1. Purpose and scope
This notice explains intellectual-property boundaries for material displayed through Massage Nexus and how to raise a concern. It covers platform material, contributions, third-party resources, marks and separately licensed software or media. It is an informational notice, not a claim that Massage Nexus owns every item on the website.
Questions and reports can be sent to admin@massagenexus.com. Personal-information concerns can also be raised under the Privacy Policy. A disputed business detail, unfavorable opinion or privacy complaint is not necessarily a copyright infringement.
2. Different materials have different owners
Original platform text, artwork, design, software and other creative material may be protected by copyright or other rights held by their respective owners. Protection does not make underlying facts, ideas or ordinary directory information the exclusive property of Massage Nexus.
We reserve the rights we hold in original researched descriptions, editorial writing, photographs, illustrations, software, taxonomy expression and the original selection, coordination or arrangement of our directory and other compilations. Provider profile claims, factual corrections and contributions do not transfer ownership of this material. We may update a shared listing while keeping its original research and authorship distinct from later contributions.
Research time and effort do not, by themselves, make a business address, opening hour, service name or other isolated fact our exclusive property. Protection of an original compilation is distinct from ownership of each underlying fact or third-party work. This distinction permits lawful use of facts; it does not give permission to copy our protected descriptions, images or compilation wholesale.
Contributors retain rights in material they own. Establishment and practitioner names, photographs, logos and other third-party works remain subject to the relevant owners' rights and permissions. A listing or attribution is not an endorsement, transfer of ownership or assertion that a trademark is registered.
Some materials can be supplied under a license, permission, lawful exception or public-domain status. Their source and applicable conditions matter. Do not assume that every publicly accessible image is free to copy, or that automated generation guarantees exclusive ownership or freedom from third-party rights.
3. Contributions and service permissions
Before uploading or submitting material, ensure you have sufficient rights or another lawful basis for the intended use. Check permissions for photographs, identifiable people, translations, quoted text and third-party marks. A credit does not cure an unauthorized use when permission is required.
Where you accept the applicable Terms of Use, the contribution permission is limited to operating the service: hosting, formatting, displaying, moderating and protecting the material, and permitted distribution or translation of public contributions. It does not transfer ownership or turn private information into public promotional material. The actual accepted Terms and any specific asset license govern the permission; this notice alone does not obtain a new license from you.
Removal from a public screen and retention of limited backup, dispute or moderation evidence are different matters. Neither retention nor a shared directory contribution permits unrelated commercial exploitation. Applicable author rights, attribution obligations and separate license conditions remain relevant when material is reformatted or translated.
4. Browsing, sharing and reuse
You may browse public pages, link to them and use information for lawful personal purposes. To republish, adapt, redistribute or commercially exploit protected material, obtain permission from the relevant owner unless a license or applicable legal exception permits your use. A link is generally preferable to reproducing an entire article or image.
Without an applicable permission, license or lawful exception, do not bulk copy, scrape, mirror, redistribute or resell our protected text, media or original compilation, or pass it off as your own work. Automation must respect access restrictions and applicable service conditions. We do not claim a general monopoly over publicly known facts, and these restrictions do not displace statutory exceptions or separately granted licenses.
Fair use and other statutory exceptions can apply depending on the purpose, nature, amount used and effect on the work's market. There is no universal safe percentage or rule that attribution alone makes a use lawful. Nothing in this notice removes mandatory legal exceptions, lawful quotation or other rights that cannot be restricted.
Do not remove a required credit or rights notice, falsely claim another person's work, imply an unauthorized endorsement, bypass access restrictions or harvest private data. A request for bulk or commercial reuse should describe the material, purpose, format and intended distribution. We can grant permission only for rights we hold or are authorized to license.
5. Software, APIs and separately licensed resources
Open-source components, fonts, images and other resources can have their own licenses, attribution or redistribution conditions. Those terms continue to apply. This notice does not convert third-party software into proprietary Massage Nexus property or make all Massage Nexus code open source.
Accessing the website is not an API subscription, source-code license or bulk-data export permission. An approved API or separately supplied dataset may have its own access and license terms. Facts remain distinct from protected expression, selection or arrangement; that distinction does not authorize access to restricted systems or personal information.
6. Reporting an intellectual-property concern
Email admin@massagenexus.com with “Intellectual property concern” in the subject. To help us identify and assess the issue, include:
- Your name or organization and a contact email, and whether you are the rights holder or an authorized representative.
- A description of the protected work or mark and evidence or a source showing the rights you rely on.
- The exact Massage Nexus page address and the specific text, image or other material concerned.
- Why you believe the use is unauthorized, and the correction, removal or other outcome requested.
- A statement that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have authority to make the report.
Do not send passwords, unnecessary identification documents or unrelated confidential material. We may request clarification or appropriate evidence. We can use the information to investigate and, where necessary and lawful, communicate sufficient details to the contributor or affected party for a response. Private contact or supporting evidence is not automatically published.
We may restrict disputed material while assessing a sufficiently supported claim, or take other proportionate steps. A report does not itself determine ownership or infringement. Where a specific statutory notice procedure applies, additional information or formal steps may be necessary; this email process is not presented as a registered US DMCA-agent service.
7. Replies, correction and repeated misuse
If your material is affected, you may reply with the relevant page, your rights or permission, any applicable license or exception, and the correction sought. We will consider relevant information and may keep material restricted while a genuine dispute or legal requirement remains. An ordinary reply does not guarantee restoration or substitute for a formal legal counter-notice where one is required.
False or abusive claims and repeated unauthorized submissions may result in proportionate content or account restrictions under the applicable Terms. We may preserve necessary evidence and comply with lawful requests from competent authorities. This process does not prevent either party from seeking an available legal remedy.
The version and effective date displayed on this page identify this notice. Changes to contractual content permissions require the applicable Terms process; an informational update here does not silently expand a contributor's accepted license.
