This Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy explains how ARAMEDU LTD protects its intellectual property, how users may and may not use The Secrets of Decoupage App content, and how copyright, trade mark, brand use and other intellectual property complaints may be reported to us.

Users who do not agree to this Policy must not use protected content or community features of the App.

1. Purpose and Scope

This Policy applies to The Secrets of Decoupage mobile application, connected website services, store-connected features, community areas, Project Helper, VIP/PRO membership content, downloads, credits, tutorials, guides, product images, rice paper designs, digital content and all related services.

This Policy forms part of our Terms and Conditions of Use. By using the App, creating an account, uploading content, purchasing a subscription, redeeming credits or accessing digital content, the user agrees to comply with this Policy.

2. Intellectual Property Owned by ARAMEDU LTD

Unless expressly stated otherwise, all intellectual property rights in the App and in The Secrets of Decoupage materials belong to ARAMEDU LTD, its licensors, suppliers, designers or authorised content partners. This includes:

• The App name, design, layout, interface, structure, look and feel
• The Secrets of Decoupage name, branding, logos, marks, product presentation and visual identity
• Rice paper designs, digital designs, collections, graphics, patterns, illustrations, product images and listing images
• VIP Drops, VIP downloads, PRO content, printable materials, guides, tutorials, written instructions, product descriptions and educational content

• Software, code, systems, workflows, text, images, videos, icons and all other original content made available through the App

Nothing in this Policy transfers ownership of our intellectual property to any user. Any rights not expressly granted are reserved.

3. Limited Licence to Use the App

Subject to the Terms and Conditions of Use, we grant users a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to access and use the App and its content for lawful personal craft, learning, shopping, membership and community purposes.

This licence does not allow copying, resale, redistribution, extraction, reprinting, sublicensing, bulk downloading, commercial exploitation of our underlying designs, or creation of competing products or services.

4. Permitted Use of Physical Rice Papers

Customers who purchase genuine The Secrets of Decoupage physical rice papers may use those papers in handmade craft and decoupage projects, including finished handmade items that may be sold by the customer, provided that the customer does not reproduce, copy, scan, print, digitise, redistribute or resell the underlying design itself.

A customer may generally sell a finished handmade item such as a decorated box, bottle, ornament, frame, canvas, furniture piece or other craft project made using a genuine purchased paper. This does not allow the customer to sell copies of the paper, digital versions of the design, printed sheets, transfers, stickers, printables or other products that reproduce the underlying artwork as the main product.

Customers must not describe themselves as an official partner, distributor, designer, authorised seller or representative of The Secrets of Decoupage unless we have given written permission.

5. Digital Content, Downloads and VIP/PRO Materials

Digital content is licensed to the user only for the use expressly permitted in the App, product description, membership plan or applicable licence terms. Unless we expressly state otherwise in writing, digital content is for personal craft use and limited non-transferable membership use.

Users must not copy, share, resell, redistribute, upload, gift, trade, transfer or make available our digital content to any third party, online group, marketplace, file-sharing service, AI dataset or competing platform.

6. Strictly Prohibited Uses of Our Content

Users must not, without our prior written permission:

• Copy, scan, photograph, trace, recreate, extract or digitise our rice papers, graphics, product images or digital files for resale, redistribution or competing use
• Print, reprint, manufacture or sell copies of our designs as rice paper, decoupage paper, napkins, transfer sheets, tissue paper, stickers, fabric, prints, posters, sublimation sheets, scrapbook paper, cards, downloads, cliparts or any similar product
• Sell, license, sublicense, upload, share or distribute VIP downloads, digital files, printable designs, tutorials, PDFs or App content
• Use our content to create competing digital products, craft supplies, printables, paper sheets, downloads, bundles, design packs or marketplace listings
• Remove copyright notices, watermarks, metadata, branding or protective markings
• Use our product photographs, listing images, descriptions, titles, tags or marketing copy to sell unauthorised products
• Claim our designs, graphics, downloads, tutorials or written content as the user's own
• Use our content in a way that suggests partnership, sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation without written permission
• Use our content for artificial intelligence training, dataset creation, model fine-tuning, automated scraping, image generation datasets or similar machine-learning purposes
• Circumvent paywalls, membership locks, subscription controls, download limits, credits, watermarking or technical restrictions
• Use our marks, names or branding in domain names, social handles, ads, shop names, product listings or search advertising in a confusing or misleading way

7. User Content and Intellectual Property Responsibility

Users are solely responsible for their User Content. By uploading User Content, the user confirms that they own the content or have all permissions needed to upload and share it in the App.

Users must not upload content that infringes another person or company's copyright, trade mark, design rights, publicity rights, privacy rights, moral rights or any other rights.

Users must not upload or promote unauthorised content containing protected characters, entertainment brands, sports club logos, celebrity images, famous artworks, commercial logos, Disney-style characters, film or game characters, brand names, trade marks or third-party artwork unless they have the legal right to do so.

