Last Updated: 20 May 2026

This Copyright & Intellectual Property Policy explains how WebbyTemplate handles copyright, trademark, design, content ownership, and other intellectual property complaints related to products, files, listings, previews, author submissions, marketplace content, and user activity.

This policy applies to buyers, authors, rights owners, authorized representatives, visitors, and users of WebbyTemplate.

This policy should be read together with WebbyTemplate’s Terms & Conditions, Author Terms & Policy, License Policy, Download & Updates Policy, Refund Policy, Support Policy, Privacy Policy, Help Center articles, and any other applicable WebbyTemplate rules.

By using WebbyTemplate, submitting products, purchasing products, downloading files, or sending an intellectual property complaint, you agree to this policy.

1. Overview

WebbyTemplate is a digital product marketplace where approved authors may submit and sell digital products.

Products may include website templates, themes, UI kits, design assets, graphics, presentations, plugins, code products, illustrations, photos, icons, and other approved digital items.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all products, files, previews, descriptions, demo content, images, fonts, code, plugins, libraries, and related materials they submit are original, properly licensed, and do not infringe the rights of others.

WebbyTemplate respects intellectual property rights and may remove, disable, restrict, or review content that appears to violate copyright, trademark, design rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, license terms, or other legal rights.

2. Intellectual Property Covered by This Policy

This policy may apply to complaints involving:

copyright;
trademark;
design rights;
brand names;
logos;
icons;
fonts;
images;
photos;
illustrations;
graphics;
videos;
audio files;
written content;

UI kits;
themes;
plugins;
source code;
software components;
open-source components;
AI-generated or AI-assisted content;
stock assets;
demo content;
documentation;
other protected materials.

This policy is intended to help WebbyTemplate review intellectual property complaints and marketplace misuse. It does not replace legal advice or court processes.

3. Author Responsibility for Submitted Products

Authors must only submit products and content that they own or have valid rights to distribute through WebbyTemplate.

By submitting a product, the author confirms that:

they own the product or have all required rights and permissions;
the product does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights;
third-party assets are properly licensed;
fonts, images, icons, plugins, libraries, code, and other materials are allowed for marketplace distribution;
any required attribution, notices, or license terms are properly included;
the product does not contain stolen, copied, scraped, or unauthorized material;
the product does not misuse trademarks, brand names, logos, or protected designs;
the product does not contain malware, harmful code, spyware, hidden tracking, or unauthorized data collection.

Authors are responsible for resolving intellectual property disputes related to their products.

4. Third-Party Assets and Licenses

Some products may include or reference third-party assets, such as:

fonts;
icons;
stock photos;
illustrations;
videos;
audio files;
plugins;
code libraries;
frameworks;
templates;
open-source components;
AI-generated content;
external tools or services.

Authors must ensure that any third-party asset included in a product is properly licensed for the intended marketplace use.

If an asset is shown only for preview or demo purposes, the author must clearly disclose that it is not included or may require a separate license.

WebbyTemplate may remove or restrict products that include unauthorized third-party assets or unclear license rights.

5. Who May Submit an Intellectual Property Complaint?

An intellectual property complaint should be submitted only by:

the rights owner;
the copyright owner;
the trademark owner;
the owner of the protected work;
an authorized legal representative;
an authorized agent acting on behalf of the rights owner.

If you are not the rights owner or authorized representative, you should not submit a formal intellectual property complaint.

WebbyTemplate may ask for proof of ownership, proof of authorization, or additional documents before taking action.

6. How to Submit a Complaint

You may submit an intellectual property complaint by contacting WebbyTemplate at:

Email: [email protected]

Where available, WebbyTemplate may also provide an online complaint form, Help Center form, or dashboard-based reporting process.

For author or marketplace follow-up, WebbyTemplate may also use:

Marketplace Email: [email protected]

Please include complete and accurate information so WebbyTemplate can review the complaint properly.

7. Required Complaint Information

To help WebbyTemplate review your complaint, please include:

your full name;
company or organization name, if applicable;
your email address;
your country or region;
whether you are the rights owner or authorized representative;
proof of ownership or authorization;
a description of the original work or protected material;
a link to the original work, registration record, portfolio, publication, product page, or other proof;

a clear explanation of how the WebbyTemplate product infringes your rights;
the specific files, images, code, design elements, text, logo, trademark, or asset involved;

8. Complaint Review Process

After receiving an intellectual property complaint, WebbyTemplate may review:

the complaint details;
proof of ownership;
product listing information;
product files, previews, and descriptions;
author submission history;
buyer access records;
license documentation;
third-party asset claims;
marketplace records;
relevant communications;
applicable laws or platform policies.

WebbyTemplate may contact the complainant, author, buyer, or other relevant parties for clarification.

WebbyTemplate is not required to make a final legal determination about ownership or infringement. WebbyTemplate may take reasonable marketplace action based on available information, risk, policy requirements, legal concerns, and platform safety.

9. Actions WebbyTemplate May Take

After receiving or reviewing an intellectual property complaint, WebbyTemplate may take one or more actions, including:

requesting more information from the complainant;
contacting the author for clarification;
asking the author to provide proof of ownership or license rights;
temporarily hiding or disabling the product;
removing product previews, images, files, or descriptions;
suspending downloads or updates;
disabling sales for the product;
removing the product from search or marketplace listings;
issuing a warning to the author;
holding or reversing author earnings related to the product;
suspending or terminating the author account;
restricting buyer access where legally required;
restoring the product if the complaint is not supported;
taking any other reasonable action to protect WebbyTemplate, rights owners, buyers, authors, and the marketplace.

WebbyTemplate may act before a final legal decision if the complaint appears credible, urgent, legally sensitive, or risky for the platform.

