INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND COPYRIGHT NOTICE

Cortivas Global LLC

https://shopcortivas.com

Effective Date: May 20, 2026

IMPORTANT: This Intellectual Property and Copyright Notice describes the ownership, protection, and authorized use of all intellectual property contained on or associated with the Cortivas Global LLC website, products, and services. All intellectual property is protected by law, and unauthorized use is prohibited.

1. OWNERSHIP OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

1.1 Comprehensive Ownership

Cortivas Global LLC owns or has licensed all intellectual property rights associated with the Website, Products, Services, and all related materials, including but not limited to:

  • All website content, including text, graphics, logos, images, layouts, designs, and HTML/CSS code
  • Product photographs, images, and visual representations
  • Product descriptions, specifications, pricing, and marketing materials
  • Website design, layout, navigation, and user experience elements
  • Software code, scripts, databases, and backend systems
  • Brand names, logos, trademarks, and service marks
  • Advertising content, marketing campaigns, and promotional materials
  • Blog posts, articles, tutorials, and educational content
  • Videos, audio content, and multimedia
  • Data compilations, customer lists (anonymized), and business analytics
  • Trade secrets, proprietary business methods, and confidential information

1.2 Third-Party Content

Some content on the Website may be licensed from third parties, including stock photography, fonts, and software libraries. Such content remains the property of the respective third-party owners and is licensed to Cortivas Global LLC for use on the Website. You must not use third-party licensed content without authorization from both Cortivas Global LLC and the original licensor.

2. COPYRIGHT PROTECTION

2.1 Copyright Registration

All original content on the Website, including text, product descriptions, photography, graphics, and layout designs, is protected by international copyright law. Copyright protection exists automatically upon creation and does not require registration, notice, or any other formality. The '©' symbol and date indicate the year of creation but are not required for protection to exist.

2.2 Scope of Copyright

Copyright protects the expression of ideas but not the ideas themselves. For example: we can prevent you from copying our product description word-for-word, but we cannot prevent you from describing similar jewelry or writing about similar products in your own words. However, copying substantial portions of our descriptions or paraphrasing them to closely mirror the original is a copyright violation.

2.3 Duration of Copyright

Copyright for works created by Cortivas Global LLC extends for the life of the author/creator plus 70 years (or longer in some jurisdictions). For works made for hire, copyright extends for 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter. This means copyright protection for Website content will extend well beyond our lifetimes.

3. TRADEMARK AND BRAND PROTECTION

3.1 Trademark Ownership

Cortivas Global LLC, Cortivas, and all associated logos, brand names, and trade dress are trademarks or registered trademarks of Cortivas Global LLC. These marks are protected under U.S. trademark law and international trademark treaties, including the Trademark Law Treaty and the WIPO Madrid Protocol.

3.2 Trademark Rights

As the owner of these trademarks, Cortivas Global LLC has the exclusive right to use the marks in connection with jewelry, fashion accessories, and related goods. We have the right to enforce our trademarks against unauthorized use and to bring legal action against infringers.

3.3 Prohibited Uses of Trademarks

You are prohibited from:

  • Using any Cortivas trademarks or similar marks in your own business names, domain names, social media accounts, or products
  • Using our marks in advertising, marketing, or promotional materials without written authorization
  • Creating or registering domain names that incorporate our trademarks
  • Using our marks in a way that creates confusion about affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement
  • Attempting to register our marks as trademarks in your own name
