How to appeal a photo rejection

Yesterday I had an image rejected for what I consider to be a spurious reason: "During our review, we found that it contains elements that appear to be protected by intellectual property (IP) laws, so we can't accept it into our collection. Elements protected by IP may appear in the image or in the description, title, and/or keywords." The image is File ID: 366979325

It shows a stairwell which is public access, part of normal pedestrian areas of Lisbon, with no graffiti, posters, etc.. Is it possible to appeal rejections (as it is in most stock sites)? If so, I can't find how, and would appreciate appropriate directions!

I had the same issue, and the picture is about Tuscan hills, and unless someone trademarked these...

Beautiful Tuscany countryside landscape, scenic sunset over a field of sunflowers with warm and relaxing colours of the Italian summer.

And they are already selling it on other stock libraries. There are some houses, but it would be impossible to clear-determine IP on them, in my opinion. What do you guys think?
