Copyright & DMCA

1. Respect for Intellectual Property

CUB SOFTWARE respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our Services to do the same. We comply with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable intellectual property laws.

Our Services are designed for personal, non-commercial use and should only be used to download, process, or share content that you have the legal right to access and use.

2. Scope of This Policy

This Copyright Policy applies to all CUB SOFTWARE services, including but not limited to:

• Social Media Saver — Media download tool
• File Converter, Image Editor, PDF Tools, Video Compressor, Audio Trimmer — File and media processing
• Resume Builder, Invoice Generator, Markdown Editor, Notepad, Sticky Board — Document and productivity tools

3. Important Disclaimer - Our Role as a Tool Provider

For most of our Services, CUB SOFTWARE operates as a tool provider. For those tools we do NOT:

• Keep the media you download or the files you process, beyond the time needed to deliver the result
• Own any content that users download, process, or share through our Services
• Control what content users choose to access or download
• Encourage or endorse copyright infringement
• Have editorial control over third-party content

Our Services function as neutral tools that:

• Retrieve publicly accessible content from third-party platforms at the user's direction
• Process files that users voluntarily upload
• Generate shortened URLs for destinations chosen by users
• Display user-submitted server templates on the CleanMe Website

Users are solely responsible for ensuring they have the legal right to download, use, and share any content.

Some Services do store content on our servers: images, profiles and pages that users upload or publish, themes and plugins in the CUB Studio marketplace, and audio CUB Radio caches so it can play a requested song (CUB Jukebox plays through YouTube's own player and keeps no audio). We act on valid notices about any of it, as described below.

4. User Responsibility

By using our Services, users represent and warrant that:

• They have the legal right to access, download, or process the content in question
• Their use of downloaded content complies with all applicable copyright laws
• They will not use our Services to infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others
• They understand that they bear sole responsibility for any consequences of their actions
• Content is being used for personal, non-commercial purposes unless proper licenses are obtained

CUB SOFTWARE is not liable for how users choose to use downloaded or processed content.

5. DMCA Compliance

CUB SOFTWARE complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable intellectual property laws.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we may restore the removed content within 10-14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action.

8. Link Shortener (cubsw.link) - Special Provisions

Regarding our Link Shortener service:

• We do not host the content at destination URLs - we only provide shortened redirect links
• DMCA notices for content at destination URLs should be directed to the hosting provider of that content
• However, we may disable shortened links that redirect to infringing content upon receiving valid notice
• We reserve the right to disable any shortened link at our discretion

9. CleanMe Website - Server Templates

Regarding server templates shared on the CleanMe Website:

• Server templates contain structural data (channel names, role names, categories) - not messages or copyrighted content
• If a server template contains trademarked names or infringes on intellectual property, we will remove it upon valid notice
• Users who submit templates warrant that they have the right to share the server structure

9a. CUB Radio, CUB Jukebox and CUB Greenscreen

• CUB Radio plays songs requested by listeners, found from public sources such as YouTube (Spotify links are matched to a playable source)
• If you own the rights to a track and do not want it played, send a notice to the address below naming the track. We will remove it and block it from future requests
• CUB Jukebox and CUB Greenscreen play requests on a streamer's own broadcast. The streamer controls what is allowed and is responsible for what plays on their stream; notices about a broadcast should also go to the streaming platform

9b. CUB Studio Marketplace and Uploaded Content

• We will remove an item, image, profile or page that infringes your rights on receiving a valid notice, and may suspend the uploader's ability to publish

For user-generated content on our Services (shared resumes, sticky boards, profiles, giveaway campaigns, etc.):

• Users are responsible for ensuring their content does not infringe third-party rights
• We will remove infringing content upon receiving valid DMCA notice
• Repeat infringers may have their access to our Services terminated

11. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts or access of users who are repeat infringers. We may also limit access to our Services and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

12. Fair Use

Users should be aware of fair use principles under copyright law, which may permit limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as:

• Criticism and commentary
• News reporting
• Teaching and education
• Research and scholarship
• Parody

Fair use is a legal doctrine with specific factors considered by courts. We encourage users to familiarize themselves with fair use principles. Fair use is determined on a case-by-case basis and is not a blanket exception.
