Copyright and DMCA

1. Introduction

Welcome to KibbeTypes (“we,” “our,” or “us”). This Copyright and Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Policy explains how we protect intellectual property and respond to copyright concerns on our website at kibbetypes.com (the “Site”), including any subdomains.

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and respond to valid copyright notices under United States law.

2. Copyright Ownership

Unless we say otherwise, the Site and its text, graphics, logos, illustrations, data, and software (collectively, the “Content”) are owned by KibbeTypes or used with permission. Copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws protect this Content.

The selection, arrangement, and presentation of the Content are also protected by United States and international copyright laws.

3. Our Independent Perspective

KibbeTypes is an independent educational resource that explores the style system created by David Kibbe. KibbeTypes is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to David Kibbe, the creator of that system. He has not authorized, sponsored, or approved this Site or its content.

References to “Kibbe” and related terminology identify the subject of our independent education and commentary. They do not suggest an official relationship or endorsement.

We do not claim ownership of David Kibbe's work, methods, or concepts. The analysis, quiz, illustrations, and shopping guidance on this Site reflect KibbeTypes's own editorial interpretation.

For official guidance or services, please consult David Kibbe's official channels.

4. Fair Use

United States copyright law may permit limited use of protected material for purposes such as criticism, commentary, teaching, scholarship, or research.

When we quote, reference, or discuss work created by others, we aim to keep that use limited, add meaningful editorial context, and credit the source when appropriate. Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use depends on its specific facts. This policy does not make a blanket legal conclusion about every use.

If you believe a specific use infringes your copyright, please contact us or follow the DMCA notice procedure below.

You may not:

• Reproduce, distribute, publicly display, or publicly perform the Content
• Modify or create derivative works of the Content
• Use the Content for any commercial purpose
• Remove any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices from the Content

This permission ends if you breach these restrictions. KibbeTypes may also withdraw it at any time.

When we receive a valid notice, we will act promptly to remove the material or disable access to it as required by law.

8. Counter Notification Procedure

If material was removed or access was disabled because of a DMCA notice and you believe the action resulted from a mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter notification. It must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.

4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of such person.

Please send your counter notification to:

If we receive a valid counter notification, we will promptly send a copy to the person who submitted the original notice.

In appropriate circumstances, we may restrict or end access to our services when we determine that a person has repeatedly infringed intellectual property rights.
