30 CLUB COPYRIGHT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COMPLAINT POLICY
Effective date: August 4, 2026
Last updated: August 4, 2026
Design
30 Club respects intellectual property rights and expects users to publish only content they are legally authorized to publish. This Policy explains how copyright, trademark and related intellectual property complaints may be submitted regarding content available through design30.club and its related services.
1. Operator and contact
The Service is operated by:
PE Krasilnikov Vladimir
Komitas 36G
Yerevan, Republic of Armenia
Email: support@design30.club
Copyright and intellectual property complaints should use the subject line:
"Intellectual Property Complaint"
2. Scope of this Policy
This Policy applies to complaints concerning:
copyright;
trademarks;
design rights;
rights in illustrations, photographs and video;
unauthorized use of protected creative work;
unauthorized distribution of protected material;
plagiarism;
attribution disputes;
certain privacy and publicity rights connected with uploaded content. A contractual dispute, unpaid invoice, employment dispute or disagreement over authorship may require resolution directly between the affected parties or through a court. Design
30 Club is not a court and does not determine final ownership of disputed intellectual property.
3. User responsibility
Users may upload only content that they created or are legally authorized to publish. Each user is responsible for:
obtaining required licenses;
obtaining client or employer permission;
complying with nondisclosure obligations;
obtaining permission from co-authors;
respecting stock-content licenses;
respecting font, music, video and template licenses;
confirming the permitted use of AI-generated or AI-assisted materials;
ensuring that publication does not violate intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights. Design
30 Club does not verify ownership of every upload before publication.
4. Copyright complaint requirements
A copyright complaint should include:
1. the complainant's full legal name;
2. the complainant's email address;
3. sufficient contact information;
4. identification of the copyrighted work;
5. a link to an authorized example of the original work, where available;
6. the exact URL or location of the allegedly infringing content on Design
30 Club;
7. an explanation of why the use is believed to be unauthorized;
8. information showing that the complainant is the rights holder or authorized representative;
9. a statement that the complaint is made in good faith;
10. a statement that the information provided is accurate;
11. a physical or electronic signature. A complaint covering multiple works should clearly identify each work and each allegedly infringing Design
30 Club URL.
General references to an entire profile, website or challenge may be insufficient.
5. Authorized representatives
A lawyer, agency, licensing organization or other representative may submit a complaint for a rights holder. We may request:
written authorization;
proof of representation;
identification of the rights holder;
evidence of ownership;
additional contact information.
6. What happens after a complaint
After receiving a complaint, Design
30 Club may:
confirm receipt;
request additional information;
review the identified content;
temporarily restrict the content;
remove the content;
contact the user who uploaded it;
forward relevant portions of the complaint to the user;
ask the parties to resolve the dispute;
restore the content;
reject the complaint;
preserve evidence;
suspend or terminate the user;
take another action considered reasonably appropriate. Submitting a complaint does not guarantee removal. We may decline to act where a complaint is:
incomplete;
vague;
unsupported;
outside the scope of this Policy;
clearly abusive;
fraudulent;
submitted by a person without authority;
based only on similarity that does not reasonably establish infringement;
subject to an unresolved ownership dispute requiring legal determination.
7. Temporary restriction
We may temporarily restrict content while reviewing a complaint. Temporary restriction does not mean that Design
30 Club has concluded that infringement occurred. We are not liable for temporarily restricting, removing or restoring content in good faith to the maximum extent permitted by law.
8. Notice to the affected user
Where appropriate and lawful, we may notify the user whose content is affected. The notice may include:
the identity of the complainant;
the work claimed to be protected;
the reason for the complaint;
the affected URL;
instructions for responding;
information about submitting a counter-notice. We may withhold information where disclosure could create a security, privacy or legal risk.
9. Counter-notice
A user who believes that content was removed or restricted by mistake may submit a counter-notice. The counter-notice should include:
1. the user's full legal name;
2. the email address connected to the account;
3. identification of the removed or restricted content;
4. the location where it appeared;
5. an explanation of why the content was removed by mistake;
6. evidence of ownership, authorization, license, exception or other lawful basis;
7. a statement that the information is accurate and submitted in good faith;
8. consent to the disclosure of the counter-notice to the original complainant where legally permitted;
9. a physical or electronic signature. Send the counter-notice to support@design30.club with the subject line:
"Intellectual Property Counter-Notice."
