Content, Copyright & DMCA

• We respond to complete, good-faith copyright notices promptly.
• We tell the person who posted the content what happened and give them a route to respond.
• Accounts that repeatedly infringe are terminated.
• We push back on notices that are clearly abusive or aimed at silencing criticism.
• Fair use, fair dealing, criticism, commentary, parody and news reporting are real and we take them seriously when assessing a notice.

Send your notice to copyright@simplyme.app with the subject line “Copyright notice”. To be actionable it must include all of the following:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work you own: a link to the original, a registration number, or a clear description.
2. The exact URL or in-app location of each item on SimplyMe you say infringes it. One link per item.
3. Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
5. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf, made under penalty of perjury.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

We acknowledge notices within 2 business days and act on valid ones within 5 business days, faster for clear-cut cases. We may publish a redacted copy of notices in our transparency report.

If we removed something of yours and you believe the removal was a mistake or that your use was lawful, you can send a counter-notice to copyright@simplyme.app. Include:

1. Identification of the removed content and where it appeared.
2. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
3. Your name, address, phone number and email.
4. Consent to the jurisdiction of a court where you live, or where SimplyMe is based, for the purposes of this dispute.
5. Your signature.

We forward valid counter-notices to the original complainant. If they do not file a court action within 10 to 14 business days, we may restore your content.

• First valid notice: content removed, strike issued, educational notice sent.
• Second strike: content removed, 14-day restriction on posting the relevant media type.
• Third strike: account terminated, monetisation forfeited.

Strikes expire after 12 months of good standing. A strike that came from a notice we later find abusive is removed and does not count.

SimplyMe Music sits inside the same account as the feed, so a track can be attached to a post in one tap. That convenience comes with licence boundaries.

We report plays to rights holders and collecting societies so royalties can be paid. Plays generated by bots or incentivised schemes are excluded and any related payouts reversed. If a rights holder withdraws a track, posts using it may be muted rather than deleted, and we will tell you so you can swap the audio.

Rights holders wanting to license their catalogue to SimplyMe or set up content matching can write to copyright@simplyme.app.

• Templates, fonts, icons, illustrations, shapes and stock media in the Studio are licensed to you for use inside your own designs and posts, on SimplyMe and off it.
• You may not extract those assets and sell, sublicense or redistribute them as assets, or use them to build a competing library.
• Some assets are editorial-use-only or carry attribution requirements. The asset page states the terms, and those terms win where they differ from this page.
• Designs you make are yours. Where a design is substantially just one of our templates, other members can use the same template too.

• We do not train generative models on your private content, drafts, direct messages or résumé data by default.
• Where we use a third-party model provider, our contract prohibits them from training on content we send.
• If we ever launch a programme that trains on member content, it will be opt-in, clearly explained, and revocable, and creators in it will be credited or compensated.
• We honour machine-readable opt-outs for our own crawlers and we do not scrape other platforms for training data.

If someone is using your trademark on SimplyMe in a way that is likely to confuse people about the source of goods or services, write to legal@simplyme.app with proof of your registration, the goods and services it covers, and links to the accounts or posts in question. Nominative use, comparison, commentary and criticism are not infringement.
