Copyright & Trademark Takedown Policy

DRAFT — REQUIRES REVIEW BY QUALIFIED COUNSEL IN [JURISDICTION] BEFORE USE. Not legal advice. Not a substitute for a lawyer.

Version: 1.0.0-draft · Status: not in force · Baseline: GDPR-grade

1. Reporting infringing material on VibefyCode

Send to [CONTACT_EMAIL] with the subject IP NOTICE:

  1. Identification of the work or mark you own, and evidence of ownership;
  2. The exact URL of the material you say infringes it;
  3. Your contact details;
  4. A statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised;
  5. A statement, under penalty of perjury where applicable, that the notice is accurate and you are the owner or authorised to act for them;
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

We aim to act on a complete notice within 5 business days: removing or disabling the material, notifying the person who posted it, and giving them a copy of the notice.

2. Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake, send a counter-notice with: identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your contact details; consent to jurisdiction; and your signature. We will forward it, and may restore the material after 10 business days unless the complainant tells us they have filed proceedings.

3. Repeat infringers

Accounts that are the subject of repeated valid notices are terminated.

4. Misuse of the VibefyCode mark

This is the reverse case: someone displaying "Verified by VibefyCode" without a current licence. Report it to [CONTACT_EMAIL] with the URL. We verify against our badge register — which is authoritative, because we serve every legitimate badge ourselves — and where the display is unlicensed we will contact the operator, publish the revocation where one applies, and pursue takedown with hosts, registrars and app stores.

5. What we will not do

We will not remove a truthful assessment finding because someone dislikes it. An IP notice is not a route around the Appeals & Corrections Policy, and we will say so.
