Ratingeer respects intellectual property rights and expects users, businesses, and other visitors to do the same.
This Copyright Policy explains how copyright-related content concerns may be handled on Ratingeer, what rights apply to content on the platform, and what users should do if they believe copyrighted material has been used improperly.
Ownership of Ratingeer content
Unless otherwise stated, the design, layout, platform structure, branding, logos, graphics, text, and other original materials made available by Ratingeer are owned by Ratingeer or used with permission.
These materials are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.
You may not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, sell, or exploit Ratingeer’s original site content beyond normal personal and lawful use unless you have prior written permission or the law clearly allows it.
User-submitted and third-party content
Ratingeer is a public-facing platform that may display reviews, ratings, profile information, business details, and other user-submitted or third-party content.
Users and businesses remain responsible for the content they submit to the platform. Submitting content to Ratingeer does not mean that Ratingeer claims ownership of that content. However, by submitting content, users may grant Ratingeer the limited rights needed to host, display, format, store, and publish that content as part of operating the platform.
If you submit content to Ratingeer, you are responsible for making sure that you have the right to share it and that doing so does not infringe another person’s copyright or other legal rights.
What is not allowed
You must not use Ratingeer to post, upload, copy, or distribute content that infringes copyright or other intellectual property rights.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Copying articles, images, videos, graphics, or text without permission
- Reusing protected content in a way that violates the rights of the owner
- Uploading content you do not own and do not have the right to use
- Using copyrighted materials in a misleading, unauthorized, or unlawful way
If we believe content on the platform may violate copyright or related rights, we may review it and take appropriate action.
Reporting copyright concerns
If you believe content on Ratingeer infringes your copyright, you can contact us and explain the issue clearly.
To help us review the matter, your notice should include as much relevant detail as possible, such as:
- Your full name and contact information
- Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed
- The exact URL or page location of the content in question
- A short explanation of why you believe the use is unauthorized
- Any supporting information that may help us understand the issue
Providing clear and specific information helps us review reports more efficiently.
What may happen after a report
When a copyright-related report is received, we may review the information provided and decide whether further action is needed.
Depending on the circumstances, we may:
- Request more information
- Temporarily limit access to the content
- Remove content
- Reject a report that is incomplete, unclear, or unsupported
- Take other reasonable action where needed to protect rights, users, or platform integrity
Submitting a report does not automatically mean content will be removed.
Repeat or serious misuse
Ratingeer may restrict, suspend, or remove access to accounts, profiles, or content if we reasonably believe a user or business has repeatedly infringed copyright, misused protected content, or used the platform in a way that creates legal or platform integrity concerns.
Fair use and legal exceptions
Not every use of copyrighted material is automatically unlawful. In some cases, limited use may be allowed under fair use, fair dealing, quotation rights, or other legal exceptions, depending on the law that applies.
Because copyright questions can depend on context, Ratingeer may review reports carefully before taking action.
Third-party websites and services
Ratingeer may contain links to third-party websites, business pages, or external services. We are not responsible for the content or copyright practices of third-party websites.
If your concern relates to material hosted outside Ratingeer, you may need to contact the relevant third party directly.
Changes to this Copyright Policy
We may update this Copyright Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the platform, legal requirements, or how copyright-related concerns are handled.
When changes are made, the updated version may be posted on this page.
