By using our Services, you agree to abide by the following terms of use ("Terms and Conditions").

Please read these Terms and Conditions before accepting them.

1. The Company

I. World IP Registration House Ltd., (the owner of Copyright House) claims no ownership, intellectual property rights, or any other rights over your submitted material. By registering for an account, you will be able to upload your creative materials. You will receive a date and time proof (copyright certificate) of the existence of your copyrighted work in order to help you prove that you are the creator of the work in case of infringement.

II. All reasonable care will be taken over copyrighted works sent to us. Works uploaded by you onto our system are not opened by any of the Copyright House staff unless you request us to do so. Apart from storing  real copies of your work in our secure archives, your works will also be encrypted and securely stored to ensure the safety of your work and proof of registration.

III. Copyright House may make any changes to its websites and promotional literature about its services, that it believes necessary to correct errors or omissions, without any liability to the client.

IV. Copyright House may make duplicates of registered works to be deposited with a notary of public. All duplicates will be treated as highly confidential.

V. Copyright House reserves the right to vary subscription fees from time to time. However, any such changes made will not be applicable to subscriptions already paid. Recurring subscriptions will automatically be charged at the same amount for each following recurring payment. However, if your recurring payments cannot be made by our payment processors, then it will be necessary to create a new recurring payment. This new recurring payment may not be the same amount as your original recurring payment. To prevent interruption of your recurring payments, we advise you to ensure that there are a) enough funds in your PayPal account, b) that your card details that the PayPal or Stripe payment processor holds are up-to-date, c) that your email address that PayPal/Stripe holds are up-to-date and d) to read any emails that PayPal/Stripe may send to you to inform you that the next recurring payment could not be made.

VI. Any information supplied to Copyright House will be treated as strictly confidential. However, Copyright House is not responsible for the confidentiality of any information that is already in the public domain or becomes available to the public in the future.

VII. Copyright House will not be liable for any loss, damage or costs that may arise from the fault of a subscriber such as illegibility or inaccuracy of supplied information or client-side computer errors affecting uploads. It is your responsibility to check that the details on your file has been uploaded correctly. This can be done immediately after submitting your file or by contacting us.

VIII. Should any delay or failure of services provided by Copyright House occur that are beyond the company's control, Copyright House will not be deemed liable or in breach of contract.

IX. Copyright House offers an independent third-party proof of copyright. Should an infringement occur, then Copyright House can provide evidence of copyright ownership and an affidavit at the price charged by the legal professional for this service. All legal fees and prove of copyright ownership in a court of law are the responsibility of the subscriber. Registration does not create copyright. By law copyright already exists from the moment your work has been put into a tangible form. Registration of your work with Copyright House creates an independent third-party proof that you were in possession of the work on the date of registration.

X. In the case of infringement Copyright House can send out DMCA take-down notices to website owners on your behalf. In this case, the date of registration must be before the date of the infringement. Work registered after infringement has taken place does not serve as valid proof that you were in possesssion of the work before the infringement took place. In this situation, therefore, DMCA take-down notices cannot be served on your behalf.

XI. Copyright House may make any changes to its services that do not affect its provided services, in order to comply with any statutory requirements or safety issues, without notifying its subscribers.

XII. In the unlikely event that Copyright House stops trading, our existing client-base will be handed over to another reputable company. All existing subscriptions will be honoured, all submitted works will continue to be protected, new works may be submitted for copyright protection.

XIII. All registered works are by default mentioned in the Copyright House Directory of Registered Works. The directory aids to prove that you have registered your works with Copyright House. The only information which is visible to the public is the title of the work, the abbreviated name of the author/artist/composer, the date and time that the works have been registered and their registration IDs. The directory does not allow the general public to see your works or to listen to your works. Also, your mention in the directory is not compulsory. If you would like your works not to be mentioned in the directory, then you can disable this option from within your Copyright House account.

XIV. Copyright House stores uploaded files securely. However, it is not a file storage facility. File retrieval requests may incur an extra charge. We recommend that you always keep copies of your work on separate USB sticks or USB drives and store them securely.

2. Subscribers

I. In order to become a user, you will be asked to select a unique username and password and to provide other personal details, including your email address. Copyright House will not share your personal information, including your email address, with others.

II. You agree not to impersonate somebody else.

III. We advise you to keep your username and password secure and not to reveal them to anyone else. However, if someone else would get hold of these login details and log into your account, then they would not be able to view, listen to or download any of your registered works.

IV. You affirm that you are the creator of the work for which you register copyright. You agree not to register work which is the intellectual property of someone else. It is an offence to claim to be the creator of another person's work. If you knowingly upload work which is the intellectual property of another person, then you will provide Copyright House compensation for any loss, damage or costs incurred by Copyright House. Only original work created by yourself can be uploaded into your copyright account. It is not the responsibility of Copyright House to check the validity of registered works.

IVa. Copyright House cannot act as an arbitrator in such disputes as they must be resolved by a legal entity.

IVb. Copyright House reserves the right to temporarily suspend a registered work in the event of a legal dispute until such time as the dispute is legally resolved.

V. You should be aware that you can only register works that come under the category of copyright, i.e. not trade marks, industrial designs or patents. It is your responsibility to check the category that your work falls into. If you are in any doubt about this, then we advise you to consult a legal professional, or contact the Intellectual Property Office in your country. Copyright House is not responsible for checking this.

VI. Your subscription will only be valid for the period for which you have paid. Subscriptions made in instalments should be completed in full. If you cancel recurring payments (where applicable) before the total amount is paid, then your registration certificate(s) will not be valid. Copyright House will therefore not be able to prove that you are the owner of the work(s). Purchasing the Single Registration Valid for Life option means there is no recurring payment and your copyright registration is valid for life.

VII. You agree that you keep your email address and personal details up-to-date, so that we can remind you of any recurring payments due. These details also enable us to contact you if we need to ask any questions about your registered works.

IX. Refund policy. If you would like to cancel your account within 30 days of your account creation, then please contact us. We will delete your account and its registered works. We will refund your payment.

X. You agree not to upload viruses and other malware and not to hack, corrupt, or tamper with the system. If Copyright House determines that you have done any of the above, then Copyright House reserves the right to restrict access to your account.

XI. If you cannot access or use your account immediately after creating it, then please contact us to request manual activation. We will activate your account as soon as possible. Please do not pay twice if you think that your transaction has been successful. You can contact us through the contact form or by phone.

XII. If you live outside of the UK, your country may have their own copyright office. In that case you need to check with the official office whether it would be necessary to register your work in your country in order to be able to file a court case in that jurisdiction.

3. General

I. These terms and conditions constitute the complete agreement between Copyright House and its subscribers. All other terms and conditions expressed by statute or otherwise are excluded to the fullest extent of the law.

II. You agree to indemnify Copyright House in full against any loss or penalty that incurs because of your breach of any of these provisions.

III. If any one of these terms and conditions are considered to be invalid by a competent authority, the remaining terms and conditions will be unaffected.

IV. These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and the parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

V. The World IP Registration House Ltd. is a private limited company registered in England, company no. 07058007.
