This Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy (“IP Policy”) explains the rules and procedures applying to intellectual property content available through Univerax.com and its related marketplace services (the “Platform”).
The Platform is operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] (“Univerax,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
This IP Policy applies together with:
The Terms of Use;
The Seller, Author and Service Provider Terms;
The Digital Product License Terms;
The Privacy Policy;
Applicable listing and transaction terms; and
Mandatory law.
Users must respect copyright, trademark, design, patent, database, trade-secret, publicity, and other intellectual property or related rights.
Users must not upload, publish, sell, license, distribute, or use content unless they:
Own the necessary rights;
Have valid authorization from the rights holder;
Use the content under a valid license;
Are permitted under applicable law; or
Have another lawful basis for the use.
The fact that content is available online does not mean it is free to copy, sell, license, or redistribute.
The Platform may contain content submitted by independent Authors, Sellers, Service Providers, Buyers, or other users.
Unless expressly stated otherwise:
The relevant user is responsible for submitted content;
Univerax does not claim ownership of that user’s original content;
Publication does not constitute Univerax’s endorsement;
Platform review does not guarantee legal clearance; and
Rights remain with the applicable owner or licensor.
Univerax may review, restrict, or remove content where reasonably necessary to protect rights, users, or the Platform.
A user listing a Digital Product represents that:
They own or control the necessary rights;
They have authority to grant the advertised License;
Required permissions have been obtained;
Third-party components are lawfully used;
Required attribution and notices are included;
The listing does not misrepresent authorship;
The product is not copied, stolen, or pirated; and
The product does not unlawfully disclose confidential material.
Authors must retain evidence supporting their ownership or authorization.
A Service Provider must ensure that:
Deliverables do not infringe third-party rights;
Client-supplied materials are used only as authorized;
Employees and subcontractors have assigned or licensed necessary rights;
Stock, font, music, software, model, and other third-party licenses are respected;
Ownership or licensing of deliverables is accurately described; and
Confidential materials are not reused or published without authorization.
Payment for a service does not automatically transfer all intellectual property rights unless the transaction terms or applicable law provide for that transfer.
Purchasing or downloading a Digital Product generally grants a limited License rather than ownership of the underlying intellectual property.
The applicable Digital Product License Terms and selected License determine:
Permitted use;
Project or client scope;
Modification rights;
Commercial use;
Redistribution restrictions;
Attribution;
Support and updates; and
Other usage limits.
A Buyer must not redistribute or resell source files unless expressly permitted.
Users must not:
Upload pirated or stolen products;
Copy another seller’s listing or files;
Remove copyright or attribution notices without authorization;
Sell content obtained under a non-commercial or personal-use license;
Present public-domain or open-source material as exclusively owned;
Violate open-source license obligations;
Use another party’s trademark in a misleading way;
Sell unauthorized replicas or counterfeit digital assets;
Submit fraudulent ownership documents;
File knowingly false infringement reports;
Use takedown procedures to suppress lawful competition;
Re-upload removed infringing content; or
Circumvent a rights-related restriction.
Products containing open-source or third-party components must comply with the relevant licenses.
Authors must provide any required:
Copyright notices;
License texts;
Source-code offers;
Attribution;
Modification notices; and
Disclosure of third-party components.
These Platform terms do not remove rights granted directly under an applicable open-source license or impose restrictions prohibited by that license.
Content created or modified using artificial intelligence remains subject to applicable intellectual property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, and consumer-protection rules.
A user must not assume that AI-generated content is automatically:
Copyright-free;
Non-infringing;
Exclusive;
Eligible for trademark protection;
Suitable for commercial licensing; or
Free from third-party data restrictions.
Authors and Providers remain responsible for having sufficient rights to publish, license, or deliver AI-assisted content.
Where required, material use of AI should be disclosed in the listing or service terms.
A rights holder or authorized representative may submit an intellectual property complaint through:
IP Complaint Form: [IP COMPLAINT FORM URL]
IP Notices Email: [IP NOTICES EMAIL]
Postal Address: [IP NOTICE POSTAL ADDRESS]
The complaint should identify:
The complainant;
The rights holder, if different;
The authority of any representative;
The protected work, trademark, or other right;
Registration information, where applicable;
The allegedly infringing content;
The exact Platform URL or listing identifier;
The legal and factual basis of the complaint;
Contact information;
A statement that the information is accurate;
A statement of good-faith belief; and
A signature or legally acceptable electronic equivalent.
Different information may be required according to applicable law and the type of right asserted.
Depending on the complaint, Univerax may request:
Copyright registration;
Trademark registration;
Original source files;
Publication history;
License agreements;
Assignment documents;
Employment or contractor agreements;
Screenshots;
Transaction records;
Product metadata;
Proof of identity or authority; or
Other relevant evidence.
Only information reasonably necessary to evaluate the complaint should be requested.
Sensitive or confidential evidence should be submitted through the designated secure process where available.
If a complaint lacks necessary information, Univerax may request clarification before taking final action.
A complaint may not be actionable where:
The content cannot be identified;
The complainant does not identify the asserted right;
Authority to act is unclear;
The complaint concerns a contractual dispute rather than infringement;
The report is obviously abusive; or
Applicable legal requirements are not satisfied.
Univerax may still take temporary action where the content creates a credible and urgent risk.
