Content Rights

When you upload or post content, you keep your rights in it. You grant One Sun Holdings, LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, adapt, display, perform, distribute and make that content available, only as needed to operate, provide, improve and promote FaithUploaded. “Adapt” covers technical changes such as converting video into formats that play on different devices, making thumbnails and previews, and resizing images; it does not let us change what your content says.

You also allow other users to view, listen to and read your content through FaithUploaded, within the limits of the features we offer and the audience you choose. Content you share only with an organization’s members, a group or one person is shown only to them. Nobody receives a right to download or reuse your content outside FaithUploaded unless you give it to them yourself.

The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except that (a) copies may remain in our backups for a limited time before they are overwritten, (b) messages you sent remain in the conversations of the people who received them, and (c) we may keep content where the law requires us to, or to resolve a dispute about it.

Upload content only if at least one of these is true:

• you created it and have not given the rights to someone else;
• you have permission from everyone who owns rights in it, preferably in writing;
• it is in the public domain; or
• the law allows your use without permission (for example, fair use in the United States). Fair use depends on the facts of each case. Crediting the owner, adding a disclaimer, or not charging for the content does not by itself make a use fair.

If you post on behalf of a church or organization, you confirm that you are authorized to do so and that the organization holds the rights described above.

Do not upload recordings of people who have not agreed to appear, especially children, without the permission of the person or of a parent or guardian.

We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). If you believe content on FaithUploaded infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, send a written notice to our copyright agent (section 9) that includes:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. a description of the copyrighted work you say is infringed (or, if several works are covered by one notice, a representative list of them);
3. a description of the material you say is infringing, with enough information for us to find it, such as the web address (URL) of each item;
4. your name, postal address, telephone number and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
6. a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

When we receive a complete notice, we remove the material or disable access to it promptly and tell the person who posted it, including a copy of the notice. That copy may include your name and the contact details you gave us, so that the person can contact you or send a counter-notice.

Before you send a notice, consider whether the use may be fair or otherwise permitted. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. You may withdraw a notice at any time by writing to our copyright agent.

To report something that is not a copyright matter, such as harassment or impersonation, use Report in the app or contact us through the Help Center.

If you believe your content was removed because of a mistake or because it was misidentified, you may send our copyright agent a counter-notice that includes:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. a description of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. your name, postal address and telephone number; and
5. a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal district court for the judicial district where your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which One Sun Holdings, LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or that person’s agent.

We send a copy of the counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless that person tells us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to stop the activity, we restore the material between 10 and 14 business days after we received the counter-notice. The same warning about misrepresentation in section 5 applies to counter-notices.

We terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright, in appropriate circumstances. Each complete notice we act on counts against the account that posted the material, unless it is withdrawn or answered by a counter-notice that is not followed by a court action. An account with three such notices within twelve months will be terminated, and we may terminate an account sooner where the infringement is serious or deliberate. This applies to organization accounts in the same way as to personal accounts.

Concerns about trademarks, impersonation, or the use of your name or image are not handled under the copyright process above. Send them to support@onlyfollowers.org with the details, and we will review them under our Terms of Service and the law that applies.

Rights holders outside the United States may use the same process. We review each notice under the law that applies to it.

Please put “Copyright notice” or “Counter-notice” in the subject line, so it reaches the right person quickly.

We may update this page as the law or our services change. The date at the top shows when it last changed. If a change materially affects the permission you have given us, we will tell you before it takes effect.

This page explains our policies. It is not legal advice; if you are unsure whether you may use something, ask the owner or a lawyer.
