Copyright Policy

Last Updated: April 28, 2026

Lucilla respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. This page explains who owns what within the Lucilla platform, how to report copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and similar international laws, and how to dispute a takedown.

1. Lucilla's Copyrighted Material

Protected materials include:

The Lucilla name, "L" galaxy logo, wordmark, and all brand assets — registered trademarks of Lucilla Inc.
App source code, smart contracts, server-side software, and all proprietary algorithms
The pay-per-visit foot-traffic attribution model (patent pending)
The two-step Geo + QR redemption flow, geo-rewards system, mystery rewards, step-match matchmaking, and creator-bonding-curve mechanisms
App Store / Play Store / dApp Store screenshots, marketing graphics, and feature-graphic banners published under the lucilla.app domain
Documentation, blog posts, pitch decks, and other written materials authored by Lucilla Inc.

For full terms governing use of these materials, see our License Agreement and Terms of Service, Section 13.

2. User-Generated Content

You own the copyright in content you create and post on Lucilla (photos, posts, journals, comments, custom challenge designs, creator content, etc.). By posting, you grant Lucilla a limited license to host, display, and distribute your content within the platform — see our License Agreement, Section 3 for full scope.

3. Reporting Copyright Infringement (DMCA Notice)

If you believe content posted on Lucilla infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice. Per 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include:

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works)
Identification of the allegedly infringing material — including its location on Lucilla (URL, username, or post ID) — sufficient to permit us to locate it
Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf

Where to send a DMCA notice

Send takedown notices to our designated copyright agent:

DMCA Agent — Lucilla Inc.
Email: social@lucilla.ca
Subject line: "DMCA Takedown — [your work]"

Mailing address (for notices that require physical delivery):
Lucilla Inc.
145 1/2 Church St, Office 52
Toronto, ON · M5C 2B5
Canada

We aim to respond to valid takedown notices within 3–5 business days.

4. Counter-Notification

If your content was removed in error, you may file a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) by sending the following to social@lucilla.ca:

Your physical or electronic signature
Identification of the material that was removed and the location it appeared before removal
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification
Your name, address, and telephone number
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your judicial district (or the District of Delaware if outside the U.S.) and that you will accept service of process from the original DMCA filer or their agent

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the content unless the original filer obtains a court order against you within 10–14 business days.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

Lucilla terminates accounts of users we determine to be repeat infringers in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i). Termination decisions consider context, scale, and intent. Users with terminated accounts cannot create new Lucilla accounts.

6. Trademark and Brand Inquiries

The Lucilla name, "L" galaxy logo, and related brand elements are registered trademarks of Lucilla Inc. Use of any Lucilla trademark requires written permission. To request a license, partnership, or co-marketing arrangement, email social@lucilla.ca.

Use of third-party trademarks within Lucilla (Apple®, Fitbit®, Garmin®, Solana®, etc.) is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement.

7. False Claims

Filing a false DMCA notice or counter-notice is a federal crime under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), punishable by damages including costs and attorneys' fees. If you are not certain whether use of a work is authorized, consult an attorney before filing.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Copyright Policy as our platform evolves or as law requires. Material changes will be announced via in-app notification and email to registered users. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