10. Author Notice and Response

Where appropriate, WebbyTemplate may notify the author that an intellectual property complaint has been received.

The author may be asked to provide:

proof of ownership;
proof of license;
source files;
creation records;
purchase receipts for third-party assets;
written permission from rights owners;
open-source license details;
trademark authorization;
explanation of similarities;
evidence that the complaint is incorrect;
other relevant information.

Authors must cooperate with WebbyTemplate during complaint review.

Failure to respond, failure to provide proof, or providing false information may result in product removal, payout holds, account restrictions, or termination.

11. Counter-Notice or Dispute by Author

If an author believes a complaint is incorrect, the author may submit a response or counter-notice to WebbyTemplate.

The response should include:

author name and account details;
product name and product URL;
explanation of why the complaint is incorrect;
proof of original creation or ownership;
proof of valid third-party license;
relevant source files or creation records;
any authorization from the rights owner;
statement that the information provided is accurate.

WebbyTemplate may review the author’s response and decide whether to restore, keep disabled, modify, or permanently remove the product.

In some cases, WebbyTemplate may require the complainant and author to resolve the dispute directly or through legal channels.

12. Repeat Infringement

WebbyTemplate may take stronger action against authors or users who repeatedly submit or distribute infringing content.

Repeat infringement may result in:

product rejection;
product removal;
reduced marketplace visibility;
payout holds;
earnings reversal;
author account suspension;
author account termination;
permanent marketplace ban;
legal action where appropriate.

WebbyTemplate may also restrict new submissions from authors who repeatedly violate intellectual property rules.

13. Author Earnings and Intellectual Property Complaints

If a product is reported, removed, disabled, or confirmed to involve intellectual property issues, WebbyTemplate may hold, delay, reverse, deduct, or adjust author earnings related to that product.

This may apply to:

pending earnings;
available earnings;
withdrawal requests;
payouts under review;
earnings related to refunded orders;
earnings connected to chargebacks or disputes;
earnings connected to legal claims.

WebbyTemplate may also use held amounts to cover refunds, chargebacks, legal costs, buyer claims, platform losses, or other costs related to the intellectual property issue, where permitted by law and policy.

14. Buyer Access and Removed Products

If a purchased product is removed or disabled due to intellectual property, copyright, trademark, legal, security, or policy concerns, buyer access may be affected.

WebbyTemplate may limit, suspend, or cancel:

downloads;
updates;
support;
license access;
product page access;
future access to product files.

If a product is removed for intellectual property reasons, WebbyTemplate may decide whether existing buyers can continue using the product based on the seriousness of the issue, applicable law, the complaint details, and marketplace risk.

Buyers may not continue using a product if continued use would violate law, third-party rights, court orders, or WebbyTemplate policy.

15. Refunds Related to Intellectual Property Issues

If a buyer purchased a product that is later removed or disabled because of confirmed or credible intellectual property concerns, WebbyTemplate may review refund eligibility under the Refund Policy.

Refund decisions may depend on:

purchase date;
download history;
product usage;
type of complaint;
legal risk;
whether the buyer can still lawfully use the product;
whether the product was materially misrepresented;
whether the product files are still available;
whether the issue affects the buyer’s actual use.

Refunds are not automatic unless required by applicable law or WebbyTemplate’s Refund Policy.

16. False or Abusive Complaints

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

False complaints may harm authors, buyers, and the marketplace.

If WebbyTemplate believes a complaint is false, abusive, or submitted in bad faith, WebbyTemplate may:

reject the complaint;
request additional proof;
restore the product;
restrict the complainant’s account;
block future complaints from the complainant;
notify the affected author;
take legal or marketplace action where appropriate.

The complainant may be legally responsible for false statements or bad-faith claims.

17. Trademark and Brand Complaints

Trademark complaints may involve unauthorized use of:

brand names;
company names;
logos;
slogans;
product names;
protected marks;
confusingly similar branding;
misleading affiliation claims.

Authors must not imply that a product is officially endorsed by, affiliated with, sponsored by, or created by a third-party brand unless they have permission.

WebbyTemplate may remove or request changes to product listings that misuse trademarks, brand identities, or protected marks.

18. Copyright Complaints

videos;
audio;

19. Open-Source and GPL-Related Complaints

Some products may include open-source software, libraries, frameworks, or GPL-related components.

Authors must comply with all applicable open-source license terms.

Complaints may be reviewed if a product appears to:

remove required notices;
fail to provide required attribution;
violate redistribution terms;
combine code in a way that violates license obligations;
misrepresent open-source components as fully proprietary;
fail to disclose important open-source requirements.

WebbyTemplate may request additional documentation from the author where open-source licensing questions arise.

20. AI-Generated or AI-Assisted Content

If authors submit AI-generated or AI-assisted content, they remain responsible for ensuring they have the rights required to distribute and sell that content through WebbyTemplate.

AI-generated or AI-assisted products must not copy protected works, imitate protected characters or brands unlawfully, include unauthorized third-party content, or violate marketplace rules.

WebbyTemplate may review, restrict, or remove AI-generated content if it raises intellectual property, originality, quality, legal, or marketplace concerns.

21. No Legal Advice

This policy is provided for marketplace process and informational purposes only.

WebbyTemplate does not provide legal advice.

If you are unsure about your intellectual property rights, product rights, licensing obligations, or legal responsibilities, you should consult a qualified legal professional.

WebbyTemplate may make marketplace decisions based on policy, risk, and available information, but such decisions do not replace a court or legal authority.

22. Preservation of Records

WebbyTemplate may retain records related to intellectual property complaints, product submissions, removed products, support tickets, buyer orders, author earnings, communications, files, and marketplace actions where necessary.

Records may be retained for:

legal compliance;
dispute resolution;
fraud prevention;
account enforcement;
