1.- Purpose
This document contains the full legal terms and conditions governing the access to, use of, and subscription to the services offered at www.safecreative.org by Safe Creative, S.L. (hereinafter, Safe Creative), a company of Spanish nationality with Tax Identification Number (NIF) B99161739, registered office at Calle Bari No. 39, 3rd Floor, Zaragoza (Spain), and registered in the Commercial Registry of Zaragoza under volume 3534, book 0, page 192, entry 1.
By signing up for, registering, and/or using the services of this website, you accept these terms and conditions in full and without reservation. These terms shall apply without prejudice to any particular or special terms that may be established in individual cases.
We therefore kindly ask you to read this document carefully.
The services offered through the website www.safestamper.com are subject to specific terms of preferential application.
For the purposes of this contract, the term "Client" or "User" refers to the party contracting Safe Creative’s services, whether a natural person or legal entity.
Any individual who registers, requests, or carries out contracting actions on behalf of a third party affirms and guarantees that they are acting in the interest of and on behalf of the Client, within a mandate and/or representation, and that they are legally authorized to bind the Client in all respects.
The designation of "user" will only carry the implications and rights recognized under consumer protection regulations when referring to natural persons acting for purposes unrelated to their commercial, business, trade, or professional activity, or to legal entities and unincorporated entities acting on a non-profit basis and outside the scope of a commercial or business activity.
Digital Service Identification
The digital service subject to this contract consists of access to a technological platform for managing copyright and intellectual property rights, through online tools that enable digital registration of works and rights, issuance of electronic certificates, evidence downloads, generation of unique identifiers and QR codes, title and time priority checks, document management, and additional functionalities depending on the plan contracted (personal, professional, or business).
Access to these services is granted via individual credentials generated upon subscription or account creation, and service execution begins as soon as the Client accesses their account and uses any of the functionalities offered
2.- Description of Safe Creative services
2.1 - Intellectual property registration
The intellectual property registration service may include one or more of the following features:
When registering a work, or part of it, sketches, or other content, the User attaches a digital copy of it or, failing that, sufficient information to identify the work unequivocally, which is stored in Safe Creative's computer systems. In registrations where the file containing the work is not attached or stored, but information for its identification, this may be photographs in the case of sculptures and other plastic arts, artistic or production details in the case of films, cryptographic summaries ("hashes") of the original file that the User safeguards, or other means, in any case under the responsibility of the User. If the information provided needed other complementary information to be used in the proof of registration, as happens with cryptographic summaries, which need the original file for verification, or as happens with encrypted information, which requires a password to access it, the User assumes the responsibility of safeguarding and providing such complementary information, if they needed to assert the proof of registration.
In any case, for registrations made without storage or deposit of the work, Safe Creative does not guarantee nor is responsible for the information provided by the User allowing the identification of the work. In registrations made with deposit of work, only when the User so indicates when making the registration, Safe Creative will allow access to a copy of the deposited work, either directly or through search engines, publications, and other tools or functionalities established by Safe Creative.
2.2 - Online gallery and work licensing: Creators
The Creators service is a space that allows the publication, dissemination, exhibition, and exposure of works from the Safe Creative registry, as well as a platform that facilitates the User's ability to transmit or transfer certain rights over their works to third parties.
These services are only available for works previously registered in Safe Creative. Through their profile and space within the Safe Creative platform, the User will determine the access permissions or privileges to their works, the visible information and content, the possibility of reproduction, public communication, or direct download through Creators or any other available functionality, condition, or limitation, as well as the options and offer of use, licensing, and exploitation of their rights that they allow to third parties and their conditions.
According to the above, this service includes the following functionalities:
The NFTs or PDFs generated by Safe Creative constitute the electronic support of the licenses or rights transferred. The information they include specifies the terms of the licensing, so that ownership of the NFT therefore implies ownership of the license or rights. Such NFTs are not negotiated or exchanged for equivalence, so they do not constitute a financial instrument in the legal sense. The above considerations are subject to modification as it is an emerging and changing technology. In any case, the User states that they know the operation and procedures of the transaction, management, use, and characteristics of crypto assets and NFT technology, as well as what relates to electronic or virtual wallets, the blockchain, or blockchain and its underlying technology, at least sufficiently and responsibly to understand and be able to use this technology in accordance with these conditions. Otherwise, consult a professional or refrain from using it.
