Copyright Policy

Last Updated: September 5, 2026

1. Introduction

Cradigg respects intellectual property rights and expects its users to do the same. This Copyright Policy outlines our commitment to protecting copyrights and the process for reporting alleged copyright infringement on the Cradigg platform.

We take copyright infringement seriously and will respond to all reports submitted through our reporting system.

2. What is Copyright?

Copyright is a legal right that protects original works of authorship, including:

  • Literary works (books, articles, blog posts)
  • Musical works (songs, compositions)
  • Dramatic works (plays, scripts)
  • Artistic works (paintings, photographs, digital art)
  • Software and code
  • Videos and films
  • Audio recordings
  • Digital products (ebooks, templates, courses)

Copyright protection arises automatically when a work is created and fixed in a tangible form. In Nigeria, copyright is governed by the Copyright Act.
