Intellectual property policyIntellectual Property and Publicity RightsFan Made Fits is a vibrant community of artists, influencers and fashion enthusiasts. Art and fashion is what we do. But we must respect the rights of all artists around the world. We humbly ask that all of our users adhere to all local laws regarding intellectual property and publicity rights. This will allow us to continue to grow our community. Fan Made Fits protects the rights of artists.In short, stealing other people’s designs and work and passing it off as your own is against the law.Please use the email dmca@fanmadefits.com to submit all IP related notices and counter-notices.Laws and RegulationsWe are a global community. Laws may not be uniform around the world. However in general:COPYRIGHT law protects the expression of an original idea recorded in a tangible form, such as artwork in the form of photographs or paintings and literary works in the form of poems or stories.TRADEMARK law protects the use of words, symbols, designs or logos that identify and distinguish a source of goods.PUBLICITY RIGHTS protect an individual’s name, image and likeness. Basically this means you can’t use someone else’s identity, to your commercial advantage, without their consent.A NOTE ON FAIR USE: You might be able to incorporate someone else's copyright or trademark into your own work, if you do it in such a way that that is considered 'fair use' or in such a way that qualifies as another permissible use. However, please be aware that “fair use” typically applies in limited circumstances and isn’t the same as “freedom of speech”. Quite frankly “fair use” is a difficult concept, even for the experts, and the scope of “fair use” is different in different countries. So even if you think you’ve created a work covered by “fair use” or another permissible use, you should talk to an attorney prior to using it in connection with the Fan Made Fits service. While some uses might appear “fair” or permissible to you, we ask that you understand that Fan Made Fits must act in accordance with its Notice and Takedown procedure when a report has been received. Additionally, certain works may be taken down without a specific report being received if we are otherwise alerted or aware of potential infringement issues.Finally, you take full responsibility for the works you upload and display on Fan Made Fits.
