Intellectual Property

blua.blue is never responsible for content posted by its users as outlined in our terms & conditions.

Although this text is purely informative, we understand that your expectations towards handling any claims are based on the following.

We do investigate copyright and intellectual property claims in the following way

1. On https://blua.blue

A. How

Below every article is a report button ( flag report ) which allows filing complaints without having to sign up. If we find claims to be justified, we will process them accordingly. In this process, we might reach out using the provided email address in order to obtain more information (e.g. proof of ownership). Possible results are

  • Claim unjustified
  • Content removal
  • Banning of offending author from our platform

B. Provided data

In order to process a claim successfully, your claim should include information regarding reasonable proof of ownership and cooperation might be necessary when we reach out to further clarify. Please note that other than the email of the reporting individual, authors are provided with the content of the original claim made against them (Further correspondence is private).

C. Processing obligation

We do not grant a right to an answer. Due to the nature of complaints in general, not all complaints will be taken seriously and we do not promise a reaction regardless of outcome of the claim. Please be as specific as possible when reporting content in order to not be confused with spam or otherwise fraudulent claims.

D. Language

Regardless of the content in question, claims have to be made in English.

F. Automated claims & spam

We do not process any automated claims and reserve the right to block certain report-behavior without any feedback to the user interface.

2. Content delivered by https://blua.blue to external domains

Please note that when content is removed it does not necessarily mean it has been removed from the internet. blua.blue delivers content through webhooks and API and we have no control over content outside our domain.
