Copyright Policy

1. User content and rights

All rights to content posted by users through thugg.lol (texts, images, videos, music, logos, branding, etc.) belong to the users or the respective rights holders.

By posting content, you confirm that you have the necessary rights (license, permission, or other legal basis) to use and publicly display it.

thugg.lol does not claim exclusive rights to user content, but receives a limited license to technically process, store, and display it solely to operate the Service, as further described in the Terms of Service.

2. Prohibited content

Users may not post materials that:

• infringe copyrights, related rights, trademarks, logos, or branding;
• use third-party designs, artwork, fonts, music, or videos without rights;
• distribute pirated content (software, games, movies, series, music, books, etc.);
• misrepresent affiliation with a brand, artist, or company without consent.

3. Designated copyright agent

Send copyright notices and counter-notices to our designated agent:

• Agent: thugg.lol Copyright Agent
• Email: [email protected] (subject line: “DMCA notice” or “DMCA counter-notice”)

Email is the fastest route and the one we monitor. Notices sent to any other address may be delayed.

4. What a takedown notice must contain

To be effective, a notice must be in writing and include all of the following. Incomplete notices slow everything down, and we may ask you to resend.

• identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
• the exact URL on thugg.lol of the material you want removed, precise enough for us to locate it (a profile handle alone is usually not enough);
• your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law;
• a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and that under penalty of perjury you are the rights holder or authorized to act on their behalf;
• your physical or electronic signature.

Knowingly filing a false notice can make you liable for damages, including costs and legal fees.

5. How we respond

Upon receiving a complete notice we will, without unreasonable delay:

• remove or disable access to the disputed material;
• notify the user, and forward the notice to them;
• record the complaint against their account;
• restrict features or suspend the account for repeat or severe violations.

We may also ask the user for proof of rights or permission before deciding, and we may restore material if the notice turns out to be invalid.

6. Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the agent in section 3. It must include:

• identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal;
• your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address;
• a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of a court where you live (or, if you are outside the United States, of any judicial district where we may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the complainant;
• your physical or electronic signature.

We forward valid counter-notices to the original complainant. If they do not tell us within 10–14 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material.

7. Repeat infringers

We keep a record of accepted copyright complaints per account. Accounts that accumulate repeated valid complaints are terminated:

• First complaint — content removed, warning to the account owner;
• Second complaint — content removed, publishing features restricted;
• Third complaint — the account is terminated and its content deleted.

A complaint withdrawn by the complainant, or resolved in the user’s favour after a counter-notice, does not count. Severe or commercial-scale infringement may lead to immediate termination. Termination for infringement does not entitle you to a refund of Premium fees.

8. Premium and copyright

Purchasing Premium does not grant any additional rights to other users’ content, templates, design assets, or the thugg.lol brand, except as explicitly stated in the UI and Terms.

Premium provides enhanced technical customization and profile management features, but does not exempt users from copyright and IP obligations.

9. Additional terms

This Copyright Policy is part of the thugg.lol policy set and should be read together with the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. For anything that is not a copyright matter, write to [email protected].

We may update this policy. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated version.
