Copyright Policy

1. Purpose and Scope

This policy explains how Qannects handles copyright concerns involving posts, images, audio, video, Watch content, live streams, thumbnails, titles, descriptions, comments, organization pages, workspace content, TV/display content, and other material available through Qannects services.

Qannects respects intellectual property rights and expects users, creators, organizations, workspace operators, administrators, and future sellers or delivery participants to upload, stream, display, or distribute only content they have the right to use.

This policy works with the Qannects Terms of Service, Community Standards, Watch rules, workspace rules, privacy notices, Legal Center request process, and feature-specific terms.

2. Copyright Responsibility

You are responsible for the content you provide through Qannects. Do not upload, stream, copy, post, display, title, thumbnail, describe, distribute, sell, or promote content unless you own it, have permission, have a valid license, or are otherwise legally allowed to use it.

This includes videos, live streams, lectures, khutbah recordings, nasheed, Quran recitations, books, articles, images, logos, graphics, event posters, captions, thumbnails, translations, course material, organization media, and other creative works.

3. Where to Submit a Copyright Report

Rights holders may submit a formal copyright notice through the Qannects Legal Center request form or an available Watch copyright notice flow. Copyright correspondence may also be sent to copyright@qannects.com.

Use one notice for each related group of works and identify every Qannects location you want reviewed. General complaints that do not identify the copyrighted work and reported material may be handled as ordinary support or content reports rather than formal copyright notices.

You may also send notices and counter-notices directly to our designated Copyright Agent using the contact details in section 15 below.

4. What a Copyright Report Should Include

To help Qannects review a copyright report, include:

• A physical or electronic signature from the copyright owner or authorized representative.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim was infringed, or a representative list if multiple works at a single online location are involved.
• Identification of the Qannects content you believe is infringing, with enough information for Qannects to locate it, such as URLs, content IDs, screenshots, titles, timestamps, creator/channel names, workspace names, or post links.
• The reporting party's full legal name, physical mailing address, phone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the reported use is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner's agent, or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Your typed or electronic signature.

Qannects may ask for more information if a report is incomplete, unclear, appears fraudulent, does not identify the content, or does not include the required statements.

5. Intake, Verification, and Review

The Legal Center asks for the notice type, claimant identity and contact details, copyrighted work, reported material location, required statements, and signature. Public submissions receive a request ID and may require contact-email verification before review. Keep the request ID for follow-up and for any counter-notice.

Qannects reviews whether a notice is complete and legally sufficient before recording a content restriction. If a notice is valid, Qannects may remove or disable access to the identified material and will seek to notify the affected user or content operator promptly using available contact information.

Private file evidence upload is not public-ready unless Qannects explicitly enables it for the request. If file upload is unavailable, the request can still be submitted with URLs, content IDs, descriptions, original-work details, and other location information.

6. Watch Copyright Claims

An authenticated Watch notice is linked to the same Legal Center case system used for other Qannects copyright matters. The Watch form requires the copyright owner name, claimant's full legal name, physical address, phone number, email, original-work details, signature, and legal certification.

Qannects may place Watch content under review, block playback, remove visibility, restrict live activity, record enforcement, restore content, or take other action based on the notice, counter-notice, law, policy, safety needs, and review outcome.

7. Counter-Notices

If Qannects removes or disables material in response to a copyright notice, the affected user may submit a counter-notice through an available product flow or the Legal Center using the original notice request ID.

A counter-notice must include a physical or electronic signature; identification of the removed or disabled material and its former location; a statement under penalty of perjury that the submitter has a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification; the submitter's full legal name, physical address, phone number, and email; consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States federal district court; and acceptance of service of process from the original claimant or that person's agent.

The contact and statement information in a valid counter-notice will be forwarded to the original claimant as part of the statutory process. Do not submit a counter-notice if you are unwilling or unable to make these statements and disclosures.

8. Forwarding and Restoration Window

When Qannects determines that a counter-notice is valid, Qannects will promptly forward it to the original claimant and record the forwarding date.

Qannects may restore the affected material after no fewer than 10 and no more than 14 business days following receipt of the valid counter-notice unless the original claimant notifies Qannects that a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement has been filed. Qannects records the receipt date and forwarding date separately. Weekends and configured legal holidays are excluded from this business-day calculation.

Restoration returns only the state controlled by the copyright restriction. Independent safety, child-protection, privacy, fraud, security, workspace, or other policy restrictions may continue to prevent restoration.

9. Review and Possible Actions

Qannects may review notices, counter-notices, content metadata, Watch records, internal review notes, and available evidence. Qannects may request additional information, reject an incomplete or invalid submission, remove or disable material, preserve records, notify affected parties, or take other action consistent with law and policy.

Submitting a notice does not guarantee the action requested. Qannects may account for fair use, licensing, authorization, ownership disputes, misidentification, fraud, safety restrictions, and other relevant circumstances, but Qannects does not adjudicate private ownership disputes.

10. Repeat Infringement and Strikes

Qannects maintains records of valid copyright enforcement across supported products and may restrict or terminate, in appropriate circumstances, accounts or other access associated with repeat infringement.

A configured threshold may trigger human review, but Qannects does not terminate an account automatically from a raw claim count. Review may consider whether notices were valid, whether restrictions were restored or enforcement was released, severity, identity links across personal and managed surfaces, and other relevant evidence.

11. Standard Technical Measures

Qannects will accommodate and will not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted works when those measures satisfy applicable legal requirements and are available to Qannects on reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms.

12. False, Fraudulent, or Abusive Submissions

Do not submit false notices, false counter-notices, fake ownership claims, impersonation claims, automated abusive submissions, or reports intended to silence lawful content, harass users, manipulate competitors, or interfere with Qannects operations.

A person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing or that material was removed or disabled by mistake may be responsible for resulting damages and legal costs. Qannects may also reject the submission, restrict access, preserve evidence, or take action under the Terms of Service and Community Standards.

13. Retention, Privacy, and Disclosure

Qannects may preserve copyright notices, counter-notices, request records, evidence references, verification records, internal review notes, content identifiers, timestamps, claimant and submitter contact details, Watch records, strike records, and decisions for legal, safety, audit, abuse-prevention, dispute, and compliance reasons.

Qannects may disclose notice information to the affected user and counter-notice information to the original claimant as required to operate the copyright process. Qannects may also disclose records when required by law or necessary to protect rights and safety.

14. Future Store and Delivery Services

Store is currently demo, preview, or pilot posture unless Qannects explicitly launches it as a public marketplace. Delivery services are not deployed as public services at this stage.

If Qannects later launches public marketplace, seller, delivery, or product-listing services, those services will need additional intellectual property, listing, brand, counterfeit, product-media, seller-dispute, takedown, and repeat-violation rules before launch.
