1. NextCards platform and branding
NextCards and its licensors retain the intellectual property rights they hold in the platform, software, original website content, designs, logos and branding. Our rights apply to material we own or are entitled to license; they do not extend automatically to third-party artwork, brands, API content or user content appearing on the platform. You may access and use NextCards for the activities permitted by our Terms of Service, including buying, selling, submitting and redeeming eligible collectibles. This permission does not grant a general right to reproduce, distribute, adapt, commercially exploit or sublicense our protected platform content or branding. Do not use the NextCards name or logo in a way that falsely suggests that we sponsor, endorse or operate another service. Requests for permission to use our branding may be sent to nextcardspteltd@gmail.com. Any use otherwise permitted by law or an applicable licence remains subject to that permission or licence.2. Trading card artwork and third-party brands
Trading card artwork, characters, game names, publisher names, logos, set symbols and other third-party material remain subject to the rights of their respective owners. NextCards does not acquire those rights merely by holding, authenticating, scanning or facilitating the sale of a physical card. The appearance of a third-party name, image or brand on NextCards does not, by itself, establish an affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement or licence. Any such relationship will be expressly identified where applicable. A general attribution or statement that rights belong to their owners does not replace permission where permission is required. A transaction involving a physical card does not give you a general right to reproduce its artwork, manufacture copies, create unlicensed merchandise or present yourself as authorised by its publisher. Any separate permission or lawful exception must be assessed on its own terms.3. API content scans and digital models
Some default card images and descriptions displayed on NextCards are sourced from third-party APIs. We also create card-specific images and digital models by scanning physical cards. These sources may involve different rights and conditions. API-supplied images and descriptions may be subject to rights held by the API provider, a publisher, a photographer or another rights holder. Their availability through an API, or their display on NextCards, does not make them freely reusable. Where a separate licence is expressly provided with particular content, that licence governs the permitted use of that content. Scans, photographs and digital models of physical cards may reproduce protected artwork, branding or other material. Any rights NextCards holds in its own independently created material do not replace the rights in the underlying card design. Scanning a card does not, by itself, grant permission to reuse its artwork or establish a new exclusive right over that artwork. If you believe an API image, description, scan or model is displayed without the necessary authority, or requires a correction or attribution, please use the reporting process below.4. Physical cards and NFT ownership
Our NFTs are associated with specific physical cards. Rights to the physical card, its custody, transfer and redemption are described in the Terms of Service. Those rights are distinct from intellectual property in the card’s artwork, branding and other protected material. Buying, receiving, holding, transferring or redeeming an NFT does not, by itself, transfer copyright, trade mark rights or other intellectual property in the Associated Card or its digital image. A token identifier, metadata entry or blockchain record is not a general licence to commercially exploit the artwork it refers to. You may use NextCards to view your collectibles and undertake the transactions allowed by the Terms of Service. Any broader intellectual property licence must be separately and expressly granted by a person entitled to grant it. NextCards cannot grant rights it does not hold.5. Content you provide
You retain any intellectual property rights you hold in photographs, descriptions and other content you submit. Uploading content does not transfer those rights to NextCards. Under clause 15.2 of our Terms of Service, you grant NextCards a non-exclusive licence to use your submitted content as reasonably necessary to operate the services, display your listings, document your cards and resolve transactions or disputes. This page does not expand that licence to unrestricted advertising or unrelated commercial use of your identity or content. Submit only content that you have the right to provide for the relevant purpose, whether through ownership, permission or another lawful basis. Your permission to use a photograph does not automatically extend to all artwork or branding visible within it. Do not claim ownership of third-party material or remove required credits or rights notices. If you ask to remove content, we will assess the request, the applicable licence, outstanding transactions and any relevant legal obligations. Some records may need to be retained for an unresolved transaction or legal purpose. We will not treat technical retention of a record as unrestricted permission to reuse it for new purposes.6. Attribution lawful uses and other licences
We respect attribution requirements that apply under law or a relevant licence. Contact us if you believe a required creator credit or rights notice is missing or inaccurate. A credit is not, by itself, a substitute for a necessary licence. Nothing on this page prevents a use permitted by applicable law, including an applicable copyright exception or fair use. Whether an exception applies depends on the circumstances; displaying a work publicly on the internet does not automatically make every later use lawful. Third-party software, open-source components and content expressly offered under separate licences remain subject to those licences. This page does not withdraw permissions already granted under an applicable open-source or other licence. Nor do we claim exclusive copyright over facts, ideas or other material that copyright law does not protect.7. Reporting an intellectual property concern
If you believe material or a listing on NextCards infringes your rights, or you are authorised to act for the rights holder, email nextcardspteltd@gmail.com with the subject Intellectual Property Report. Please include enough information for us to identify and investigate the concern:- Your name, contact email and, where relevant, the rights holder you represent and evidence of your authority to act.
- The work, trade mark or other right concerned, with relevant original-source links, registration details where applicable, or other evidence identifying the right claimed. Registration details are not required for a copyright that exists without registration.
- The precise page URL, listing reference or file concerned. For an NFT-related report, include the relevant network, contract address and token identifier if available.
- An explanation of the alleged infringement and why you believe the use is unauthorised, including any relevant limits in a permission or licence.
- A statement that you believe the report is made in good faith and that its material information is accurate, together with your name or signature confirming the report.
8. How we handle reports
We will review reports within a reasonable time, taking account of their clarity, evidence, urgency and any applicable legal requirements. We may ask the reporting person or affected user for further information. Receiving a report does not, by itself, establish that infringement has occurred. Where appropriate and lawful, we may correct attribution, remove or disable access to identified material we control, pause an affected listing or take another proportionate protective step. We will ordinarily notify the affected user and provide an opportunity to respond unless doing so would be unlawful or materially compromise a legitimate investigation. Applicable statutory notice, removal or restoration requirements take priority where they apply. If your content or listing is affected, you may reply with relevant evidence, such as permission, a licence, your own authorship or an explanation of a lawful use. We will consider that information and any applicable restoration procedure. Our internal assessment is not a binding determination of intellectual property ownership or infringement and does not prevent a party from seeking an external remedy. Serious or repeated infringement may result in account restrictions under the Terms of Service. A content removal or account restriction does not, by itself, transfer ownership of a physical card, NFT or XSGD to NextCards. Any restriction affecting an asset, redemption or payment must have an appropriate contractual or legal basis. We may be unable to remove historical data from a public blockchain or material held independently by third parties. We will consider the steps available for content and services we control; that limitation does not excuse a legal obligation that applies to us.9. Information supplied with a report
We handle personal data in reports and responses in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We may share relevant information with the affected person, rights holder, source provider, adviser or authority where reasonably necessary and legally permitted to investigate, respond or comply with a legal process. We will limit unnecessary disclosure and explain any additional information required for a formal procedure. Make reports honestly and on a reasonable basis. Do not use the process to target legitimate competition, impersonate a rights holder or seek control of a card or NFT you do not own. Materially false statements in a formal legal notice can have legal consequences under applicable law.10. Contact and updates
