Copyright Policy

Last updated: May 15, 2024

1. Introduction

At CarouApp, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. This Copyright Policy outlines our approach to copyright protection and the procedures for reporting copyright infringement on our carousel creation platform.

2. Copyright Ownership

When you create content using CarouApp, you retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. However, by uploading content to our platform, you grant us certain rights to use that content as outlined in our Terms of Use.

3. CarouApp Content

CarouApp provides various design elements, templates, and other content that you can use to create your carousel slides. Unless otherwise specified, these elements are either owned by CarouApp, licensed to CarouApp, or are in the public domain. The availability of these elements on our platform does not transfer any ownership rights to you.

License to Use CarouApp Content

Subject to your compliance with our Terms of Use and this Copyright Policy, CarouApp grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use our design elements and templates to create and share your carousel content. This license does not permit you to:

  • Sell, license, or distribute our design elements or templates separately from your carousel content
  • Claim ownership of our design elements or templates
  • Use our design elements or templates in a way that violates any applicable laws or regulations
  • Use our design elements or templates in a way that infringes on the rights of others

4. Copyright Infringement

CarouApp respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable EU law and are properly provided to us.

EU Copyright Framework

As a company based in Estonia (European Union), we operate under the EU legal framework for copyright protection. Under this framework, once properly notified of allegedly infringing material, we will take appropriate action, including the prompt removal or disabling of access to the material claimed to be infringing.

Copyright Infringement Notice Procedure

If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide us with the following information:

  • An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest
  • A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed
  • A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on our platform
  • Your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address
  • A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
  • A statement by you that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf

You can submit your notice to:
CarouApp Legal Department
Email: [email protected]

Counter-Notice Procedure

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice. Your counter-notice must include:

  • Your physical or electronic signature
  • Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in Estonia
  • A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original copyright infringement notice or an agent of such person

You can submit your counter-notice to our designated copyright agent at the address provided above.

5. Repeat Infringers

It is our policy to terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights of others. For users in the EU, this policy implements Article 14 of the E-Commerce Directive requirement concerning the expeditious removal of illegal content once we obtain actual knowledge of an infringement.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Copyright Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this policy periodically for any changes.
