Copyright Policy

FutBaller is a youth-centric platform designed to empower young soccer players, their families, and sports professionals by providing tools to showcase athletic achievements, track progress, and engage in a safe and supportive digital community. Our platform allows users to upload videos, share performance statistics, and connect with coaches, scouts, and teammates in a monitored environment that prioritizes safety and respect

As part of this mission, FutBaller is committed to protecting intellectual property rights while fostering a space for creativity and collaboration. This Copyright Policy governs the use, ownership, and protection of content on the platform, including user-generated content (UGC) such as videos, photos, and music. It outlines the rights and responsibilities of FutBaller, its users, and third parties, ensuring compliance with copyright laws and promoting a fair and respectful community for all participants.

FutBaller combines advanced AI moderation tools with human oversight to uphold its commitment to legal and ethical standards. Users are expected to adhere to these policies to maintain the integrity of the platform and to contribute to a thriving and positive environment for the next generation of soccer talent.


1. Ownership of Content  

1.1 FutBaller’s Intellectual Property  

All software, design, branding, trademarks, and content created or licensed by FutBaller (including logos, user interfaces, and proprietary algorithms) remain the sole property of FutBaller, Inc. These materials are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

1.2 User-Generated Content (UGC)  

Users retain ownership of the original videos, images, and other content they upload to the platform. However, by uploading content to FutBaller, users grant FutBaller a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, display, distribute, modify, and create derivative works of the content as necessary for operating, promoting, and improving the platform. This license ends when the user deletes the content or their account, except for content that:  

  1. Has been shared with other users who have not deleted it.  

  2. FutBaller has already used in marketing, promotions, or other platform functions in reliance on this license.  

Users are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights and permissions to upload and share content on the platform.

2. User-Generated Content and Copyrighted Material  

2.1 Uploading Copyrighted Content  

Users may not upload or share content that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others. This includes, but is not limited to:  

  1. Using music, images, or video clips that are copyrighted and for which the user does not have proper licenses or permissions.  

  2. Uploading game footage or team photos without the consent of the individuals or teams featured.  

FutBaller employs automated tools and manual reviews to detect potentially infringing content. However, users are ultimately responsible for ensuring their uploads comply with copyright laws.

2.2 Music and Third-Party Content  

If a user uploads a video that includes music or other third-party copyrighted material, they must ensure that they have the appropriate license or rights to use that material.  

  1. Licensed Music: Users must provide proof of proper licensing upon request.  

  2. Unauthorized Music or Content: Videos containing unlicensed music or other copyrighted materials may be removed or muted in compliance with applicable copyright laws.  

FutBaller encourages users to utilize music libraries that provide royalty-free or properly licensed music. The platform may also integrate with music licensing partners to simplify the selection of compliant tracks for users.


3. Reporting Copyright Violations  

3.1 Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice  

FutBaller complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and provides a mechanism for copyright owners to report infringing content. If you believe your copyrighted work has been used without authorization, please submit a written notice containing:  

  1. A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.  

  2. The URL or other identifying information about the infringing content.  

  3. Your name, address, email address, and phone number.  

  4. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is unauthorized.  

  5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.  

  6. Your electronic or physical signature.  

Send DMCA takedown notices to:  app@futballer.com

3.2 Counter-Notification  

If you believe that content you uploaded was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notification containing:  

  1. Identification of the removed content and its location before removal.  

  2. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe the content was removed by mistake or misidentification.  

  3. Your name, address, phone number, and email address.  

  4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district and agree to accept service of process from the complainant.  

  5. Your electronic or physical signature.  

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, FutBaller may reinstate the content unless the complainant files legal action within 10 business days.

4. Misuse of Copyright Protections  

FutBaller strictly prohibits the unauthorized use of copyrighted materials on its platform. This includes, but is not limited to, music, images, video clips, logos, trademarks, and other intellectual property for which the user does not have the necessary rights or permissions. Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their uploaded content complies with applicable copyright laws. Any content containing unauthorized use of copyrighted material, such as unlicensed music or third-party branding, will be removed immediately upon detection or notification. In cases of repeated or deliberate infringement, users may face account suspension or termination.

Music is a common feature in user-generated content, and FutBaller encourages its users to employ audio responsibly. Users are advised to use royalty-free music or tracks for which they have obtained proper licensing. To simplify compliance, FutBaller provides access to a curated library of licensed music that users can incorporate into their videos. Any videos found to contain unlicensed or infringing music may be muted or removed from the platform. Repeat violations of this policy may result in enforcement actions, including the suspension of user accounts.

FutBaller enforces copyright compliance through a combination of automated systems and human moderation. Advanced AI tools analyze uploaded content for potential copyright violations by detecting audio, visual, and metadata elements that may correspond to protected works. These tools flag content for review, at which point human moderators assess the flagged material for accuracy and context. This dual-layered approach ensures both efficient and fair enforcement of the platform’s copyright policies.

When copyright violations are detected, FutBaller takes appropriate action to protect intellectual property rights. In most cases, infringing content is removed immediately. Users who unintentionally violate copyright laws may receive a warning and guidance on how to avoid future issues. However, individuals who knowingly or repeatedly upload infringing content may have their accounts suspended or permanently terminated. In severe cases involving deliberate or egregious violations, FutBaller reserves the right to report users to legal authorities for further action.

Users who believe their content has been wrongfully removed due to a copyright claim can file an appeal. The appeals process requires users to provide a detailed description of the removed content, an explanation of why the content complies with copyright laws, and any supporting documentation, such as licenses or proof of ownership. FutBaller’s moderation team reviews all appeals and communicates its decisions within ten business days. If the appeal is found to have merit, the content may be reinstated.

To support its users in navigating copyright compliance, FutBaller offers a range of educational resources. These include materials explaining the basics of copyright law, guidance on finding and using royalty-free media, and in-app tools that help users identify potentially non-compliant content before uploading. By fostering awareness and providing practical solutions, FutBaller seeks to empower its users to create and share content responsibly.

FutBaller remains committed to creating a platform that respects and upholds intellectual property rights while supporting a vibrant community of creative expression. Users are encouraged to review and adhere to this policy to maintain the integrity of the platform and contribute to a positive environment for all participants.

5. Repeat Infringers  

FutBaller maintains a zero-tolerance policy for repeat infringers. Accounts associated with multiple valid copyright violations will be permanently banned in accordance with the United States Copyright Act. Automated systems monitor accounts for repeat violations, and manual reviews confirm enforcement decisions.


6. Educational Resources on Copyright Compliance  

To help users understand and comply with copyright laws, FutBaller provides access to educational resources, including:  

  1. Guidance on selecting royalty-free music and licensing options.  

  2. Tips for creating original content without using third-party materials.  

  3. Information on how copyright law applies to user-generated content.  

These resources are available in the Help Center within the app.

7. Platform Rights and Enforcement  

FutBaller reserves the right to:  

  1. Remove or restrict access to content that violates this Copyright Policy.  

  2. Suspend or terminate accounts involved in repeated copyright violations.  

  3. Cooperate with copyright owners, law enforcement, and legal entities in cases involving infringement.  

All decisions regarding copyright enforcement are made at the sole discretion of FutBaller and are final.

8. Final Provisions  

This Copyright Policy is part of FutBaller’s Terms of Use. By using the platform, you agree to abide by this policy and understand that violations may result in content removal, account suspension, or legal action.
