Intellectual Property Policy
Last updated: March 4, 2026
YBuffet Inc. respects the intellectual property rights of others and requires all users of the Platform to do the same. This policy covers copyright, trademark, and counterfeiting. It applies to all content posted, shared, or promoted on the Platform.
1. Copyright
Copyright is a legal right that protects original works of authorship, including text, images, videos, software, and other creative works. Copyright protects the specific expression of an idea, not the underlying idea or fact itself.
Copyright Infringement: We do not allow content that infringes another person's copyright. Unauthorized use of copyrighted content without a legally valid reason may violate YBuffet's policies and applicable law. Not all unauthorized uses constitute infringement - fair use, fair dealing, and other exceptions may apply depending on your jurisdiction.
Repeat Infringers: YBuffet has adopted and implemented a repeat infringer policy. Users who repeatedly infringe copyright will have their accounts suspended or permanently terminated. We reserve the right to immediately terminate accounts in cases of severe copyright violations.
2. Filing a Copyright Infringement Report
If you believe a user is infringing your copyright on the Platform, we encourage you to first contact the user directly for a quick resolution. You may also submit a copyright infringement report to grow@ybuffet.com. Your report must include:
Your full legal name and contact information (address, phone, email)
A description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed
The URL or specific location of the allegedly infringing content on the Platform
A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information you have provided is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf
Failure to provide all required information may result in your report being delayed or denied. Intentionally submitting a false or misleading report may result in liability for damages under applicable law.
3. Copyright Infringement Appeals
If your content has been removed due to a copyright report and you believe this was in error, or you believe you are authorized to use the content, you may:
Contact the copyright owner directly to request a retraction
Submit a counter-notification to grow@ybuffet.com with your contact information, identification of the removed content, a statement under penalty of perjury that the content was removed in error or that you have the right to post it, and your consent to jurisdiction in Delaware
We will review counter-notifications and reinstate content where appropriate, subject to applicable law. We reserve the right to make final determinations at our sole discretion.
4. Trademark
A trademark is a word, symbol, slogan, design, or combination thereof that identifies the source of a product or service and distinguishes it from others.
Trademark Infringement: Trademark laws prohibit the unauthorized use of an identical or similar trademark in connection with goods or services in a way likely to cause confusion about the source or affiliation of those goods or services. Using another's trademark to accurately and lawfully reference, comment on, criticize, or compare their products is generally not a violation of this policy.
Counterfeiting: The manufacture, distribution, sale, or promotion of counterfeit goods, including counterfeit documents such as fake degrees, certifications, or licenses, is strictly prohibited on the Platform and will result in immediate account termination.
5. Filing a Trademark Infringement Report
If you believe a user is infringing your trademark on the Platform, you may submit a report to grow@ybuffet.com including:
Your full legal name and contact information
A description of the trademark at issue and evidence of your ownership
The URL or specific location of the allegedly infringing content on the Platform
A description of how the content infringes your trademark
A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is unauthorized
A statement that the information provided is accurate
6. General Notes
YBuffet is not able to adjudicate legal disputes between third parties and may not be able to remove content or suspend accounts in all cases. Users with questions about whether their content infringes another's rights should consult a qualified attorney. Rightholders unsure whether content violates their rights may also wish to seek legal advice before submitting a report.
