Copyright Policy
Effective Date: 5th August, 2022
This Copyright Policy explains how Dropiry (“we,” “our,” or “us”) handles copyright concerns on our platform. We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect all users, including sellers and buyers, to do the same. This policy outlines the procedures for reporting alleged copyright infringements and our response to such claims.
1. Overview
- We are committed to protecting copyright owners’ rights and maintaining an online environment that fosters creativity and the sale of digital products.
- Users must ensure that all content, including digital products uploaded to our platform, complies with copyright laws and does not infringe on the rights of third parties.
- This policy applies to all users of the platform, including both sellers and buyers.
2. What Is Copyright?
- Copyright refers to the legal right of creators to control the use, reproduction, and distribution of their original works, including but not limited to e-books, templates, guides, planners, printables, themes, and other digital products.
- Copyright protection is automatically
granted to original works once they are created and fixed in a tangible form. This
protection gives the creator the exclusive right to:
- Reproduce the work
- Distribute copies of the work
- Display or perform the work publicly
- Create derivative works based on the original
- It is illegal to use, reproduce, or distribute copyrighted materials without permission from the copyright holder./li>
3. Seller Responsibilities
Sellers on our platform must comply with the following guidelines to avoid copyright infringement:
- Originality: You must only upload and sell digital products that you own or have legal rights to sell. Ensure that the products are your original creations or that you have obtained the necessary permissions from the copyright holder.
- Respect for Third-Party Rights: Do not upload or sell digital products that incorporate copyrighted materials owned by third parties (e.g., images, fonts, music, or templates) unless you have obtained explicit permission from the copyright owner.
- Licensing Information: If you are selling products that are licensed (such as MRR – Master Resell Rights or PLR – Private Label Rights products), you must provide accurate licensing information and abide by the terms of the license.
- No Infringement: You must not copy, reproduce, distribute, or sell products that infringe on someone else’s intellectual property rights, including trademarks, patents, or copyrights.
4. Buyer Responsibilities
Buyers must also adhere to copyright laws when purchasing and using digital products on our platform:
- Authorized Use: When you purchase a digital product, you are only granted a license to use the product as outlined by the seller. This does not give you ownership of the copyright.
- No Redistribution: You may not reproduce, redistribute, resell, or otherwise share the purchased digital products without permission from the copyright holder or seller.
- Personal and Commercial Use: Respect the usage terms specified by the seller (e.g., whether the product can be used for personal or commercial purposes). Unauthorized use beyond the license terms is considered copyright infringement.
5. Reporting Copyright Infringement (DMCA Notice)
We take copyright infringement claims seriously. If you believe that content or digital products on our platform violate your copyright, you may submit a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notice to request the removal of the infringing content.
5.1. How to Submit a DMCA Notice
To file a valid DMCA notice, you must provide the following information in writing:
- Your Contact Information: Include your full name, address, phone number, and email address.
- Identification of the Copyrighted Work: Clearly identify the copyrighted work(s) that you believe have been infringed (e.g., a link to your original work or a detailed description).
- Infringing Content: Identify the specific content on our platform that you believe infringes your copyright, including URLs or other relevant information to locate the content.
- Good Faith Statement: Include a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in question is not authorized by the copyright owner, their agent, or the law.
- Accuracy Statement: Include a statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.
Please send your DMCA notice to:
- Email: info@dropiry.com
- Mail: BNP Paribas Cyprus Ltd. 26, Vyronos Street. 3105. Limassol. LB. CY120009. 319, 28 Oktovriou Street.
5.2. What Happens After Filing a DMCA Notice?
- Review and Investigation: Upon receiving a DMCA notice, we will review and investigate the claim. If the notice is complete and valid, we may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content.
- Notification to the User: We will notify the user (seller or buyer) who uploaded or shared the content in question and provide them with a copy of the DMCA notice.
- Repeat Infringers: Accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers may be terminated at our discretion. A "repeat infringer" is a user who has been the subject of multiple valid DMCA notices.
6. Counter-Notification
If you believe that content you posted was mistakenly removed or disabled due to a DMCA notice, you have the right to file a counter-notification. A valid counter-notification must include:
- Your Contact Information: Include your full name, address, phone number, and email address.
- Identification of the Removed Content: Identify the content that was removed or disabled and where it appeared before it was removed.
- Good Faith Statement: Include a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Consent to Jurisdiction: You must agree to the jurisdiction of the federal district court where your address is located (or, if you reside outside the U.S., to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which we may be found) and agree to accept service of process from the person who filed the DMCA notice.
- Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.
Send your counter-notification to the same contact details as provided for DMCA notices.
7. What Happens After Filing a Counter-Notification?
- Review and Reinstatement: Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will review the claim and forward it to the person who filed the original DMCA notice. If the original claimant does not file a lawsuit within 10-14 business days, we may reinstate the removed content.
- No Liability: We are not liable for any damages resulting from the removal or reinstatement of content based on DMCA notices and counter-notifications. The responsibility for any such disputes lies solely with the involved parties.
8. Repeat Infringers
We reserve the right to terminate the accounts of users who are found to repeatedly infringe on copyright laws. A repeat infringer is a user who has been subject to multiple valid DMCA notices or similar claims of copyright infringement.
- Three Strikes Rule: Any user who receives three or more valid copyright infringement claims will have their account suspended or terminated, depending on the severity of the infringements.
9. License to Use Content
By uploading digital products to our platform, sellers grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, distribute, and display their digital products for the purposes of promoting and operating the platform.
- Promotional Use: We may use your content in marketing materials or promotional campaigns without additional compensation. You retain full ownership of your digital products and may revoke this license by removing your content from the platform.
- No Liability: We are not responsible for any unauthorized use of your content by third parties, such as buyers who may violate the terms of their license.
10. Copyright Infringement Penalties
Engaging in copyright infringement on our platform has serious consequences. These may include:
- Account Suspension or Termination: Users found to be in violation of copyright laws may have their accounts suspended or permanently terminated.
- Legal Action: Infringing on the intellectual property rights of others may result in legal action, including financial penalties and injunctions against further infringing activities.
11. Third-Party Copyrights
We respect third-party copyright holders and their intellectual property rights. If you believe that a user is infringing on a third-party copyright, it is your responsibility to notify us through the appropriate channels.
- Copyright Claims by Third Parties: We will investigate and respond to valid copyright claims filed by third-party copyright holders and follow the process outlined in this policy for handling such claims.
- Partnerships: We may collaborate with third-party rights holders to prevent copyright infringement and remove unauthorized content from our platform.