All collections and payments are made through a secure platform and environments, managed by STRIPE Inc., a company incorporated in the USA, with its registered office at 354 Oyser Point Blv San Francisco, CA 94080. For this purpose, Safe Creative uses Stripe (stripe.com) to receive payments and deliver the corresponding amount for the sale of the licenses.
In the process of signing up for the Creators service, the User registers their own account on the Stripe platform for managing the collection of amounts received from the sale of licenses for their works.
2.2.1 In the case that the license support is an NFT.
Ownership of the NFT implies ownership of the license or rights. Such NFTs are not negotiated or exchanged for equivalence, so they do not constitute a financial instrument in the legal sense. The above considerations are subject to modification as it is an emerging and changing technology. In any case, the User states that they know the operation and procedures of the transaction, management, use, and characteristics of crypto assets and NFT technology, as well as what relates to electronic or virtual wallets, the blockchain, or blockchain and its underlying technology, at least sufficiently and responsibly to understand and be able to use this technology in accordance with these conditions. Otherwise, consult a professional or refrain from using it.
The NFTs used by Safe Creative are created through the protocol and blockchain of Polygon (formerly known as MATIC), which consists of a secondary blockchain connected to the Ethereum network. The Polygon network and its standards are currently considered a secure, fast, scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient framework in the context of NFTs.
The use of Polygon requires that such NFTs must be stored in a virtual wallet in MetaMask (https://metamask.io/), a web browser extension that includes an application for this and interacts with that blockchain. MetaMarsk is a third-party application, external and independent of Safe Creative. The buyer or assignee User must previously create and specifically configure their MetaMask wallet to connect to Polygon. For more information, consult the documentation and guides available at https://docs.metamask.io/guide/. In the future, it is possible that the system will allow the use of other different electronic wallets compatible with Polygon.
According to the above, our NFTs incorporate the identification data of the work, including the title, author, registration identifier, as well as the corresponding rights information (that is, the conditions of the license or assignment). The functionality of the NFT is, therefore, to establish a mechanism that guarantees the buyer, assignee, or holder a technologically secure means to hold the ownership of the license or assignment it represents. The NFT may have, in addition to the technical limitations inherent to the protocol and standards indicated, other technical limitations linked to the rights it represents, for example, to its transferability, units or spaces, and areas of application or use.
Third parties who are interested in contracting a license or rights under the terms offered must select and formalize a request within Creators, connect the electronic wallet to which the NFT will be linked and transferred, and enter the data of the holder or assignee in case of contracting on behalf of a third party. Once the payment has been made through the corresponding gateway, Safe Creative will generate and transfer to the buyer User's electronic wallet the NFT in accordance with the conditions indicated, will deliver to the transferring User the amount corresponding to the payment of the license or assignment of rights, and will retain the part of the payments corresponding to the services of creation of the NFT and use of the platform.
2.2.2 Return policy
As what is acquired are not physical works or copies, but digital copies or licensing agreements, it is not possible to return once the purchase is completed. The acquisition of a digital work or a licensing agreement implies explicitly accepting that no return or refund is possible.
2.3 – Trademark registration
The trademark registration service offered by Safe Creative may include one or more of the following procedures:
Safe Creative does not guarantee that registration applications will be accepted by the corresponding offices, and will not be held responsible in case of denial of the same and in the case of having been granted, when there are third-party oppositions. The costs associated with registration, as well as management fees, will not be refunded if the application is rejected by the registration office.
When requesting the registration of a trademark through Safe Creative, the user must provide all the necessary information related to the trademark and the type of registration they wish to make. Before proceeding with the application, the legal team will carry out the feasibility study (basic or advanced, according to the user's choice). This study is merely informative and does not commit the final decision of the registration office.
If the feasibility study concludes that the registration is not viable, the application will be canceled and the user will be reimbursed the funds corresponding to fees and procedures. However, the amount paid for the feasibility study will not be refundable once it has been issued.
It is important to highlight that Safe Creative acts exclusively as a representative of the user, acting as an intermediary before the registration offices. The user will be the legitimate owner of the registered trademark.
Once the user provides the required documentation, the legal team will proceed to process the application before the corresponding office. Once submitted, the user will receive a copy of the submission certificate.
Throughout the process, the legal team will keep the user informed about the status and progress of the application.
