customer data.
