Copyright & Intellectual Property Policy

1. Seller obligations

Sellers may only list content they own or are licensed to distribute, and must be able to evidence those rights on request. Listing infringing, counterfeit or unlawfully obtained content is a serious breach of the Seller Terms.

2. Notice and action

We operate a notice-and-action mechanism in line with applicable EU platform rules. Anyone can notify us of content they consider illegal or infringing, using the report link on a listing or by writing to digitalvault.businesse@gmail.com.

We do not operate solely under the United States DMCA; notices are handled under the applicable EU and Maltese framework.

3. What a valid notice must contain

1. Your name and contact details (an email address at minimum).

2. Identification of the work or right you claim is infringed, and evidence of your rights or authority to act.

3. The exact location of the allegedly infringing material — the listing URL, store URL or file reference.

4. A sufficiently substantiated explanation of why the material is unlawful or infringing.

5. A statement that you believe, in good faith and to the best of your knowledge, that the information in the notice is accurate and complete.

4. How we handle notices

We acknowledge notices, assess them in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective way, and may unlist, restrict or remove content, or suspend an account, where the notice is sufficiently substantiated.

Where required, we inform the affected seller of the action and the reasons for it, and we inform the notifier of our decision.

Manifestly unlawful content may be removed immediately, and reported to the competent authorities where the law requires it.

5. Counter-notice and review

A seller whose content has been removed or restricted may submit a counter-statement to digitalvault.businesse@gmail.com, explaining why the content is lawful and licensed, with supporting evidence.

We will review the counter-statement and may restore the content. Where a dispute is genuinely between two parties about ownership or licence scope, we may keep the content unlisted until the parties resolve it or a competent authority decides.

6. Repeat infringement and misuse

Sellers who repeatedly list infringing content will lose selling privileges, and their accounts may be terminated.

Notices that are manifestly unfounded and submitted repeatedly may be suspended from processing after a warning. Submitting knowingly false information may expose you to liability.

7. Records

We keep records of notices, decisions, statements of reasons and related evidence for as long as necessary to handle disputes and to comply with legal obligations.