Safe Creative reserves the right not to manage those trademark registration applications that, at its exclusive discretion, it considers inappropriate. This includes, among other reasons, non-compliance with the required legal or technical requirements, the existence of potential conflicts with third-party rights, the lack of response or due collaboration by the user to the indications or requests for extension of information or specification that the legal team may raise to properly manage the applications. Likewise, Safe Creative may reject the management of applications that do not aim to protect commercial activities of products or services. In these cases, Safe Creative will inform the user of such a decision and, if appropriate, will reimburse the fees and management costs not accrued, except for the amount paid for the feasibility study, which will not be refundable.
3.- Access and use of services
Safe Creative's services are available through the web spaces/sites safecreative.org and safestamper.com (subject to specific particular conditions) and are offered through a secure and reliable environment by means of digital certificates. The User must have a computer, terminal, mobile device, tablet, or equivalent, connectivity, and the operating systems and applications necessary to access the Internet. Access to the indicated websites is optimized for the latest tested and stable versions on the most common equipment and browsers.
Mobile applications are optimized for devices that support the operating system versions and compatible terminals indicated in the Google Play and App Store repositories. The applications will not access contact data, although they will collect the date, time, and duration of access to them. The user must allow the storage and modification of data on the device, the use of connectivity services, and the additional requirements and configurations indicated in the download, installation, and activation of these applications.
The use of the work licensing services through NFT is subject to additional conditions and requirements, as described in point 2.2 of these conditions.
Registration/sign-up as a user is necessary to use the registration, gallery, and third-party licensing services through NFT or PDF.
Once the registration data has been entered, the User will receive an activation message by email at the indicated address, with a hypertext link that must be validated for the registration to be completed. If this action is not carried out, the registration will be invalidated. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory to be able to register and contract, and without them, the corresponding account activation will not be processed. The access data, username, and password are for the exclusive use of the Client, non-transferable, and must be kept confidential. In case of loss or compromise of the above, you must contact us immediately so that we can block it. Otherwise, the Client will be responsible for the acts performed through such data.
In case of contracting through the Internet, at the end of the process, the confirmation that it has been successfully completed will be shown on the screen, and/or an email message will be sent to the address provided by the Client, reflecting their data, payment confirmation, as well as the description or list of the products and/or services contracted and their price, within a reasonable period and in any case within 24 hours. If the Client wishes to receive the invoice in paper format, they must communicate this in writing to our Customer Service.
Subscription to personal or corporate services can be contracted for monthly or annual automatic renewal periods, which the user can cancel at any time.
The Client or User will be solely responsible for the data or information provided, the consequences, results, effects, damages, and losses that derive from the above, in particular from the publication, data, access, permissions, and rights stated in relation to the works, the offering and the licensing conditions established, and the contracting with third parties in said terms. Safe Creative only provides a platform that facilitates the self-management of rights and the commercialization or granting of licenses or rights over works, without the above implying mandate, representation, commission, or individual or collective management of rights in the terms of Spanish legislation on intellectual property. Licenses or rights are not, in any case, negotiated, granted, or transferred by Safe Creative, but it merely incorporates the information about the rights subject to the transaction that the parties (transferring User and transferee User) celebrate on their own account in the NFT that it generates and assigns to the buyer/transferee at the specific request of the parties.
4. User Obligations
4.1 General obligations for all services.
4.2 Additional obligations for the use of intellectual property registration and other related services
4.3 Additional obligations for online gallery services and licensing of works through NFT.
4.4 Obligations in case of claims about registrations made
In case Safe Creative receives a claim related to a work registered by a user, the user must attend to Safe Creative's request to confirm the veracity of the information provided in the registration. For this, it will be necessary for the user to sign a responsible declaration in which they ratify the accuracy of the registered data.
If the user does not respond to this request within the established period, Safe Creative reserves the right to cancel the registration of the affected work.
In addition, in the case that a user receives three or more claims about the information registered in different works, Safe Creative reserves the right to cancel the user's account and delete all records associated with that account.
5.- Safe Creative Commitments
6.- Privacy policy
Registration or sign-up as a Safe Creative user also implies the express acceptance of our Privacy Policy which regulates the treatment of the personal information of our Users, of the access keys to the service, and the implemented security measures that prevent the access, modification, or deletion of our files by unauthorized persons.