10. Restoration
After receiving a sufficiently complete counter-notice, Design
30 Club may:
forward it to the complainant;
request further evidence;
keep the content restricted;
restore the content;
require the parties to obtain a court order;
take no further action;
take another action required by applicable law. Content may be restored if the complainant does not provide evidence of formal legal proceedings within a reasonable period requested by Design
30 Club. Restoration is discretionary except where applicable law requires a particular procedure.
11. Repeat infringement
Design
30 Club may maintain records of substantiated complaints and enforcement actions. We may restrict or terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights. Factors may include:
the number of substantiated complaints;
the seriousness of the infringement;
whether violations appear intentional;
whether the user attempted to evade enforcement;
whether the user supplied false information;
whether the user has a history of plagiarism;
court orders or government requests;
other relevant circumstances. There is no guaranteed number of warnings before suspension or termination. Serious or intentional infringement may result in immediate termination. A terminated user may not create another account without written permission.
12. Trademark complaints
A trademark complaint should include:
the owner's name;
the trademark;
registration number and jurisdiction, where registered;
the goods or services protected;
the allegedly infringing content;
the exact Design
30 Club URL;
an explanation of likely confusion or other unlawful use;
evidence of authority;
a good-faith and accuracy statement;
a signature. Not every use of a trademark is infringement. Descriptive, editorial, comparative, artistic or nominative uses may be lawful depending on context and applicable law.
13. Plagiarism complaints
A plagiarism complaint should identify:
the original work;
the allegedly copied work;
publication dates where available;
the copied elements;
evidence that the complainant created or controls the original work. Plagiarism may violate Community Guidelines even where the dispute does not amount to legally actionable copyright infringement. We may remove or disqualify plagiarized challenge submissions under our platform rules independently of a formal copyright determination.
14. Privacy, image and publicity complaints
A person may also report content that allegedly uses their:
image;
likeness;
name;
private information;
private communications;
personal data without authorization. The report should identify the content, the affected person and the reason the use is unlawful or unauthorized. We may request identity verification.
15. False or abusive complaints
You must not knowingly submit:
a false complaint;
a misleading complaint;
fabricated evidence;
a complaint intended to harass a user;
a complaint concerning rights you do not control;
repeated complaints already resolved without new evidence. A person submitting a false or materially misleading complaint may be responsible for resulting damage, costs or legal consequences. We may suspend accounts or reject future complaints from persons who abuse the process.
16. Disclosure and privacy
Information submitted in a complaint or counter-notice may be disclosed to:
the affected user;
the complainant;
legal advisers;
service providers;
courts;
regulators;
law-enforcement authorities;
other parties where legally necessary. Do not include information that is not necessary to the complaint. Complaint records may be retained for legal compliance, fraud prevention, enforcement and dispute resolution.
17. European Union illegal-content notices
A person submitting a notice concerning content allegedly illegal in the European Union should provide:
a sufficiently substantiated explanation of why the content is illegal;
the exact electronic location of the content;
the reporting person's name and email, except where applicable law permits or requires omission;
a good-faith statement that the information is accurate and complete. Where the Digital Services Act applies, Design
30 Club will process notices and provide acknowledgements, decisions or appeal information as required by applicable law.
18. No waiver of rights
Design
30 Club may remove content for violating the Terms or Community Guidelines even if no legal infringement has been conclusively established. The decision not to remove content does not represent a finding that the content is lawful. Nothing in this Policy:
determines final ownership;
waives a party's legal rights;
prevents a party from seeking a court order;
creates a duty to monitor all content;
creates an attorney-client relationship;
constitutes legal advice.
19. United States DMCA status
This Policy provides a voluntary global process for receiving and responding to intellectual property complaints. Unless Design
30 Club separately publishes a designated DMCA agent and completes any required registration with the United States Copyright Office, this Policy does not represent that Design
30 Club has designated a DMCA agent or qualifies for United States DMCA safe-harbor protection. If Design
30 Club appoints a designated agent in the future, this section and the applicable notice procedure may be updated.
20. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect:
changes to the Service;
new content types;
legal requirements;
new reporting tools;
appointment of a DMCA agent;
business restructuring;
changes to moderation practices. Material changes may be communicated by email, account notification or website notice.
