Reporting copyright or trademark infringement on Humanitix

Steps to report copyright or trademark infringement on the Humanitix platform

Updated over 3 weeks ago

If you believe that any content on Humanitix violates your copyright or trademark, please contact the event host. In most cases, the fastest way to resolve any concern is by communicating with the event host first.

Humanitix is a platform that allows events to create event pages and sell tickets directly to ticket buyers. We are not involved in the creation and management of these events.

However, if you made all reasonable attempts to contact the event host unsuccessfully, you can report the alleged infringement to our DMCA/Trademark Agent at [email protected].

Please ensure you provide all necessary information outlined below.


What is copyright or trademark infringement?

A copyright protects a creative work or representation from being duplicated without the permission of the copyright holder. For example, works protected by a copyright can include images, videos, music, paintings, digital photography or graphics, and even dance choreography.

The "copyright holder" is the person who created the work, unless ownership has been transferred to someone else. It is "copyright infringement" to do any of these without the express permission of the copyright holder:

  • Copy or produce work;

  • Create a new work derived from the original work;

  • Sell or give away the work, or a copy of the work, before the copyright/trademark owner has done so; or

  • Perform or display the work in public.

For example, an event host uses a photo that is subject to copyright as their event banner, without the copyright holder's permission. This constitutes copyright infringement by the event host.

A trademark is any word, name, phrase, symbol, or design that identifies and distinguishes the goods of one manufacturer or seller from those of others.

"Trademark infringement" may occur when someone uses a trademark that is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark owned by someone else, in relation to products or services that are identical or similar to the products or services that the trademark registration covers.
