- Purpose and Application
1.1 This Intellectual Property & Copyright Policy (the “Policy”) outlines Crylo Tech Ltd’s approach to the ownership, licensing, use, protection, and enforcement of intellectual property rights related to its online and offline activities. These activities include software, services, digital products, documentation, multimedia works, designs, and other creative or technical materials (collectively referred to as the “Works”).
1.2 This Policy applies to all Works created, produced, licensed, distributed, hosted, or otherwise used by Crylo Tech in the course of its operations, as well as to materials submitted, provided, or made available to Crylo Tech by clients, contractors, partners, users, or third parties. It applies to all employees, contractors, clients, suppliers, partners, and any other stakeholders involved in creating, providing, receiving, or interacting with the Works.
1.3 This Policy supplements any other contractual agreements, such as Statements of Work, licensing agreements, Data Processing Agreements, and confidentiality clauses. In the event of any conflict between this Policy and a specific contract, the terms of the contract will prevail, unless explicitly stated otherwise. - Principles and Legal Framework
2.1 Crylo Tech acknowledges the importance of intellectual property as a key asset in its business operations. The company is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of third parties while protecting its own. Crylo Tech will: identify and manage IP created or used in its business activities, clarify ownership through appropriate agreements, ensure lawful use of third-party materials, provide transparent licensing arrangements to customers, mitigate risks related to open-source components, and enforce its IP rights when necessary.
2.2 Crylo Tech conducts IP governance in accordance with applicable UK and international laws, including the Copyright, Designs, and Patents Act 1988, as well as relevant statutory and common law principles. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is the UK’s regulatory authority for data protection matters; references to the ICO in this Policy pertain to its role in regulatory oversight and do not imply any endorsement or certification of Crylo Tech.
2.3 Any references to compliance with recognized standards, frameworks, or best practices in this Policy are meant to outline control objectives and do not imply that Crylo Tech holds any specific third-party certification unless explicitly stated. - Ownership and Vesting of Intellectual Property Rights
3.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, IP rights in works created by employees during their employment will vest with Crylo Tech. Employee contracts and contractor agreements will include provisions regarding IP ownership, assignment, or licensing to ensure Crylo Tech has the necessary rights to exploit deliverables and provide services to clients.
3.2 When engaging contractors or third parties, the relevant contract will specify whether the IP rights are assigned to Crylo Tech, licensed to Crylo Tech on a specific basis, or retained by the contractor. In the absence of a clear written agreement, Crylo Tech will require contractors to grant sufficient licensing or assignment rights to permit intended use.
3.3 In the case of bespoke client engagements, the allocation of IP rights in deliverables will be governed by the written agreement between the parties. Transfers of ownership are effective only through explicit written assignment, and may be subject to conditions such as full payment or completion of acceptance procedures as specified in the contract. - Licensing and Transfer to Clients
4.1 Licensing arrangements for clients will be detailed in the relevant contract, Order, or Statement of Work. These arrangements will specify the scope of the license (including permitted uses, territory, duration, sublicensing rights, and any restrictions). Licenses may be exclusive or non-exclusive, perpetual or limited in time, depending on the negotiated terms.
4.2 When the contract provides for the transfer of ownership of deliverables, the transfer of title, any retained rights of Crylo Tech (such as the right to reuse non-confidential tools or frameworks), and any conditions precedent (such as payment in full or completion of acceptance procedures) will be clearly documented.
4.3 Unless expressly stated otherwise, Crylo Tech retains ownership of general tools, frameworks, templates, and pre-existing components used to produce deliverables, even when incorporated into client deliverables. Clients receive a license to use these components only to the extent specified in the contract. - Third-Party Components, Open Source, and Compliance
5.1 Crylo Tech may incorporate third-party components, libraries, fonts, media, tools, or open-source software into its Works. The use of these third-party components is governed by the respective third-party licenses and obligations. Crylo Tech maintains records of third-party components used in client deliverables and will disclose any material licensing obligations that could affect a client’s rights or usage of the deliverables.
5.2 Where open-source licenses impose obligations (such as source code disclosure, attribution, or redistribution conditions), Crylo Tech will ensure compliance with those licenses and notify clients of any material obligations. If clients wish to avoid particular licensing obligations, Crylo Tech will inform them before incorporating such components and may propose alternative solutions.
5.3 Crylo Tech conducts due diligence on third-party components before their incorporation, evaluating licensing obligations, security considerations, and maintenance implications. However, clients are responsible for ensuring compliance with third-party licensing obligations once these components are deployed in their environments. - Moral Rights, Attribution, and Moral Rights Waivers
6.1 Where applicable, authors of works may retain moral rights under relevant laws. Crylo Tech will respect these moral rights and, where necessary, will seek waivers, consents, or licenses from authors to permit modifications, adaptations, or use of Works in client deliverables or marketing materials.
6.2 If you have concerns about attribution or derogatory treatment, please contact Crylo Tech’s legal or IP team at crylotechltd@gmail.com. Crylo Tech will consider these requests reasonably and in good faith. - Client-Provided Materials, Warranties, and Indemnities
7.1 Clients and third parties who supply materials, content, data, or media to Crylo Tech warrant that they possess all necessary rights and licenses to provide these materials and authorize Crylo Tech’s intended uses. This includes the right to grant sublicenses where necessary for Crylo Tech to perform its services.
7.2 Clients shall indemnify and hold Crylo Tech harmless against all losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from any claim that the materials provided by the client infringe third-party rights or breach the warranties in clause 7.1. - Portfolio Use, Marketing, Case Studies, and Confidentiality
8.1 Crylo Tech may, subject to confidentiality obligations, identify clients as customers, describe the nature of the work performed, and display non-confidential deliverables in marketing materials, proposals, and public portfolios. Crylo Tech will avoid disclosing trade secrets, sensitive commercial data, or confidential technical material without explicit written consent from the client.
8.2 If a client requires additional restrictions on portfolio use or non-disclosure, such requirements must be agreed upon in writing and will be respected by Crylo Tech. - Takedown, Notification, and Infringement Reporting Procedure
9.1 If you believe that material hosted or distributed by Crylo Tech infringes your copyright or other IP rights, please send a written notice to crylotechltd@gmail.com containing:

9.2 Upon receipt of a valid notice, Crylo Tech will promptly assess the situation and, where necessary, take interim measures such as removing or disabling access to the material. Crylo Tech will balance the rights of the complainant with those of the alleged infringer. - Counter-Notice and Reinstatement Procedure

11.1 Crylo Tech may take enforcement actions, including cease and desist notices, suspension of services, claims for damages, and injunctive relief, if unauthorized use of its IP is detected. Crylo Tech will aim to take a proportional approach to enforcement.
11.2 Prior to formal enforcement, Crylo Tech may offer dispute resolution through negotiation, mediation, or other alternative methods, provided both parties agree. - Monitoring, Audits, and Proactive Detection
12.1 Crylo Tech may use automated and manual tools to detect unauthorized distribution or misuse of its IP. Monitoring will be conducted to detect infringements without violating lawful privacy rights.
12.2 If misuse is identified, Crylo Tech may take actions such as takedowns or service suspensions to address the issue. - Trade Secrets, Confidentiality, and Restricted Access
13.1 Crylo Tech treats trade secrets and sensitive IP as highly confidential. Access is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis, and third parties must accept equivalent confidentiality obligations before being granted access.
13.2 Crylo Tech will implement technical protections such as encryption, key management, and access controls for sensitive materials. - Disposal, Retention, and Archival of IP Materials
14.1 Crylo Tech retains or disposes of IP-related materials following contractual obligations and record management policies. Where materials are retained for legal or contractual reasons, Crylo Tech will comply with retention schedules and provide access as needed. - Fees, Costs, and Recovery of Enforcement Expenses
15.1 Crylo Tech may recover reasonable costs for investigating and responding to IP infringement, including legal fees and mitigation costs, where the infringement results from a breach by the client. - Commercial Use of Crylo Tech Branding and Trademarks

Requests for use in marketing, partnerships, or other commercial activities should be directed to crylotechltd@gmail.com and will be considered under specific terms and conditions. - Interaction with Privacy, Data Protection, and Cookies Policies

If unresolved, IP disputes will be handled by the courts of England and Wales. - Policy Governance, Review, and Updates