7.- Economic conditions
Safe Creative offers certain limited free services, as well as paid services. The contracting modalities and prices of the registration services are shown on https://www.safecreative.org/, and may be updated periodically.
For the NFT generation and assignment services, Safe Creative will apply a fixed amount for the generation and transmission or assignment of the NFT to the assignee User, as well as a variable amount (percentage) on the price of the license/assignment of rights, for the concept of access and use of the platform. These amounts, including the Value Added Tax that may correspond, will be determined before payment and added to the final amount that the acquirer of the NFT must pay, and will be liquidated with the selling User or assignor. In the case of Users resident in the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla, the operation will be subject to the special taxes that are applicable and will be liquidated by the assigning User.
The payment methods specifically indicated at the time of purchase are accepted. In any case, Safe Creative will not have access to the account, card, or other payment methods data entered on the platform, which are processed through the virtual gateway of a third party, which uses the encryption of communications preventing the interception of data in transit, all in accordance with the usual standards and security requirements established in current legislation for payment providers or intermediaries.
In the event of non-compliance with any of the payment obligations established in this contract, the non-complying party will, automatically and without the need for prior payment request by the creditor party, be in default and will be obliged to pay the amounts owed increased by an interest consisting of the legal interest of money established annually.
Non-payment of any amount will also result in immediate interruption of access to the service. Such access will be restored at the time when the pending payment amounts are paid, as well as the corresponding interests and expenses.
In accordance with article 112 of the General Law for the Defense of Consumers and Users, when the amount of a purchase has been fraudulently or improperly charged using the number of a payment card, the consumer and user who is its holder may demand the immediate cancellation of the charge. In such case, the corresponding debit and credit entries in the accounts or cards will be made as soon as possible.
8.- Intellectual property and use of content
Safe Creative grants registered Users a free and worldwide license to use the "Safe Creative" trademark, exclusively for the purpose of identifying or referencing the registration of the work or deposit in favor of Safe Creative, either directly or through plugins, bookmarklets, and other tools or computer applications that facilitate such registration. Any other use of the "Safe Creative" trademark will require express written consent.

11.- Right of Withdrawal and Cancellation of Automatic Renewal
11.1. Right of Withdrawal for Consumers
In accordance with Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007 of November 16, the right of withdrawal only applies to Clients/Users who qualify as consumers or users under said regulation and its supplementary provisions.
When the contracted service involves a professional individual registration of rights declarations or the generation of NFTs, the right of withdrawal does not apply, as these are personalized services executed in full at the Client's request. This exclusion is based on Article 103, sections a) and m) of the aforementioned Royal Legislative Decree.
11.2. Digital Services Supplied Without Physical Support
In the case of personal or business subscriptions, the digital service is made available to the User immediately upon contracting. By accessing their account with credentials and using the services (such as work registration, certificate download, etc.), the Client expressly authorizes the start of execution and acknowledges that, under Article 103.m) of the Royal Legislative Decree, they forfeit their right of withdrawal.
By accepting these terms, the Client declares that they have been clearly and understandably informed in advance about this forfeiture and gives their express and unequivocal consent.
11.3. Subscription Services
The User expressly acknowledges and agrees that by subscribing, the provision of digital content is not delivered on a tangible medium. Consequently, they expressly authorize Safe Creative S.L. to begin providing the service immediately upon completion of the payment process, fully aware that this entails forfeiting their right of withdrawal under Article 103.m) of Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007.
Furthermore, the User acknowledges that the monthly subscription is automatically renewable, configured as a continuous service contract. Each monthly renewal constitutes a new execution of the service under the same terms and conditions initially accepted, unless otherwise expressly modified by Safe Creative S.L., which will notify the User in advance and with sufficient notice.
11.4. Cancellation of Automatic Renewal
Notwithstanding the above, please note that Safe Creative subscriptions do not require a minimum commitment period and incur no penalties for cancellation. The Client may cancel the upcoming automatic renewal of their plan at any time through the account settings section or by contacting the sales department via the usual communication channels.
The cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period, with no additional cost.
In cases where the nature of the contracted service does allow for the exercise of the right of withdrawal, the Client may do so within 14 calendar days from the date the contract was entered into, provided that service execution has not yet started.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Client must submit a written declaration clearly expressing their decision to terminate the contract. A model withdrawal form is available here: Download.
