Copyright and Takedown Policy
Who owns the site content, who owns your files and outputs, and how to send or answer a copyright complaint.
Last updated
Who owns what
| Material | Owner | What you may do |
|---|---|---|
| Site design, code, and interface | Motifuse (open-source components remain under their own licences). | Use the service. Do not copy the implementation. |
| Articles, guides, tool pages, policies | Motifuse. | Link freely; quote short excerpts with attribution. |
| Starter templates supplied by Motifuse | Motifuse, licensed to you for use within the service. | Use, edit, and generate documents from them for lawful purposes. |
| Files, datasets, and documents you upload | You, or whoever held the rights before you uploaded them. | Everything you could already do. We claim nothing. |
| Outputs generated from your inputs | You, subject to the rights in the material you supplied. | Use them for any lawful purpose. |
| Custom project deliverables | As defined in the accepted quotation. | As defined in the accepted quotation. |
Motifuse content
Unless stated otherwise, Motifuse owns or licenses the original text, design, user interface, logos, tool pages, articles, policy pages, software, and product implementations on the platform. Third-party open-source libraries used in the software remain under their own licences and are not covered by this claim.
You may link to any Motifuse page and quote short excerpts with attribution. Republishing substantial portions of articles, tool documentation, or policy text without permission is not permitted.
Your content and outputs
You keep the rights you already hold in anything you enter into a tool, upload to a workspace, or process with a premium product. Motifuse claims no ownership of it, and does not use it to train AI models.
You grant only the limited permission needed to run the feature you asked for — parsing, converting, rendering, comparing, storing, delivering, and securing your content for that purpose. That permission ends when the content is deleted or its retention window lapses.
Outputs a tool generates from your inputs are yours, subject to the rights in the material you provided. Two caveats worth stating plainly:
- Generating a document does not create rights you did not already have. If the source material was not yours to use, the output is not either.
- AI-assisted output should be reviewed for accuracy and for third-party rights before you publish or send it.
You are responsible for ensuring you have permission to upload, process, or generate outputs from any material you provide.
Custom project deliverables
For paid custom projects, rights are defined by the accepted quotation. In general: you own the data and customer-specific content you provide, and receive the delivered tool for your use as described there. Motifuse retains ownership of reusable frameworks, generic components, and development tooling unless a separate source-code transfer is purchased and recorded in the quotation. Feedback you volunteer about the platform may be used to improve it without obligation.
Trademarks
The Motifuse name and logo are brand assets of Motifuse. Third-party names, logos, and brands may appear for descriptive purposes — naming a file format, a provider, or a standard — and remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance does not imply endorsement, affiliation, or partnership in either direction.
Sending a copyright notice
If you believe content available on Motifuse infringes your copyright, send a notice through the contact form using the copyright category, or email contact@motifuse.com. We accept notices in the style of the US DMCA and equivalent notices under Indian law.
Include all of the following
- Your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
- A description of the copyrighted work you believe was infringed, identified clearly enough for us to recognise it.
- The exact Motifuse URL or location where the allegedly infringing content appears.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Incomplete notices may not be actionable — the list above is what lets us act without a round trip. We review notices promptly and may remove or disable access to content while a complaint is assessed.
Counter-notices
If your content was removed after a complaint and you believe the removal was mistaken — because you hold the rights, because the use was licensed, or because it falls under an exception such as fair use or fair dealing — you can reply through the same channels.
Include
- The URL or location of the content that was removed.
- Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- An explanation of why you believe the removal was a mistake.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you hold a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of error or misidentification.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
We may restore content where the counter-notice is credible and the law permits it. We may also forward your counter-notice, including the contact details in it, to the party who sent the original complaint — that is how the process works, and you should send it knowing that.
Repeat infringement
Accounts or workspaces responsible for repeated infringement may be suspended or terminated, consistent with the enforcement approach applied to every other kind of breach.
