INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Ownership of Website Content

Intellectual property rights in content on this website remain with their respective owners. liqcrates claims rights only in materials and branding that it owns or is otherwise entitled to control.

Protected materials may include original text, photographs, graphics, videos, logos, design elements, and code, to the extent they qualify for protection under applicable law.

Third-party materials, platform components, licensed software, and customer submissions do not become our property simply because they appear on this website. Applicable third-party licenses and notices remain in effect.

Permitted Website Use

You may browse this website, shop, and use its information for lawful purposes. You may save or print reasonable portions for your own shopping, order records, or personal reference, keeping relevant ownership notices intact.

This permission does not transfer ownership of protected content. Nothing in this policy restricts uses allowed by applicable law, including fair use or fair dealing where applicable, lawful quotation, criticism, commentary, or honest consumer reviews.

Unauthorized Use of Protected Materials

Except where authorized by the relevant rights holder or permitted by law, you must not:

• Reproduce, republish, distribute, or commercially reuse protected website content;
• Reuse protected product photographs, videos, or advertising materials in another business's promotions;
• Alter protected materials or remove ownership notices in a way that infringes rights;
• Use automated collection, copying, or extraction to infringe intellectual property rights;
• Impersonate liqcrates or falsely claim to represent us;
• Use our branding or website content in misleading or fraudulent advertising.

These restrictions apply only to the extent supported by the rights involved and applicable law. They do not prohibit lawful linking, reporting a concern, or sharing an honest account of your shopping experience.

liqcrates Name and Branding

The liqcrates name, logo, and other brand identifiers may be protected under applicable trademark or other laws. This policy does not assert that every brand element is registered or independently protected.

Do not use our branding in a way that falsely suggests ownership, sponsorship, authorization, affiliation, or endorsement. Contact us if you would like permission to use our brand assets beyond uses permitted by law.

Product Images and Descriptions

Product images, descriptions, and brand references must be used with the necessary rights or on another lawful basis. A disclaimer, attribution, or reference to a possible inventory source does not by itself grant permission to use someone else's protected content.

Example photographs or source-inventory images should be clearly identified and accurately explained. This intellectual property policy does not override product descriptions, advertised contents, condition commitments, or other representations made when you purchase.

If you believe an image, description, or brand reference is being used without authorization, please report the specific material using the contact details below.

Customer Reviews and Submitted Content

You retain ownership of the reviews, photographs, videos, and other original content you submit. Please submit only material you created or are authorized to share, respecting other people's intellectual property and privacy rights.

When you voluntarily submit content for public posting through our review features, you give liqcrates a non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to store, display, reproduce, and make technical formatting changes reasonably needed to publish that submission in the intended review context. This permission does not transfer ownership or allow us to change the meaning of your review.

Private support emails, order-issue photographs, and other materials sent for customer service are used to handle the inquiry and related obligations. They are not automatically authorized for public advertising. We will seek separate permission before reusing submitted content in paid ads or other promotional material beyond the context in which it was submitted.

We do not prohibit or penalize honest reviews, or remove them merely because they are critical. We may moderate content that infringes rights, reveals private information, is abusive, or is otherwise unlawful, consistent with applicable law.

Reporting an Intellectual Property Concern

If you believe material on this website infringes rights you own or are authorized to enforce, email us with the subject Intellectual Property Report.

To help us locate and review the issue, please provide:

• Your name and a way to contact you;
• The rights holder's name and your relationship to them, if you are acting on their behalf;
• A description of the work, trademark, or other right involved, with an original source or registration details where relevant and available;
• The exact page URL and identification of the disputed image, text, product listing, or other material;
• An explanation of why you believe the use infringes your rights;
• Supporting information about ownership or authorization, if available.

We may ask for clarification or additional information needed to assess a report. For a formal legal notice, include any statements, contact information, signatures, or other elements required by the procedure you are using.

This email process provides a way to contact liqcrates directly. It does not replace statutory notice requirements or prevent you from using an applicable platform reporting process or legal remedy.

How Reports Are Reviewed

We review the identified material and the information available about the claimed rights, authorization, and applicable legal exceptions.

Depending on the circumstances, we may:

• Ask the reporting party for clarification;
• Request relevant licensing or source information from a supplier or content provider;
• Restrict, correct, or remove disputed material where appropriate;
• Reassess a decision when additional evidence is supplied;
• Take other steps required by applicable law or the relevant platform procedure.

A report is an allegation, not a final determination of infringement. Any removal, restoration, response, or further action will depend on the circumstances and applicable requirements.

Accurate and Good-Faith Reports

Please submit reports honestly and distinguish facts from assumptions. If you discover an error or obtain information that changes your report, contact us so we can update the review.

Use intellectual property reporting for rights-related concerns. You may also contact the same support address about an order or product issue without claiming intellectual property infringement. Good-faith complaints and honest reviews are not prohibited by this policy.

Repeated Infringement or Misuse

Where appropriate and permitted by law, we may remove infringing submissions, limit content-submission features, or restrict access associated with repeated or serious infringement.

Any response should reflect the available evidence and the circumstances. Action under this policy does not remove obligations relating to existing orders, refunds, or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Rights Reserved and Legal Exceptions

Except for permissions expressly provided or rights available under applicable law, this policy does not grant ownership or a license in intellectual property belonging to liqcrates or another rights holder.

Purchasing a physical product does not itself transfer copyright or trademark ownership. Nothing here restricts lawful rights associated with ownership of that product, or other rights and remedies that cannot legally be limited.

A delay in enforcing a right does not by itself waive that right, subject to applicable law.

Policy Updates

We may revise this policy to reflect changes in our website, practices, or applicable requirements. The revision date shown on this page identifies the version.

Updates take effect when published unless another effective date is stated. Later revisions do not retroactively transfer ownership of submitted content, expand permissions already granted without the necessary agreement, or remove rights that cannot legally be excluded.
