Intellectual Property & Brand Rights Policy

Peeptown reserves the right, but is not obligated, to investigate any alleged violation of this Intellectual Property & Brand Rights Policy, the Terms of Service, or applicable law. Investigations may be initiated following the receipt of a complaint, information provided by users or rights holders, automated detection systems, or any other information that reasonably indicates a potential violation.

To evaluate a reported matter, Peeptown may request additional information, supporting documentation, proof of ownership, proof of authorization, trademark registrations, copyright registrations, licenses, agreements, identity verification, or any other evidence reasonably necessary to assess the claim or response.

During an investigation, Peeptown may, in its sole discretion and without admitting liability, take temporary or permanent measures to protect the Platform, its users, and the rights of third parties. Such measures may include removing or restricting access to content, disabling images or logos, suspending publishing privileges, limiting account functionality, placing business profiles under review, temporarily disabling claimed profiles, or suspending or terminating user accounts where appropriate.

Peeptown may also decline to process complaints or counter-notifications that are incomplete, unsupported, repetitive, abusive, or submitted without sufficient information. Where appropriate, Peeptown may request that the parties resolve their dispute directly or through a competent court, tribunal, or other legal authority before further action is taken by the Platform.

Nothing in this Policy requires Peeptown to determine legal ownership of intellectual property, adjudicate disputes between private parties, or provide legal advice. Peeptown's review of any complaint or counter-notification is an administrative process intended solely to determine whether action should be taken on the Platform and does not constitute a legal finding regarding ownership, infringement, validity, or liability.

Peeptown reserves the right to preserve records relating to intellectual property complaints, investigations, enforcement actions, communications, and supporting documentation for legal, regulatory, security, audit, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or business continuity purposes, in accordance with applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

The exercise or non-exercise of any enforcement action under this Policy shall not be interpreted as a waiver of any rights available to Peeptown. Peeptown may take immediate action whenever it reasonably believes such action is necessary to protect the Platform, comply with legal obligations, safeguard users, or prevent misuse of the Platform.