Public domain status can differ by country and by type of use. Users are responsible for checking whether an artwork, image, photograph, design or character is lawfully available for their intended use.

8. Licence Granted by Users to ARAMEDU LTD

When a user uploads User Content to the App, the user grants ARAMEDU LTD a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, display, publish, moderate, adapt for formatting, distribute and make that User Content available within the App and related services.

We will not sell a user's original project photograph as a standalone digital product. However, public community content may be visible to other users and may be indexed, copied, screenshotted or shared by others outside our control.

9. Copyright and IP Complaints

If you believe that content in the App infringes your copyright, trade mark or other intellectual property rights, please contact us promptly at aramedultd@gmail.com with the subject line "IP Complaint".

To help us review your complaint, include the following information:

• Your full name, business name if applicable, address, email address and telephone number
• A clear description of the copyrighted work, trade mark or other right that you claim has been infringed
• The country or territory where your right exists and any registration number if applicable
• The exact URL, screenshot, username, product title, post, image, listing or location of the allegedly infringing content
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the complained-of use is not authorised by the rights owner, its agent or the law
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorised to act on behalf of the rights owner
• Your physical or electronic signature

10. What We May Do After Receiving an IP Complaint

After receiving an intellectual property complaint, we may take any action that we consider reasonably appropriate, including:

• Removing, disabling, restricting or hiding the reported content
• Requesting more information from the complainant or the user who posted the content
• Notifying the user who posted the content
• Restricting uploads, comments, community access or account features
• Suspending or terminating accounts for repeat or serious infringement
• Refusing to restore content where we believe it creates legal, safety, platform compliance or business risk
• Preserving records where needed for legal, safety, fraud or enforcement purposes

We may remove content without prior notice where we reasonably believe it may infringe rights, breach our policies, expose us to liability, violate platform rules or harm the community.

11. Counter-Notices and Disputed Removals

If a user's content was removed because of an intellectual property complaint and the user believes the removal was a mistake, the user may contact us at aramedultd@gmail.com with the subject line "IP Counter Notice".

The counter-notice should explain clearly why the user believes they have the right to use the content, provide evidence where available, and include the user's name, contact details and a statement that the information provided is accurate.

12. Repeat Infringement Policy

We may suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly or seriously infringe intellectual property rights or repeatedly upload content that creates copyright, trade mark, legal or platform compliance risk. A user may be treated as a repeat infringer even if separate complaints relate to different works, rights owners, posts, projects, listings, images or files.

13. Trade Marks and Brand Use

The Secrets of Decoupage name, logos, brand identity, product names, collection names and related marks may not be used without permission in a way that suggests affiliation, endorsement, sponsorship, partnership or official status.

Limited descriptive use may be permitted where it is truthful, non-misleading and necessary to identify genuine purchased products used in a finished handmade project, for example: "made using The Secrets of Decoupage rice paper". Such use must not imply that the user is an official partner, distributor or representative unless we have given written permission.

14. Marketplace, Reseller and Creator Restrictions

Unless we provide written permission, users must not use our content to create listings on Etsy, eBay, Amazon, Shopify, Facebook Marketplace, Creative Fabrica, Design Bundles, Teachers Pay Teachers, print-on-demand services, digital download platforms, AI image marketplaces or similar channels where the underlying design is reproduced, resold or distributed.

Finished handmade craft items may be sold where the item is genuinely handmade and the underlying design is not copied, scanned, printed, distributed or sold as a design asset or craft supply.

15. No Transfer of Rights Through Subscription, Credits or Purchase

Purchasing a product, subscription, membership, download, VIP Drop or credit does not transfer ownership of our intellectual property. Neither subscriptions nor credits give users the right to copy, reproduce, distribute, resell, train AI systems on, or commercially exploit our underlying content.

16. App Store and Platform Compliance

Users must not upload or distribute content through the App that infringes copyright, trade marks or other rights. We may remove content and restrict accounts where necessary to comply with the rules of Apple App Store, Google Play, payment providers, hosting providers, AI providers, social platforms or other service providers.

17. Enforcement and Remedies

If a user breaches this Policy, we may take action including content removal, account restriction, account suspension, account termination, cancellation of credits, removal from community features, refusal of future access, legal action, reporting to platforms, or reporting to relevant authorities where appropriate.

We reserve all rights and remedies available under law, including claims for damages, injunctive relief, account recovery, takedown requests, platform complaints and legal costs where recoverable.

18. Reporting Misuse of Our Content Outside the App

If you see The Secrets of Decoupage designs, downloads, rice paper graphics, product images or VIP materials being copied, resold, reprinted, redistributed or misused outside the App, please contact us at aramedultd@gmail.com and include screenshots, URLs, seller names, platform names and any other useful evidence.

Reports from customers and community members help protect the artists, designs, brand and integrity of The Secrets of Decoupage.

19. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App, our products, membership features, intellectual property practices, platform rules, applicable law or business needs. Continued use of the App after an update means that the user accepts the updated Policy.
