Intellectual Property Policy and Confidentiality Agreement



  1. Our Intellectual Property



  2. Viewit respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect our users to do the same. Viewit Terms of Service and or Terms and Conditions and Community Guidelines do not allow posting, sharing, or sending any content that violates or infringes another person and or user's copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights.



  3. Copyright



  4. Copyright is a legal right that protects original works of authorship (e.g., music, videos, etc.). Generally, copyright protects an original expression of an idea (e.g., the specific way a video or music is expressed or created) but does not protect underlying ideas or facts.



  5. Copyright Infringement



  6. We do not allow any content that infringes copyright. The use of copyrighted content of others without proper authorization or legally valid reason may lead to a violation of Viewit's policies.

    At the same time, not all unauthorized uses of copyrighted content constitute an infringement. In many countries, exceptions to copyright infringement allow the use of copyrighted works under certain circumstances without authorization. These include the fair use doctrine in the United States and permitted acts of fair dealing in the European Union (and other equivalent exceptions under applicable local laws in other countries).



  7. Removal of Content and or Suspension of Content



  8. Any user content that infringes an other person’s copyright may be removed. The account may be suspended or terminated for multiple copyright violations in connection with the use of the Viewit site or app, or other violations of the Terms of Service and or Terms and Conditions and Community Guidelines. We reserve the right to refuse any account holder whose account was used for improper activities from opening a new account on Viewit’s web app and Service, or otherwise hosted by Viewit.




    Information for Rightsholders:
  9. Copyright Infringement Notification



  10. Contacting the user directly may resolve your complaint more quickly and in a way that is more beneficial to you, the user, and our community. You may contact the user and discuss the matter with them in private of your alleged infringing content from Viewit.



  11. Trademark



  12. A trademark is a word, symbol, slogan, design, or combination of any of the foregoing that identifies the source of a product or service and distinguishes it from other products or services.



  13. Trademark Infringement



  14. Trademark laws prohibit trademark infringement, which is generally the unauthorized use of a trademark or service mark in connection with goods or services in a way that is likely to cause confusion, deception or mistake about the source, origin, sponsorship or affiliation of the associated goods and/or services. At the same time, the use of another’s trademark for purposes of accurately referencing, lawfully commenting, criticizing, parodying, or reviewing the trademark owner’s products or services, or for purposes of comparing them to other products or services, where the mark is not used to designate the user’s own goods or services or those of a third party, is generally not considered a violation of our policies. Likewise, it is generally permissible to make a fan page about a brand, even without the brand’s permission, provided that you do not claim to speak for or be associated with the brand or otherwise violate the brand’s intellectual property rights.



  15. Removal of Content; Suspension or Deletion of Infringing Content



  16. Any content that violate another’s trademark rights may be taken down. Repeat violations of trademark rights in connection with the use of Viewit's web app and Service, or other violations of the Terms of Service and or Terms and Conditions and Community Guidelines may result in the suspension or removal of the user's content. We reserve the right to refuse any account holder whose account was used for improper activities from opening a new account on Viewit’s web app and Service, or otherwise hosted by Viewit.



  17. Trademark Complaint and Notificationn



  18. Contacting the user directly may resolve your complaint more quickly and in a way that is more beneficial to you, the user, and our community.




  19. General Note



  20. As a Viewit user, you are responsible for the content you post. If you have questions about copyright law or trademark law, such as questions about whether your content or your use of another person’s name or brand infringes or otherwise violates another person’s rights, you may want to contact an attorney.
