This Copyright Guidance was last updated on May 7, 2023

In this Copyright Guidance, “Site” means our website (www.even.biz), any associated app and any connected software, and “User Content” means music, sound recordings and the musical compositions embodied therein, videos, artwork, text, comments, images, and other content, data or information you upload, post and share via the Site. For purposes of this Copyright Guidance, as used herein, “Even”, “we”, “us” or “our” means EVEN Labs Inc.

Intellectual property is the legal phrase used to describe what you create (for example, an original song or an original brand would be intellectual property). Copyright, trade marks, designs, and patents are all examples of intellectual property.

Copyright is a type of intellectual property right which is used to protect the end result or product of your ideas (not the ideas themselves, which may be protected by confidentiality). Copyright exists to reward the effort invested in creating original ‘works’ (like videos, music, articles, and designs).

Copyright is handled differently under the laws of different territories, but if you use someone else’s content (like a logo, picture, or even a short clip of music or video), you probably need a ‘licence’ (a legal phrase that means a permission to do something that would otherwise not be legal or allowed). When using the Site, you must not stream or upload or otherwise use any User Content that you do not own or have a licence to use. This includes content that may be visible or audible in the background of your User Content. ‘Copyright infringement’ is the legal phrase used to describe the illegal use of copyright (for example, using a copyright-protected song without a licence).

We may use third party filtering technology (“Filter”) to compare User Content uploaded to the Site with a database of registered content. Any User Content which matches with registered content will not be streamed or made available on the Site. We may also receive take-down requests from people or organisations that own or control intellectual property rights, which we must respond to quickly to comply with the law.

Anyone who owns or controls copyright may submit a take-down request in relation to content or materials they suspect infringes their copyright. As long as these take-down requests contain certain information, intellectual property law requires Even to act quickly to disable access to the content that the take-down request identifies as infringing.

If you suspect your copyright is being infringed on the Site, please submit a take-down request by emailing us at info@even.biz. Before submitting a take-down request, please check that the copyright work which you own or control is registered with the US copyright office and consider whether any fair use exceptions may apply. You may only submit a take-down request if you own or legally control the copyright you suspect is being infringed. If you submit a take-down request in relation to content or activity of another Site user that you know is not infringing copyright, you may have to pay compensation to that user. In your take-down request, you must include:

• details of the copyright work which you suspect is being infringed;

• details of the content or activity you suspect is infringing the copyright work, including the location of this content or activity on the Site (for example, the URL of the content);

• a statement from you confirming that you believe in good faith that the activity or the use of the content in the way you describe infringes the copyright you own or control and is not authorized by you, someone authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf, or the law;

• a statement from you that the information you provide is accurate and that you are, or are authorised to act for, the owner of the copyright;

• your contact information (including email address and telephone number); and

• your physical or digital signature, or if you are acting on behalf of the copyright owner, the signature of a person authorised to act on their behalf.

• 
  

You may appeal Even’s decision to disable access to your User Content by contacting us directly at info@even.biz. We will decide on a case-by-case basis whether the User Content may be made available on the Site. Your appeal must include:

• details of the content or account that has been blocked or removed from the Site and the location where this content or account appeared before it was blocked or removed;

• a statement from you confirming that you believe in good faith that the content or account was removed or disabled in error and that it is does not infringe copyright;

• your contact information (including email address, physical address, and telephone number); and

• your signature, or if you are acting on behalf of another person or organisation, the signature of a person authorised to act on their behalf.

  
  If you repeatedly infringe copyright, we may (where appropriate) suspend or stop your access to the Site.
