Unintended Use of Copyrighted Materials Statement

Effective Date: September 30, 2024

At Not Just Living, we are committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We strive to ensure that all content on our website, www.notjustliving.com, complies with applicable copyright laws. However, in some instances, copyrighted materials may be unintentionally used without proper authorization or attribution. This disclosure outlines our policy for addressing such occurrences and the steps we take to resolve these issues.

1. Copyright Compliance

We make every effort to ensure that all images, videos, text, music, and other content posted on our website are either:

  • Created by us or our contributors,
  • Properly licensed for use on the website,
  • Used under applicable fair use laws, or
  • In the public domain.

We maintain strict internal processes to review all content before publication to minimize the risk of copyright infringement.

2. Unintended Use of Copyrighted Materials

If any copyrighted materials appear on our website without proper authorization or attribution, it is entirely unintentional. We do not claim ownership or intend to profit from the use of any copyrighted content belonging to others. If you believe that any content on our website infringes upon your copyright, please notify us immediately so that we can take appropriate action.

3. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are the copyright owner or an authorized representative of the copyright owner and believe that we have used your copyrighted material without permission, please contact us at thrive@notjustliving.com with the following information:

  • Your full name and contact information (address, email, phone number)
  • A detailed description of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed
  • The specific location (URL) on our website where the alleged infringement is occurring
  • A statement that you, in good faith, believe that the use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
  • A statement that the information provided in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or an authorized agent acting on behalf of the copyright owner
  • Your electronic or physical signature

Upon receipt of a valid copyright infringement notice, we will:

  • Promptly investigate the claim
  • Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content if we determine it infringes on another’s copyright
  • Notify the user who posted the content, if applicable, about the removal of the material

4. Fair Use and Public Domain Content

Certain materials may be used under the doctrine of fair use, which allows limited use of copyrighted content for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research. In other cases, content may be sourced from the public domain, where it is no longer subject to copyright protection.

If you believe that a removal request has been made in error and that the content qualifies as fair use or public domain, you may submit a counter-notice explaining your reasoning. We will review the claim and respond accordingly.

5. Corrective Actions

Upon notification of unauthorized use of copyrighted material, we will take the following corrective actions:

  • Immediate Removal: If a claim of infringement is verified, we will remove the infringing material from our website immediately.
  • Proper Attribution: If the issue is one of missing attribution rather than unauthorized use, we will add the correct attribution to the content.
  • Content Replacement: If necessary, we will replace the infringing content with properly licensed or original material.
  • User Notification: If a third party has uploaded or submitted the infringing content, we will notify the party of the copyright violation and require immediate compliance.

6. Limitation of Liability

While we take all reasonable efforts to ensure compliance with copyright laws, we disclaim any liability for unintentional copyright violations. We do not assume responsibility for content submitted by third parties or users that may infringe on the rights of copyright holders. However, we are committed to resolving copyright disputes swiftly and fairly in accordance with applicable law.

7. Changes to this Disclosure

We may update this disclosure from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this disclosure periodically for any changes.
