3. Kneele’s Intellectual Property Rights

Kneele’s websites and properties contain proprietary information owned by Kneele, including, but not limited to, text, software, photos, video, graphics and the entire contents of the websites and properties, protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. You acknowledge and agree that you do not acquire any ownership or other rights in proprietary information and materials of Kneele.

4. Notice and Take Down

If you believe that any User Content infringes your rights, in particular if you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, your personality right has been infringed or a criminal offence has been committed (particularly in the areas of pornography, the portrayal of violence, racism and libel) you may provide us with written notification, via email, of your claim to

support@kneele.com


To be effective, the written notification must include:

a) your name and address and where applicable, the electronic signature of a person authorized to act on your behalf;

b) an explanation of why you are particularly affected (except with regard to offences for which proceedings are brought directly by the public prosecutor’s office);

c) a precise description of the allegedly illegal content;

d) the reason why the content is illegal.


If a received notice does not meet, or only partly meets, the above listed formal and content-related requirements, Kneele asks you to provide the missing information within five working days of receiving such request. If you fail to respond before the deadline or if the additional information supplied also does not meet, or only partly meets, the above listed formal and content-related requirements Kneele will pay no further attention to the notice.


If a received notice fully meets the formal and content-related requirements, Kneele will inform the user whose User Content is subject to the notice about your notice. Moreover, Kneele will inform you about its information to the user. Both, the information to you and the user will be made within five days after your notice’s receipt. If it appears very likely that the notice concerns illegal content, Kneele will take down the User Content. Kneele decides, at its own discretion, whether to report any criminal offence to the criminal prosecution authorities.


You may also withdraw with future effect your consent to our use of User Content. If you wish that we stop using such User Content, please provide us with a written notification, via email, to the above mentioned address.

5. Limitation of Liability

Kneele shall not be liable for any claims by you for damages, unreliabilities, inaccuracies or inauthenticity of the information contained within the User Content or for losses arising therefrom.

6. Indemnity

With regard to all claims/complaints, demands and damages (present and consequential damages) of any kind or nature, whether known or unknown, arising out of any breach of your information in and with regard to the User Content or from your violation of any laws or rights of third parties, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, you agree to indemnify and hold us (and our management, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, employees and third-party suppliers) harmless.

7. Miscellaneous

These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between Kneele and you with respect to the subject matter hereof; and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.


You agree that if Kneele does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in these Terms (or which Kneele has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Kneele’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Kneele. If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms are invalid, then that provision will be removed without affecting the rest of the Terms. The remaining provisions of these Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.

Any notices required or permitted by these Terms must be in writing and in English and shall be deemed effective upon receipt when sent by confirmed e-mail to support@kneele.com.
