Copyright

If your work is on Vessa without your permission

Organizers upload their own flyers, photos and event descriptions. They agree that they have the right to use everything they upload. If something of yours is on Vessa and you did not agree to it, tell us and we will take it down.

How to tell us

Email hello@vessatickets.com with “Copyright” in the subject, and include:

• A link to the Vessa page the material is on.
• Which part of that page is yours: the flyer, a photo, the text.
• Where the original is, or enough for us to see that it is yours.
• Your name and how to reach you.
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by you, the copyright owner, or the law, and that what you have told us is accurate.

What we do

We look at it, and where the claim is credible we take the material down, usually the same day. We tell the organizer what was removed and why. If they tell us they do have the right to use it, and they give us a reason to think so, we may put it back and tell you that we have, with their response, so that the two of you can settle it between yourselves.

We terminate the accounts of organizers who repeatedly infringe. There is no published number, because it is a judgment about a pattern rather than a count: two deliberate copies of somebody else’s artwork is a pattern, and two unrelated claims years apart, one of which turned out to be wrong, is not. What we will not do is treat a second notice as a free one.

If you think your material was removed wrongly

If you are the organizer and we took something down that you had the right to use, reply to the email we sent you and say so. Tell us what the material is and why it is yours to use. We will put it back unless we hear something that changes our mind, and we will tell the person who complained. That is the quickest route and most of the time it is the end of it.

You can also send a formal counter-notice. Write to the designated agent below and include all of the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• What was removed, and where it appeared on Vessa before it was removed.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address and telephone number.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the district your address is in, or, if your address is outside the United States, for any district in which Vessa may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice.

We pass a valid counter-notice to the person who complained. The material may go back up in 10 to 14 business days, unless they tell us first that they have filed a court action to stop you using it.

Trademarks

The same goes for a name or a logo. If an event is using yours in a way that suggests you are involved when you are not, write to the same address and say which event and which mark.

Who to write to

For anything at all, email hello@vessatickets.com. We read it, and a notice sent there reaches the same person as the address below.
