At Vccpanda, we respect the intellectual property (IP) rights of creators and users alike. This Intellectual Property Policy explains how we protect the IP rights of our users and the steps to take if you believe your IP rights have been infringed upon within the Vccpanda platform.
1. Ownership of Content
Freelancers and buyers retain ownership of the content they create or upload to the platform unless otherwise agreed. For example:
- Freelancers: All work, designs, writings, software, or other content created for a buyer remains the property of the freelancer unless a written agreement transfers ownership to the buyer.
- Buyers: Upon completion and payment for a project, buyers receive ownership rights to the finished deliverables, unless otherwise stipulated in the project contract or service agreement.
2. Licensing of Content
By posting content to Vccpanda, you grant the platform a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute that content solely for the purpose of providing and promoting the services on the platform. This license will remain in effect for as long as the content is hosted on Vccpanda.
3. Prohibited Content
Users are prohibited from uploading or sharing content that infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Copyrighted materials: Uploading content such as images, music, text, or videos that you do not own or have permission to use.
- Trademarks: Using trademarks owned by others without permission in a manner that might cause confusion about the source of goods or services.
- Patented content: Uploading products or processes that are patented by other entities without authorization.
