Sklash Copyright & Intellectual Property Policy
How Sklash handles claimed infringement, user responsibility, preservation, notice routing, and repeat infringement.
Overview
What this means in practice
Explore the systems, responsibilities, and workflows behind this part of Sklash.
Structured notices
Claimants can identify the work, their interest, the Sklash location, claimed infringement, and occurrence information through the notice form.
Neutral review
A notice is evidence of a claim, not proof. Copyright intake remains separate from automatic account-strike decisions.
Repeat infringement
Sklash may restrict or terminate accounts engaged in repeated or serious infringement, subject to available evidence and applicable law.
User obligations
Only publish material you are entitled to use.
Users are responsible for determining whether they have the copyright, trademark, licence, consent, authorization, or other rights needed for their use. Sklash does not pre-clear ownership merely because an upload succeeds.
Claimed infringement notices
Copyright claims should use Sklash’s dedicated notice process.
The Sklash notice form requests claimant identity/contact information, identification of the work or subject matter, the claimant’s interest, the electronic location, the claimed infringement, and claimed date/time information. Sklash may request additional information needed to evaluate or lawfully route a notice.
The notice channel must not be used to transmit prohibited settlement/payment demands or improper demands for another user’s personal information.
Preservation and routing
Sklash may preserve notice and subscriber-identification records where applicable obligations require it.
Copyright notices, routing history, account identifiers, and related evidence may be preserved separately from ordinary account data when needed to comply with applicable copyright obligations, investigate repeated infringement, handle disputes, or satisfy a legal hold.
Where applicable law requires forwarding a compliant notice or retaining identifying records for a prescribed period, Sklash will operate the notice workflow accordingly. The policy does not promise disclosure of subscriber information without lawful authority.
Enforcement and mistakes
Copyright enforcement is evidence-based and can be reviewed.
Sklash may restrict or remove material where appropriate, but receipt of a notice alone does not necessarily determine the merits of the claim. Misidentification, licensing disputes, public-domain questions, fair dealing/fair use questions, and ownership disputes may require additional review or legal resolution.

The structured form keeps copyright allegations distinct from general abuse reports and preserves the information needed for review.
