When you use our services and content, you represent yourself, and the person you represent agrees to abide by and be bound by this agreement and all applicable laws.

  1. About Copyright

We allow users to upload content to our platform to create their products for sale, but users must be solely responsible for the materials they upload. PODpartner is not responsible for any damages caused by copyright infringement or the use of restricted images on our products. If a user uploads or uses material that infringes the intellectual property rights of others, once it is discovered or reported, we have the right to delete the material and refuse to produce any products that we believe may infringe the rights of others.

 

  1. Filling a takedown notice

We comply with the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which provides for the removal of copyrighted material. Therefore, if you believe that your design or other intellectual property rights have been illegally copied, you must submit a report called "Deletion Notice" to PODpartner.

Before submitting a takedown notice, please carefully consider whether the fair use principle protects the copyrighted material. If you submit a report without infringement, you may have to bear legal fees and attorney fees. If you are not sure whether someone’s use of your copyrighted material constitutes an infringement, please seek legal advice.

Once you confirm that someone is using your content in a way that violates your rights, please send a removal notice to service@podpartner.com, which includes:

  1. Point to the original content and description of the infringed right, with registration and other documents (if possible);
  2. The description of the infringing content supported by the link or other detailed information about the content available;
  3. Your name, address, and email indicating that you own the content or are authorized to act on behalf of the right holder;
  4. Your statement based on the crime of perjury confirms:
    1. The information is accurate;
    2. You own the copyright or are authorized to act on behalf of the right holder and ensure that the owner has not previously approved the use of the content;
  5. Electronic or physical signature.

 

  1. Rebuttal a takedown notice

If your work has been reported by someone else in the removal notice, but you think it was a mistake (for example, you can prove that you have the right to use the content), you can send an email to service@podpartner.com and include all of the following information to solve the problem:

  1. A description of the deleted content, supported by registration and other documents (if possible);
  2. Your name, address, and email indicating that you own the content or are authorized to act on behalf of the right holder;
  3. Your statement based on the crime of perjury, indicating that you sincerely believe that the content has been deleted or disabled due to errors;
  4. Electronic or physical signature.

Before submitting a counter-notification, please ensure that you sincerely believe that we have mistakenly deleted your content and that you are responsible for the possible consequences of submitting a false statement.

 

Finally, we hope that the content submitted by users of PODpartner respects others and the law, so please carefully check your design and understand the content you want to upload before using the material.
