This Intellectual Property Policy describes how we handle claims of intellectual property infringement on Insimbo's websites, applications
Insimbo respects intellectual property rights and expects its users to do the same. In using the Insimbo Services, users must comply with the Insimbo User Guidelines, as well as all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and respect the intellectual property, privacy, and other rights of third parties.
Copyright is a legal right that seeks to protect original works of authorship (e.g., music, artwork, books). The owner of a copyright has the exclusive right to make certain uses of a creative work including copying, distributing, and displaying that work. Generally, copyright protects original expression; it does not protect facts and ideas. Copyright also generally doesn't protect things such as names, titles and slogans; however, another legal right called a trademark may apply (see below).
There are some exceptions to copyright. For example, in certain countries, a non-rights holder may be allowed to use another's copyright if that use is fair, such as for the purposes of review, critique, or parody.
If you are a copyright holder, or their agent, and you believe that any material available via the Insimbo Services infringes your copyrighted work, please use this web form to submit a notice of alleged copyright infringement. Alternatively, a notice of alleged copyright infringement may be sent to Insimbo's designated copyright agent at the following address, with the following information:
Without the above, we may not have sufficient information to process your claim.
When you submit a copyright claim, Insimbo may pass your name and email address to the allegedly infringing party, and retain your information as long as required for legal purposes. Please note, fraudulent reports or other misuse of this process may result in the termination of your account and/or legal consequences. You may wish to consult an attorney before submitting a claim.
Insimbo also has a policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of repeat infringers.
A trademark is a word, slogan, symbol or design (e.g., brandname, logo) that distinguishes the products or services offered by one person, group, or company from another. Generally, trademark law seeks to prevent confusion among consumers about who provides or is affiliated with a product or service.
If you are a trademark holder, or their agent, and you believe content available on the Insimbo Services infringes your trademark rights, please use this web form to submit a notice of alleged trademark infringement. Insimbo may pass your name and email address to the allegedly infringing party, and retain your information as long as required for legal purposes. Insimbo also has a policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of repeat infringers.
Insimbo reviews claims that are received through the channels identified above. When we receive a claim, we'll evaluate it and take appropriate action, which may include removing the reported content or disabling access in a specific country (or countries). We may communicate with the claimant and the user or creator who provided the content regarding the action(s) we take, if we choose to not take action, or if we need further information to assess the claim.
Any content that infringes on another's copyright or trademark may be removed. Insimbo also has a repeat infringer policy, meaning that a user or creator responsible for multiple violations may have their account terminated. If content is reinstated following an appeal or because a rights holder is retracting a claim, our repeat infringer policy will reflect that accordingly.
If you believe your content or account has been mistakenly actioned, or if you would like to request another review of Insimbo's decision on your claim, you may have an opportunity to submit an appeal. Instructions concerning how to appeal are contained in the email correspondence we will send you regarding the claim.
In addition to reports from users and rights holders, we leverage a combination of automated and manual signals to detect and remove content that may infringe on another's intellectual property. We are continuously evolving our efforts to protect the intellectual property of creators.
