Intellectual Property Rights
All resources provided by the Company, including but not limited to templates, guides, and other downloadable materials (collectively referred to as “Resources”), are either protected under copyright laws or governed by specific Creative Commons license policies. It is the responsibility of users to review each Resource to identify the applicable type of protection and comply with all relevant regulations. Below, we detail the framework of intellectual property protections applied to our Resources so users fully understand their rights and obligations.​
​
a. Ownership & Protection:
A digital resource marked with the copyright symbol (a capital "C" enclosed in a circle) is legally protected under copyright law, signifying that the content is owned by its creator and is not part of the public domain. This protection means the resource cannot be freely used, shared, or modified without permission, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Unlike works in the public domain, which are free for anyone to use, or materials offered under Creative Commons licenses that specify usage permissions, a copyrighted resource typically reserves all rights to the creator unless alternative terms are clearly provided.
​
b-1. Permitted Use:
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, and revocable license to download and use the Digital Resource for personal or internal business use only.
​
b-2. Prohibited Use:
-
You may not reproduce, redistribute, sell, lease, modify, or publicly display the Digital Resource or any derivative works thereof without prior written consent or a Creative Commons License from Clear View Compass LLC.

Unauthorized sharing of the Resource (e.g., through file-sharing networks or resale platforms) is strictly prohibited.
​
c. Application of Creative Commons Licenses:
Certain resources provided by Clear View Compass may be licensed under Creative Commons licenses to give users flexibility in how the content can be used while upholding the company's ownership rights. The type of Creative Commons license applied to a Resource will be specified in its accompanying documentation or on the website where it is offered. Users are expected to adhere to the terms of the specific license applied.
​

-
CC BY (Attribution): Users may share, remix, adapt, and build upon the material for any purpose (including commercially), provided they give appropriate credit to Clear View Compass.
-
CC BY-SA (Attribution-ShareAlike): Users can adapt or remix the material but must license derivative works under the same or a compatible license.

CC BY-ND (Attribution-NoDerivatives): Allows material to be shared for any purpose without adaptation, and attribution is required.
-
CC BY-NC-ND (Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives): The most restrictive license, permitting sharing for non-commercial purposes only, with no modifications allowed, and attribution required.
​
e. Rights & Limitations
While Creative Commons licenses permit certain uses, they do not transfer copyright ownership. Clear View Compass LLC remains the copyright holder of all licensed Resources. Users must adhere to all applicable restrictions and respect proprietary rights. Violating license terms may lead to enforcement actions and termination of any granted license privileges.
It is also important to note that Creative Commons licenses do not override any other relevant laws or regulations. Users are encouraged to consult legal counsel or other professionals if they are unsure about their obligations when utilizing a licensed Digital Resource.
