VERSION 1.1 · EFFECTIVE 15 SEPTEMBER 2026
Who owns what on inaff, how to report material that infringes your copyright, how to contest a removal, and what happens to accounts that keep doing it. Written against the notice-and-takedown procedure in 17 U.S.C. section 512 and the equivalent obligations under the EU Digital Services Act.
DRAFT — NOT THE FINAL PUBLISHED VERSION
The operating entity, the governing jurisdiction and the designated copyright agent are not filled in yet, so every place this document names one reads as unfinished. Fill in legal/entity.json and re-run node legal/sync.mjs before launch.
The inaff application, the website, the design system, the scenario questions, the quest library, the interface copy and the name inaff are owned by Inaff App or its licensors and are protected by copyright and trade mark law.
You may use the Service as it is offered. You may not copy, adapt, translate, republish, sell or create derivative works from any part of it, and you may not use our name, logo or design in a way that suggests we endorse you, without written permission.
You keep ownership of everything you upload — your photographs, your written answers, your video diaries and your feed posts. Uploading it does not transfer it to us.
You grant us the limited licence described in section 8 of the Terms of Service: to host, store, reproduce, transmit and display your content for the sole purpose of running the Service. It ends when you delete the content or your account. It does not allow us to sell your content, license it onward for advertising, or publish it anywhere else.
By uploading, you confirm that you hold the rights you need. If you appear in a photograph with somebody else, you confirm that they agreed to it being here.
If you own the copyright in material that has been posted on inaff without your permission, or you are authorised to act for the owner, you may send us a notice and we will remove or disable access to the material expeditiously if the notice is valid.
Send the notice through a ticket at inaff.app/support and mark it as a copyright matter. It bypasses the automated first line and goes to a person. Our designated agent for notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act is Inaff Copyright Agent, Your Real Address or Registered Agent Address, copyright@inaff.app, +1 Your Real Working Phone Number.
A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed — or, if several works at one site are covered by a single notice, a representative list of them.
Identification of the material you say is infringing, described precisely enough for us to find it: the profile, the post, the message thread or the exact screen it appears on.
Your contact details: name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or are authorised to act for the owner.
A notice missing any of these may not be effective, and we may come back to you for the rest rather than act on an incomplete one.
Under 17 U.S.C. section 512(f), a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees.
This procedure is for copyright. It is not a route for removing a photograph of yourself that somebody else took and owns, for settling an argument, or for unmasking another member. If a photograph of you has been posted without your agreement, report it as a privacy or harassment matter instead — that is a faster route and it does not require you to claim a copyright you do not hold.
We remove or disable access to the material, usually within a few business days of receiving a complete notice.
We tell the member whose content was removed what happened, give them a copy of the notice, and tell them how to file a counter-notice. Where the law requires a statement of reasons, they receive one.
We record the notice against the account, because the repeat-infringer policy in section 8 depends on being able to count.
If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice through the same route. It must contain: your signature; identification of the material and where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; your name, address and telephone number; and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district where you live, or, if you are outside the United States, of any district in which we may be found, together with your agreement to accept service from the person who sent the original notice.
If we receive a valid counter-notice we forward it to the original complainant. Unless they tell us within ten business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you, we may restore the material in ten to fourteen business days.
We will not restore material that breaches the Community Guidelines for some other reason, whatever the copyright position turns out to be.
We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of members who repeatedly infringe copyright.
In practice: a notice that is not successfully contested counts as a strike, three strikes terminate the account, and a single deliberate large-scale infringement may terminate it immediately. A strike that is withdrawn, or one you defeat with a counter-notice, does not count.
Termination under this section may be appealed like any other, through the route in the Terms.
Report misuse of a trade mark through the same route, marked as a trade mark matter. Tell us the mark, the registration number and jurisdiction if it is registered, where it is being misused, and why the use is likely to confuse people.
Nominative use — a member saying which shop they went to, or which band they like — is not infringement, and we will not remove it.
The application and the website include open-source software used under its own licences. The full list of components and licences is available on request through a ticket, and is included in the application package where the licence requires it.
Quests supplied by venues are the venue's content. A venue confirms, when it submits one, that it holds the rights to everything in it.
All notices under this policy: a ticket at inaff.app/support, marked as a copyright matter.
Designated agent: Inaff Copyright Agent, Your Real Address or Registered Agent Address, copyright@inaff.app, +1 Your Real Working Phone Number.
Operator: Inaff App, Your Real Address or Registered Agent Address.
QUESTIONS
Open a ticket at /support and say it is a legal matter. It goes straight to a person — the automatic first line is not allowed to touch legal, press, safety or data-access requests. There is no email address, for us or for you: a legal question sent by mail arrives with no case file and no way to prove later what was asked or when.
