Copyright & Intellectual Property Policy

Last updated: October 28, 2026


Ownership of website and app content

The MineralCache websites, applications, brand, text, graphics, logos, UI elements, compilations, and other materials we make available (“MineralCache Materials”) are owned by MineralCache or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the MineralCache Materials, except as permitted by law or the applicable third-party license.

Vendor & user content

Vendors and users may upload listings, descriptions, photos, videos, and other content (“User Content”). You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to the User Content you submit and that your submission and use on MineralCache do not infringe the rights of any third party, including copyrights, trademarks, rights of publicity, or privacy.

You are solely responsible for your User Content. Do not upload content you did not create or do not have permission to use. Avoid using watermarked assets, scraped images, or materials created by others without a valid license.

License you grant to MineralCache

You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant MineralCache a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, transmit, display and otherwise process that content only as necessary to provide and secure the Services you use, enforce our policies and comply with law. Display and delivery follow the content's intended audience and access controls. We may authorize our service providers to perform those activities for us, limited to that purpose. This license does not authorize unrelated advertising use of private messages, support attachments or precise cache locations. It lasts only as needed for those purposes, including the retention described in our Privacy Policy. You must have the rights needed to submit your content.

Prohibited IP-infringing content

  • Content that copies or closely imitates another creator’s photos, media, or text without permission.
  • Use of third-party trademarks in a way likely to cause confusion about source, affiliation, or sponsorship.
  • Uploads that include another person’s name, likeness, or personal data without consent.
  • Counterfeit goods or listings that misrepresent origin, authorship, or authenticity.

Trademarks

“MineralCache” and associated logos are trademarks or service marks of MineralCache. Third-party names, logos, and marks are the property of their respective owners and used for identification only. Any use of MineralCache marks requires our prior written permission.

Copyright takedown requests

If you believe material on MineralCache infringes your copyright, your notice should include:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
  • Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (URL, listing, cache, show or message reference). Do not include passwords or private access tokens.
  • Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, email).
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Send notices to: legal@mineralcache.com.

Upon receiving a compliant notice, we may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and notify the affected user or vendor.

Counter-notice procedure

If your content was removed after a copyright complaint and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, your counter-notice should include:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed and the location where it previously appeared.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address and will accept service of process from the original complainant.

Send counter-notices to: legal@mineralcache.com.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the content unless the complainant informs us they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Repeat infringer policy

MineralCache may, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, terminate or suspend accounts of users and vendors determined to be repeat infringers. We may also remove content alleged to infringe without prior notice.

Third-party materials

The site may include links to or embeddings of third-party content. MineralCache does not control and is not responsible for such materials. Use of third-party content may be subject to separate terms and licenses.

Open-source software and map data

Third-party software, fonts and map data remain subject to their own licenses. Those licenses control your rights in those materials; our proprietary restrictions do not override permissions they grant. See Third-Party Notices and map attribution. User uploads do not become MineralCache-owned material merely because the Services display them.

Reporting IP concerns

If you have questions about this policy or wish to report a concern that may not require a DMCA notice, contact: support@mineralcache.com.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by updating the “Last updated” date above. We will provide additional notice or request agreement where required; updating this page does not retroactively expand rights over your content.
