IP Policy

Version: 1.1

Version Date: 1 September 2024

1. Introduction

Fanmeka respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect you to do the same. Fanmeka’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines do not allow posting, uploading, publishing, submitting, or transmitting any content that violates or infringes someone else’s intellectual property rights, including copyright and trademark.

Do not infringe on IP that you do not own or have not licensed. If a seller violates this policy, they may be subject to investigation and receive corrective action in accordance with our Enforcement Policy, up to and including removal from the platform. IP infringement may also violate laws in your jurisdiction and result in severe penalties.

2. Counterfeit items or items infringing on a third party's intellectual property rights

  • No sales, listings, or giveaways of any counterfeit, imitation, fake, replicas, bootlegs, or non-genuine items.
  • No content or sales of any items that violate or infringes another party’s copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property rights. This includes using the Fanmeka name, logo, or other brand assets without explicit approval from Fanmeka.
  • Items sold with a brand name or logo must be original.
  • Items must adhere to our Listing Guidelines.

3. Use of content on Fanmeka

  • It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the right to use all content, including music, PPV content, sports events, movies, TV, shows, etc. played or displayed in the background in any live stream.
  • You also may not use any content owned in whole or in part by someone other than yourself in your streams without the necessary authorisation.
  • If you wish to use licensed and/or copyrighted content, including music, in your live streams, you’ll generally need to have received permission from the owner(s) of the content.
  • Fanmeka cannot grant you any of these rights and it is your responsibility to contact the persons who may grant them to you.

If you have further questions, you’ll have to research this process on your own or with a lawyer’s help.

4. Reporting IP infringements

A report alleging infringement of intellectual property rights must come from the rights owner or someone authorised to report on their behalf (e.g. a lawyer). If you are not the rights owner or their authorised representative, we will not be able to process your report. If you believe others' rights may be infringed, please ask them to review this IP Policy.

Any unauthorised content users share on Fanmeka violates our Terms of Service and is subject to removal. Multiple violations of our policies may lead to a permanent suspension of a user’s account. Rights holders may request that Fanmeka remove unauthorised content and/or issue penalties through the following processes:

  • For copyrighted works, the notice-and-takedown process is described in the “Intellectual Property & Account Information” section of our Terms of Service.
  • For trademarks, you should identify the allegedly infringing work and the legal basis for your claim, including the registration and/or application numbers for your trademark. Please understand that Fanmeka is not in a position to mediate trademark disputes between users and trademark owners. Fanmeka, at its discretion, may perform a limited investigation of reasonable complaints and will remove the content in clear cases of infringement.
