Copyright & DMCA Policy

Welcome to PICSIVO. We respect the rights of photographers, artists, creators, copyright owners, and other content contributors. We aim to make image discovery useful while treating creative work responsibly.

This page explains our general approach to copyright, image permissions, attribution, and requests concerning potentially infringing content.

1. About PICSIVO

PICSIVO is being developed as an image-discovery and visual-content website. Content may include original photography, creator-contributed images, and other images that we have a valid basis to display.

Our intention is to respect applicable copyright laws and the usage conditions attached to each image. The presence of an image on PICSIVO does not automatically mean that it is free to download, reproduce, modify, or use commercially.

2. Copyright Ownership

Unless otherwise stated, copyright in a photograph, illustration, graphic, or other creative work generally belongs to its respective creator or rights holder, subject to applicable law and any valid agreements.

• Images created by PICSIVO's owner remain subject to the applicable ownership and usage terms.
• Images supplied by other creators remain subject to their respective rights and permissions.
• Third-party names, trademarks, artwork, and other protected materials belong to their respective owners.

PICSIVO does not claim ownership of third-party content merely because it is displayed or referenced on this website.

3. Image Permissions and Licensing

We aim to display images only when we have created them, received appropriate permission, obtained a suitable license, or have another lawful basis for using them.

Image usage conditions can differ. Depending on the applicable license or permission, an image may require attribution, restrict commercial use, prohibit modifications, or impose other conditions.

Important: Please check the specific usage information provided with an image. Do not assume that every image on PICSIVO is free for personal or commercial use.

Where applicable, image posts may identify the creator, source, license, permission details, or other relevant information. We will aim to keep these details accurate, but users should verify the applicable terms before reusing an image.

4. Attribution and Creator Credits

Where attribution is required or appropriate, we aim to credit the creator or rights holder and provide source information when available.

A credit or link does not, by itself, grant permission to use a copyrighted image. Users must obtain any permission required by the applicable license or law.

If you believe an image has incorrect, incomplete, or misleading attribution, please contact us with the image URL and the correct information.

5. Prohibited Copyright Misuse

Visitors and contributors must not knowingly use PICSIVO to facilitate unauthorized copying or distribution of copyrighted material.

Examples of conduct that may raise copyright concerns include:

• Uploading or submitting images without the necessary rights or permissions.
• Removing watermarks, copyright notices, or required attribution to misrepresent ownership or permissions.
• Claiming someone else's photograph or artwork as one's own original work.
• Misrepresenting an image's license or permission status.
• Reproducing or distributing content in a way that infringes the rights of its owner.

6. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized representative and believe that material displayed on PICSIVO infringes your rights, you may contact us with a request for review.

To help us understand your concern, please include:

1. Your full name and contact information.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you own or are authorized to represent.
3. The exact URL of the PICSIVO page containing the material in question.
4. An explanation of why you believe the use is unauthorized.
5. Information about your ownership or authority to act for the rights holder.
6. Any additional information that may help us assess the request.

Please note: Submitting a request does not guarantee immediate removal. We may need to request further information or assess the circumstances before deciding what action is appropriate.

7. DMCA and Official Platform Reporting

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law. Depending on the circumstances, other copyright laws may also apply.

For content hosted through Blogger or another Google service, rights holders may use Google's official copyright reporting process:

Google Legal Help — Report Copyright Infringement

Select the relevant Google product and follow the instructions for submitting a copyright complaint. A formal legal notice may require specific declarations and information beyond the details requested in our general contact process.

This page is not a substitute for legal advice or for any formal notice required by applicable law. PICSIVO does not claim to be a separately designated DMCA agent.

8. Review and Removal of Reported Content

When we receive a credible copyright complaint, we may review the reported material and take appropriate steps, which may include:

• Requesting clarification or supporting information.
• Correcting inaccurate credits or license details.
• Temporarily restricting access to material while a concern is reviewed, where appropriate.
• Removing or disabling access to material when warranted by the facts, applicable law, or platform requirements.

Repeated or serious infringement may result in further restrictions on a contributor's ability to submit content, where applicable.

9. Counter-Notices and Disputed Claims

If content is removed or restricted following a copyright complaint and you believe the action was mistaken, you may have options to dispute the claim or submit a counter-notification through the relevant platform's official procedure.

Counter-notifications can have legal consequences and may require personal information and formal statements. Review the applicable requirements carefully and consider obtaining legal advice if needed.

PICSIVO cannot guarantee reinstatement of disputed material or determine legal ownership solely from a disagreement between parties.

10. Third-Party Websites and Services

PICSIVO may link to external websites, image sources, or third-party services. We do not control every third-party website or its content, licensing terms, privacy practices, or availability.

Users should review the terms and permissions of any external source before downloading, sharing, or reusing its material.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Copyright & DMCA Policy as PICSIVO develops, our practices change, or applicable requirements evolve. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
