DMCA / Intellectual Property Policy

Last Updated: June 24, 2026

Credkeeper™ respects intellectual property rights and expects its users, customers, subscribers, profile owners, account administrators, contributors, and service providers to do the same.

This DMCA / Intellectual Property Policy explains how copyright owners, trademark owners, rights holders, authorized agents, and affected parties may report alleged intellectual property infringement involving content hosted, published, distributed, displayed, submitted, or otherwise made available through Credkeeper.

This Policy applies to Credkeeper websites, applications, dashboards, profiles, authority content, published articles, images, videos, reviews, testimonials, user-uploaded materials, social media content, CRM-related content, landing pages, lead capture materials, and other content or materials associated with Credkeeper services.

1. User Responsibility for Content

Users are solely responsible for ensuring that all content they submit, upload, provide, approve, authorize, publish, distribute, or allow Credkeeper to use does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third-party rights.

  • trademarks;
  • service marks;

Credkeeper may assist with drafting, editing, formatting, publishing, distributing, or displaying content. However, Credkeeper does not independently verify that user content is non-infringing or that the user has obtained all required rights, licenses, releases, permissions, consents, or approvals.

As between the user and Credkeeper, the user remains responsible for all content the user submits, approves, allows to be deemed approved, or authorizes Credkeeper to use.

Prohibited content includes, without limitation:

  • copyrighted text copied from another website, article, publication, book, report, newsletter, social post, email, or marketing material without authorization;
  • images, photographs, graphics, screenshots, videos, music, audio, templates, or designs used without permission;
  • third-party logos, marks, names, or brand identifiers used in a way that suggests endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, approval, or authorization without permission;
  • client reviews, testimonials, endorsements, quotes, names, likenesses, photos, or identifying details used without required consent;
  • firm, employer, broker-dealer, RIA, insurance agency, custodian, platform, or third-party materials used outside permitted guidelines;
  • content that violates confidentiality, privacy, trade secret, or contractual obligations;
  • materials that infringe or misappropriate any third-party intellectual property right.

Credkeeper™, the Credkeeper name, logos, service names, product names, designs, text, software, code, layouts, graphics, workflows, documentation, marketing materials, and other Credkeeper materials are owned by Credkeeper or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

Except as expressly permitted in writing, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, display, modify, reverse engineer, create derivative works from, imitate, frame, scrape, commercialize, or use Credkeeper intellectual property.

Nothing in this Policy grants any license or right to use Credkeeper patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, trade secrets, software, technology, or other intellectual property.

12. User-Provided Licenses and Permissions

By submitting, uploading, approving, authorizing, or allowing Credkeeper to use content, the user represents and warrants that:

  • the user owns the content or has all required rights, licenses, permissions, releases, and approvals;
  • Credkeeper and its service providers may use, reproduce, modify, format, publish, distribute, display, store, host, transmit, syndicate, and otherwise process the content in connection with the Service;

13. Repeat Infringer Policy

Credkeeper may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts of users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly accused of infringing copyrights or other intellectual property rights.

Credkeeper may determine repeat-infringer status in its discretion, considering factors such as:

  • the number of valid complaints received;
  • the nature of the alleged infringement;
  • the user’s response to complaints;
  • whether complaints appear legitimate or abusive;
  • whether the user continues to submit similar content after notice;
  • whether the user has obtained appropriate licenses, permissions, or approvals;
  • applicable law and contractual obligations.

Credkeeper may also remove or disable access to content, restrict publishing privileges, require proof of rights, require compliance review, suspend workflows, or terminate service where Credkeeper believes appropriate.

14. Misrepresentations and Abuse of the Complaint Process

Do not submit false, misleading, abusive, bad-faith, or fraudulent intellectual property complaints.

Do not submit a DMCA notice unless you have a good-faith belief that the challenged use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

Do not submit a counter-notice unless you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.

Anyone who knowingly makes material misrepresentations in a DMCA notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees under applicable law.

Credkeeper may reject, ignore, or take action against abusive, incomplete, inaccurate, automated, duplicative, or bad-faith complaints.

15. Forwarding Notices to Users and Third Parties

Credkeeper may forward DMCA notices, counter-notices, trademark complaints, IP complaints, and related correspondence to affected users, account administrators, legal counsel, compliance contacts, service providers, hosting providers, payment processors, third-party platforms, or other parties as Credkeeper believes appropriate.

A notice may include the complaining party’s name, email address, mailing address, phone number, allegations, and supporting materials.

By submitting a complaint or counter-notice, you authorize Credkeeper to share the information as needed to evaluate, process, respond to, preserve, or resolve the complaint.

16. No Legal Determination by Credkeeper

Credkeeper is not a court, arbitrator, copyright office, trademark office, licensing agency, or legal advisor.

Credkeeper’s decision to remove, disable, restore, preserve, suspend, reject, or leave content available does not mean Credkeeper has made a final legal determination about ownership, infringement, fair use, authorization, validity, priority, likelihood of confusion, or liability.

Credkeeper may act conservatively to protect users, rights holders, service providers, third-party platforms, and Credkeeper.

17. No Waiver of Rights

Credkeeper reserves all rights, claims, defenses, remedies, and protections available under law, contract, equity, platform rules, and applicable policies.

Nothing in this Policy limits Credkeeper’s right to remove content, disable access, suspend accounts, terminate users, preserve evidence, disclose information, enforce agreements, or take other action permitted by law or contract.

18. Relationship to Other Policies

This DMCA / Intellectual Property Policy supplements Credkeeper’s Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Compliance & Content Policy, Content Review Policy, Subscription Terms, Refund Policy, Results Disclaimer, Patents & Trademarks page, checkout terms, order forms, invoices, and any applicable written agreement.

If this Policy conflicts with a signed written agreement between you and Credkeeper, the signed written agreement controls to the extent of the conflict, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