After receiving a sufficiently detailed complaint, Univerax may:
Review the identified content;
Request additional information;
Temporarily restrict the listing;
Disable downloads;
Preserve relevant records;
Notify the affected user;
Forward relevant allegations;
Request a response;
Remove or disable access;
Restore the content;
Restrict an account; or
Take another proportionate action.
The appropriate response depends on the evidence, applicable law, urgency, and potential harm.
Univerax’s internal action does not constitute a court judgment concerning ownership or infringement.
Where appropriate and legally permitted, Univerax may notify the user whose content is affected.
The notice may include:
Content or listing concerned;
General basis of the complaint;
Action taken;
Information required to respond;
Response deadline;
Available appeal or counter-notice process; and
Possible consequences of repeat violations.
Information may be withheld where disclosure is prohibited or would create a material security, privacy, or legal risk.
A user who believes that content was removed or restricted by mistake may submit a response through:
Counter-Notice Form: [COUNTER-NOTICE FORM URL]
IP Notices Email: [IP NOTICES EMAIL]
The response should include:
User identity and contact information;
Affected listing or content;
Basis for the user’s rights;
Supporting licenses or ownership evidence;
Explanation of the alleged mistake;
Any statement required by applicable law; and
A signature or acceptable electronic equivalent.
A counter-notice should not contain false information or fabricated documents.
Univerax may restore content where:
The complainant withdraws the complaint;
The affected user provides sufficient evidence;
The complaint is found to be mistaken or abusive;
A competent authority requires restoration;
The relevant statutory procedure supports restoration; or
Another lawful basis exists.
Restoration is not guaranteed merely because a response was submitted.
Univerax may keep content restricted while a genuine ownership dispute remains unresolved and may direct the parties to an appropriate legal process.
Univerax may restrict or terminate users who repeatedly or seriously infringe intellectual property rights.
In determining an appropriate action, Univerax may consider:
Number of substantiated complaints;
Severity;
Intent;
Re-uploading after removal;
Evidence of authorization;
False or abusive complaints;
Corrective action;
Account history; and
Applicable law.
A repeated-infringer process should not treat every unproven allegation as a confirmed violation.
A person must not knowingly submit:
A false infringement claim;
A claim for content they do not control;
Fabricated registration information;
Altered evidence;
A complaint intended to harass;
A complaint intended to suppress lawful competition; or
Repeated duplicate complaints without new information.
Abusive complaints may result in rejection, account restrictions, recovery of legally available costs, or referral to competent authorities.
Good-faith complaints will not be penalized merely because infringement is not ultimately established.
Where a Digital Product may contain malware, stolen credentials, unauthorized surveillance, or other immediate security risks, Univerax may restrict the product before completing the ordinary notice process.
Security action may include:
Disabling downloads;
Suspending sales;
Notifying affected users;
Preserving evidence;
Coordinating refunds;
Reporting to a payment provider; or
Contacting competent authorities where legally appropriate.
Removal of a listing may affect:
Future sales;
Download access;
Updates;
Support;
Licenses;
Provider earnings;
Refunds; and
Pending payouts.
The appropriate treatment depends on:
Whether the complaint is substantiated;
Whether the Buyer received lawful rights;
Whether continued access creates infringement or security risk;
Transaction terms;
Mandatory consumer law; and
Instructions from a competent authority.
A Buyer may be entitled to a refund or another remedy where a purchased product was not lawfully licensed or cannot be supplied.
Removal from future sale does not automatically determine whether a previously granted License remains valid.
Relevant considerations may include:
Whether the Author had licensing authority;
Whether the License was lawfully granted;
The nature of the infringement;
A court or authority decision;
The settlement between rights holders; and
Mandatory law.
Univerax may disable access where continued distribution would be unlawful or unsafe.
Users must not upload or disclose:
Confidential client materials;
Employer-owned source code;
Unreleased products;
Private databases;
Trade secrets;
Materials subject to nondisclosure agreements; or
Information obtained through unauthorized access.
A report concerning confidential information should identify the information, the duty of confidentiality, and the basis for requesting restriction.
Univerax may require additional verification because confidentiality claims can be difficult to assess without context.
A trademark complaint should identify:
Trademark owner;
Mark;
Registration number and jurisdiction, where registered;
Goods or services covered;
Allegedly infringing use;
Relevant listing or profile;
Likelihood of confusion or other legal basis; and
Complainant’s authority.
Nominative, descriptive, comparative, or other legally permitted use may not constitute infringement.
Complaint and response information may be shared with:
The affected user;
The complainant;
Legal advisers;
Service providers supporting the review;
Courts;
Regulators; or
Competent authorities.
Only information reasonably necessary for the process should be disclosed.
Personal data is otherwise handled according to the Privacy Policy and applicable privacy notices.
Court orders, regulatory requests, subpoenas, and similar legal documents should be sent to:
Legal Notices Email: [LEGAL NOTICES EMAIL]
Legal Notices Address: [LEGAL NOTICES POSTAL ADDRESS]
Univerax may verify the authority, scope, jurisdiction, and validity of a request before responding.
Nothing in this Policy requires disclosure prohibited by applicable law.
Univerax cannot provide legal advice or determine private ownership disputes with the authority of a court.
Parties should obtain independent legal advice where ownership, licensing, fair use, quotation, parody, open-source compliance, trademark use, or another legal question is disputed.
Univerax may update this IP Policy to reflect legal, procedural, security, or Platform changes.
The updated version will state its effective date.
Material procedural changes may be announced through the Platform where appropriate.
