Trademark And Copyright Policy
Nexus Real Estate Group values and respects the intellectual property rights of others and takes all allegations of trademark and copyright infringement seriously. This Trademark and Copyright Policy is an integral part of our Member Agreement and is intended to ensure that all users of the Nexus platform understand their obligations concerning intellectual property. This policy applies to all Content that is posted, shared, or otherwise made available on the Nexus Real Estate Group platform by third parties and not by Nexus itself (“Third Party Content”). Any capitalized terms used but not explicitly defined within this policy shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Member Agreement.
Takedown Notice Process:
To uphold the integrity of intellectual property rights and maintain compliance with applicable laws, Nexus provides a structured process for the submission of takedown notices concerning Third Party Content that is alleged to infringe on a third party’s intellectual property rights. The policies and procedures governing such notices are outlined in detail below.
Disclosure Of Takedown Notices:
Please be advised that whether or not Nexus removes Third Party Content from its platform upon receipt of a takedown notice, the company may provide a copy of such takedown notice to the alleged infringer. The notice may include the name and contact information of the party submitting the claim. Furthermore, Nexus reserves the right, at its sole discretion and in appropriate circumstances, to disable and/or permanently terminate the accounts of users who infringe or repeatedly infringe the intellectual property rights of others or who otherwise post unlawful Third Party Content. If you are uncertain as to whether the material you wish to report constitutes infringement, you should seek legal counsel before submitting a takedown notice. Nexus does not and cannot provide legal advice regarding whether you are entitled to file a takedown notice.
Copyright Infringement:
If you hold a good faith belief that Third Party Content on the Nexus platform infringes upon your copyright-protected material, you have the right to submit a takedown notice requesting the removal of such content. Nexus has designated an agent to receive notices of claimed copyright infringement and will only act on requests that comply with the required procedures as set forth below. Any takedown request must be complete and valid in accordance with applicable copyright laws before any action is taken.
Trademark Infringement:
Nexus does not serve as an intermediary for resolving trademark disputes between third parties and is not in a position to conduct an in-depth trademark analysis. Additionally, Nexus cannot act on reports of trademark infringement that require a detailed review or legal adjudication beyond what is necessary to establish clear cases of infringement. If you believe your trademark rights have been infringed, we encourage you to directly contact the alleged infringer or seek resolution through legal means such as court proceedings or arbitration. However, if you choose to submit a notice of trademark infringement to Nexus, we will conduct a limited review of reasonable complaints and may remove Third Party Content in cases where infringement is clear and unambiguous.
Takedown Notice Procedure:
To initiate a takedown request for either copyright or trademark infringement, you must submit a written notice that includes all of the following information:
A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or trademark interest.
A detailed description of the copyrighted work(s) or trademark(s) that you claim have been infringed, including the registration number and registration office, if applicable.
A precise description specifying the location on the Nexus platform of the material that you claim is infringing (e.g., URL or other identifying information).
Your full legal name, email address, mailing address, and telephone number.
A statement affirming that you have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material or trademark in question is not authorized by the intellectual property owner, its agent, or applicable law.
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, confirming that the information contained in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or trademark owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright or trademark owner.
Submitting A Takedown Notice:
To expedite processing, we strongly encourage the submission of takedown notices through our Copyright and Trademark Reporting Form. Alternatively, you may submit a takedown notice via email to our designated agent at legal@nexus.realestate.
For those who prefer to submit notices via physical mail, please send all correspondence to our designated agent at:

Attn: Legal Department
t205 River Street, Haverhill, MA 01832
Legal Consequences Of False Claims:
Please note that submitting false claims of infringement may result in legal consequences, including liability for damages under applicable copyright or trademark laws. If you are uncertain about whether your intellectual property rights have been infringed or whether a particular use constitutes infringement, we strongly recommend seeking professional legal advice before proceeding with a takedown request.
Policy Updates:
Nexus Real Estate Group reserves the right to modify this Trademark and Copyright Policy at any time to reflect changes in the law or our internal policies. It is your responsibility to review this policy periodically for any updates or amendments. Your continued use of the Nexus platform signifies your acceptance of the terms set forth in this policy, as it may be amended from time to time.
