Legal
Challenges Basis
Effective Date: April 1, 2023
Below are the legal terms governing participation in Cathopic Challenges.
Participation
- Participants must submit original and unpublished works on Cathopic, meaning the content must be their own creation and not previously published on the platform.
- The maximum number of high-quality resources that a participant can submit varies with each specific challenge. Details on the allowed quantity will be provided with each challenge announcement.
- By participating in the challenges, participants agree that the submitted resources will be available on Cathopic for a minimum period of two years, during which the author may earn monthly profits for each download subscribers make of their resources.
- The duration of each challenge may vary, adapting to the specificities of the proposed theme and to the criteria set by the organizers and sponsors. The exact period of each challenge, including start and end dates, will be announced at the launch of each call. This flexibility optimizes the participation experience, ensuring that creators have adequate time to develop and present works that reflect their highest creative potential.
Theme and Quality
- Each challenge will have a specific theme designed to challenge participants to step out of their comfort zone and create unique and beautiful works.
- The resources submitted must meet the high-quality standards set by Cathopic. Those that do not meet these requirements will be removed by our moderators.
- If a submitted resource meets the required quality but does not fit the theme of the current challenge, it may still be considered for inclusion on our platform, though it will not participate in the contest. The decision to include these resources on the platform, despite their non-participation in the specific challenge, is the exclusive competence of our moderators. This approach ensures that high-quality works receive the recognition and visibility they deserve within our community, even if they do not align with the theme of a particular challenge.
Winner and Prize
- Each challenge will have a sponsor, who, along with a team of Cathopic experts, will determine the winner based on criteria of originality, quality, and adherence to the challenge theme.
- The winner will be announced within five (5) days after the challenge's end date via email.
- The nature and value of each challenge's prize will vary depending on the sponsor's contribution. Prizes may consist of monetary rewards or physical objects, and the exact specification of these will be announced at the start of each challenge. The determination of the prize is at the discretion of the sponsor, in collaboration with Cathopic, always seeking to offer rewards that value and recognize the creativity and effort of the participants.
- In the case of monetary prizes, the amount will be transferred to the PayPal account linked to the winner's Creator Dashboard.
Copyright and Use of Resources
- By participating in the challenge, the participant guarantees that they are the sole author and holder of the copyright of the submitted resources and that they do not infringe on the rights of third parties.
- By participating in the challenge, the participant retains at all times the ownership of the copyright over the submitted resources. Participation in the challenge does not imply the cession or renunciation of their copyright, but grants Cathopic a non-exclusive right to use, reproduce, distribute, and display these resources, in accordance with these terms, always respecting the authorship and moral rights of the creator.
General Provisions
- Participating in the Cathopic Challenges implies full and unconditional acceptance of these legal terms.
- Cathopic reserves the right to modify these legal terms at any time, with or without prior notice. Participants are subject to the modifications that Cathopic makes.
- Any situation not foreseen in these legal terms will be resolved by Cathopic at its sole discretion, in conformity with applicable laws.
