Wix.com opposes any unauthorized infringement of copyrights.
It is Wix.com's policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the "DMCA"). When adding content to your site, it is important to make sure that you have the rights to use that content.
We have set out some guidelines for you to help keep your site and content safe from copyright complaints.
- Videos: Wix allows you to add videos to your site which have been uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo. If you uploaded the video yourself, you are free to use it on your site. With regards to other content available through these services, we recommend that you read through the YouTube and Vimeo Terms of Use thoroughly before adding anything.
- Music: Most music is protected by intellectual property rights. The Wix Terms of Use state that you may not upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise make available any content that might infringe a third party's intellectual property rights. It is your responsibility to make sure that you have permission to use any audio content on your site.
- Text: All text added to your site should be original, unique and created by you. It is not permissible to copy text from another person's site.
- Software: Software may be protected by intellectual property rights. It is your responsibility to make sure that you have the relevant permission/license to disclose and/or make available any software on your site.
