Copyright Policy

Users retain their rights in original content they submit to the Platform.

This may include: QSL card artwork; photographs; station photographs; logos owned by the user; biographies; descriptions; uploaded images; custom designs; and other original material.

Uploading content does not transfer copyright ownership to us.

However, by uploading content, the user grants the Platform a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, resize, encode, process, display, transmit, and distribute that content only as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, secure, promote within the Platform, and improve the Service and its relevant features.

This license does not give us ownership of the user's content.

Subject to legal, security, backup, dispute, and fraud-prevention requirements, this license ends when the content is permanently deleted from the Service and associated backup retention periods have expired.

Users must only upload material that they own or are legally authorized to use.

Users must not upload copyrighted photographs, artwork, logos, illustrations, maps, card designs, or other protected material without appropriate authorization or another lawful basis.

The fact that an image is available on the internet does not automatically mean that it is free to use.

Each user is responsible for ensuring that content submitted through their account does not unlawfully infringe another person's intellectual-property rights.

We respect intellectual-property rights.

A copyright owner or authorized representative who believes that material available through the Platform infringes their rights may submit a complaint through Contact Us.

The complaint should identify: (1) the copyrighted work; (2) the allegedly infringing material; (3) where the material appears on the Platform; (4) sufficient information for us to understand the claim; (5) confirmation that the complainant is the rights holder or authorized to act for the rights holder; and (6) any other information reasonably necessary to investigate the complaint.

We may temporarily restrict or remove disputed content while investigating a complaint.

Submitting a knowingly false copyright complaint may have legal consequences.

Where appropriate, users may be allowed to respond to a complaint or demonstrate their authorization to use the material.

Repeated infringement may result in account restrictions or termination.
