Intellectual Property Policy

Effective Date: July 9, 2025 

1. Introduction

Welcome to AvenueSpot. This Intellectual Property Policy outlines how intellectual property (IP) rights are handled on our online marketplace for renting rooms and partitions (the "Platform"). 

AvenueSpot ("AvenueSpot," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting its own intellectual property and respecting the intellectual property rights of others. 

This policy explains what constitutes intellectual property on our Platform, how user-generated content is treated, and the procedures for reporting and addressing intellectual property infringement. 

By accessing or using AvenueSpot, you agree to comply with this policy, in conjunction with our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and other applicable policies. 

2. AvenueSpot's Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality on the AvenueSpot Platform, including but not limited to the AvenueSpot name, logo, designs, software, text, graphics, images, video, audio, icons, and the compilation thereof, are the exclusive property of AvenueSpot or its licensors. 

This intellectual property is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws worldwide. 

You are strictly prohibited from using, reproducing, distributing, modifying, creating derivative works of, publicly displaying, publicly performing, republishing, downloading, storing, or transmitting any of AvenueSpot's intellectual property without our prior written consent. 

3. User-Generated Content (UGC) and Intellectual Property

The AvenueSpot Platform allows users to post, link, store, share, and otherwise make available certain information, text, graphics, videos, or other material ("User-Generated Content" or "UGC"). This includes, but is not limited to, listing descriptions, photos of properties, and communications. 

3.1. Ownership of UGC:

You retain full ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in your User-Generated Content. 

3.2. License Granted to AvenueSpot:

By uploading, posting, or otherwise making available any UGC on the Platform, you grant AvenueSpot a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sub-licensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display such UGC in connection with the operation, promotion, and improvement of the AvenueSpot Platform and services. 

This includes, for example, displaying your listing photos in search results or on our social media channels to promote the platform. 

This license continues even after you delete your account or remove your content, but only for the purposes for which it was originally used (e.g., if a listing photo was used in an archived promotional material). 

3.3. User Responsibilities for UGC:

You represent and warrant that you either own all intellectual property rights in your UGC or have obtained all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to grant the license described above to AvenueSpot. 

You further represent and warrant that your UGC does not infringe upon or violate the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or any other rights of any third party. 

You are solely responsible for the content you post and any consequences arising from its publication. 

4. Reporting Intellectual Property Infringement

AvenueSpot respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. 

We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") if applicable, or similar international intellectual property laws.

• Information reasonably sufficient to permit AvenueSpot to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
