Nothing in this Policy grants a license to use SeenKind's trademarks except as expressly permitted.

Subject to compliance with our Terms of Service and this Policy, SeenKind grants users a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform solely for its intended purposes.

This license does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property.

Users may upload content including profile information, photographs, reviews, messages, articles, educational content, comments, images, documents, and other materials.

Users retain ownership of content they create.

However, by submitting content to SeenKind, you grant SeenKind a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable (only as necessary for Platform operations), sublicensable (to trusted service providers), license to:

• Host, store, display, reproduce, format, and distribute the content.
• Translate content where necessary.
• Use the content solely for operating, securing, improving, promoting, and providing the Platform.

This license ends when the content is deleted, except where retention is permitted or required under our policies or applicable law.

Therapists retain ownership of original materials they create, including biographies, articles, educational resources, and profile content.

By publishing such content on SeenKind, therapists grant SeenKind the license described in Section 6 for the purpose of operating and promoting the Platform.

Therapists represent that they have the necessary rights to publish any content they upload.

Users are responsible for ensuring that any content they upload:

• Is lawful.
• Does not infringe another person's intellectual property rights.
• Does not violate privacy rights.
• Does not violate contractual obligations.
• Complies with Platform policies.

Users are solely responsible for the content they submit.

SeenKind may also remove related content where appropriate.

If you believe your content was removed in error, you may contact SeenKind with supporting information.

SeenKind may review the matter and determine whether the content should be restored, modified, or remain removed.

Submitting a counter-notice does not guarantee reinstatement.

The Platform may contain content owned by therapists, clients, or other third parties.

SeenKind does not claim ownership of third-party content except to the extent necessary to operate the Platform under the licenses granted in this Policy.

Third-party trademarks and copyrighted materials remain the property of their respective owners.

If you voluntarily provide suggestions, ideas, recommendations, feature requests, or other feedback regarding SeenKind, you grant SeenKind a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, modify, implement, and incorporate that feedback without compensation or attribution, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The Platform may incorporate open-source software components.

Where applicable, those components remain subject to their respective open-source licenses.

Nothing in this Policy limits rights granted under those licenses.

Except for the limited licenses expressly granted in this Policy, all intellectual property rights are reserved by SeenKind and its licensors.

No ownership rights are transferred to users.

SeenKind may update this Intellectual Property & Copyright Policy from time to time.

The latest version will be published on the Platform with a revised version number and effective date.

Continued use of the Platform after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
