However, to the extent that any user-generated content is voluntarily submitted to COLORADDICTED™ — including product reviews, photographs, feedback, or social media content tagging or referencing COLORADDICTED.COM™ — the submitting party represents and warrants that they hold all necessary rights to such content, and grants COLORADDICTED™ a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual licence to display such content in connection with its business and marketing activities.

COLORADDICTED™ respects the intellectual property rights of third parties. Any third-party intellectual property referenced or displayed on this website remains the property of its respective owners. Nothing on this website shall be construed as granting any rights in third-party intellectual property.

COLORADDICTED™ takes all reports of intellectual property infringement seriously and will act promptly upon receipt of valid notices.

If you believe that any content on this website infringes your intellectual property rights, please submit a written notice through our Contact Us page.

SECTION 10 — ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS

COLORADDICTED™ actively monitors for unauthorized use of its intellectual property and reserves the right to take all available legal action against infringers, including but not limited to:

• Issuing DMCA takedown notices to hosting providers, platforms, search engines, and domain registrars
• Issuing cease and desist notices to infringing parties
• Pursuing civil proceedings for injunctive relief, damages, disgorgement of profits, and recovery of legal costs
• Reporting infringement to relevant law enforcement authorities where criminal liability may arise
• Pursuing enforcement actions in any jurisdiction where infringement occurs or produces effects

Certain acts of copyright infringement constitute criminal offences under applicable law, in addition to giving rise to civil liability.

The failure of COLORADDICTED™ to act in response to any particular instance of infringement shall not constitute a waiver of any right and shall not be construed as permission or acquiescence with respect to any other use.

SECTION 11 — GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

This policy and all intellectual property rights asserted herein are governed by the laws of the Hellenic Republic and the applicable law of the European Union, including EU Directive 2019/790 on Copyright in the Digital Single Market.

For the purposes of enforcement against content hosted on or distributed through United States-based platforms, COLORADDICTED™ additionally invokes the applicable provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512).

Nothing in this clause limits the right of COLORADDICTED™ to seek enforcement in any jurisdiction where infringement occurs or produces effects. The rights asserted in this policy are recognized internationally under the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and other applicable international treaties.

SECTION 12 — GENERAL PROVISIONS

SEVERABILITY: If any provision of this policy is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

NO WAIVER: No failure or delay by COLORADDICTED™ in exercising any right under this policy shall constitute a waiver of that right.

UPDATES TO THIS POLICY: This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, business practices, or the scope of intellectual property claimed. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of this website following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
