Copyright & Takedown Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. Our Commitment

xschon respects intellectual property rights and takes copyright infringement seriously. We respond promptly to valid takedown notices and remove infringing content in accordance with Swiss law and, where applicable, the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act).

2. Advertiser Obligations

By publishing a profile on xschon, advertisers confirm that:

All uploaded photos and content are either their own original work or they hold a valid licence to use them.
They have obtained the explicit consent of any person depicted in uploaded images.
The content does not infringe the copyright, privacy, or other rights of any third party.

Advertisers who upload stolen or unlicensed content will have their profile immediately removed and may be reported to the relevant authorities.

3. How to Submit a Takedown Request

If you believe that content on xschon.ch infringes your copyright or uses your likeness without consent, please send a takedown notice to admin@xschon.ch with the subject line "Takedown Request" and include the following:

Your full name and contact information.
A description of the copyrighted work or image you claim has been infringed.
The URL(s) on xschon.ch where the infringing content appears.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.
Your electronic or physical signature.

4. Response Timeline

We acknowledge your notice within 48 hours of receipt.

We investigate and, if valid, remove or disable access to the infringing content within 5 business days.

We notify the advertiser of the removal and provide them with an opportunity to submit a counter-notice if they believe the removal was in error.

You receive confirmation of the action taken.

5. Counter-Notices

If content was removed in error, the advertiser may submit a counter-notice to admin@xschon.ch explaining why the content does not infringe any copyright. xschon will assess counter-notices on a case-by-case basis.

6. Repeat Infringers

xschon maintains a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers. Advertisers with multiple upheld takedown notices will be permanently banned from the platform.

7. Personal Image Rights

Under Swiss law, every person has a right to their own image. If your photos are being used without your consent — even if you previously consented and have since withdrawn it — you may request removal via the process above. We treat image rights requests with the same urgency as copyright notices.
