Copyright & Content Complaints
Who owns what here, what you keep when you upload, and how to get infringing material taken down.
Effective
What belongs to the platform
The software, interface design, branding, product architecture and service content that make up LivHub belong to it or to its licensors, protected by intellectual property and unfair competition law. Copying, redistributing, scraping, reverse engineering or otherwise exploiting those assets without authorisation is not permitted.
What stays yours
You keep the rights in content you lawfully create and upload. Putting it here grants the permissions needed to host, display, process, moderate, distribute, store and operate it within the platform and its related services — the licence goes no further than making the product work.
The condition attached is simple and absolute: only upload what you have the right to publish. Content that infringes someone else’s rights can leave you responsible for the resulting claims, losses or enforcement.
Reporting content that infringes your rights
If material on the platform infringes a copyright or trademark you own or represent, write to [email protected] with the subject line beginning "Copyright". Include enough for the claim to be assessed without a second round of questions:
- A description of the work you say has been infringed, and where the original can be seen.
- The exact location of the material on this platform — a URL, or enough detail to find it without guessing.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by you, your agent, or the law.
- Your contact details, and your relationship to the rights holder if you are not the rights holder yourself.
- A statement that the information you have given is accurate.
Deliberately false claims are not harmless. A takedown removes someone else’s content, and in most jurisdictions misrepresenting a claim carries its own liability.
What happens next
Valid complaints lead to the material being removed or access to it disabled. Depending on the severity and on whether it has happened before, the account behind it may be warned, restricted, suspended or terminated.
That ladder is the same one described under enforcement in the terms of service, because a rights complaint is handled as one kind of violation rather than a separate process.
If your content was removed and you think that was wrong
Reply to the notice, or write to [email protected], explaining what was removed, where it was, and why you have the right to publish it. Mistakes happen in both directions and a removal is reversible when the explanation holds up.
This page sits under the intellectual property section of the terms of service, which remains the governing text.
