This Intellectual Property Policy explains how copyright and related intellectual property rights are handled on INDUSTQA, an online question‑and‑answer and knowledge‑sharing platform operated by Tianjin MXK Intelligent Tech Co., Ltd. (“we”, “us”, or “our”).

This Policy should be read together with our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Policy. By using INDUSTQA, you agree to comply with this Copyright Policy.

1. Ownership of Content

1.1 INDUSTQA Content

Unless otherwise indicated, the overall design, layout, software, branding, and original content provided by INDUSTQA (excluding User Content defined below) are owned by or licensed to Tianjin MXK Intelligent Tech Co., Ltd. and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may access and use this content solely for your personal or internal business purposes in accordance with our Terms of Use. Any unauthorized reproduction, distribution, modification, public display, or other use of our content is prohibited unless you have obtained our prior written consent.

1.2 User Content

“User Content” means any content you submit, upload, post, or otherwise provide through the Services, including but not limited to:

1. Questions and answers;
2. Comments and discussions;
3. Articles, posts, and technical notes;
4. Code snippets, configuration files, formulas, drawings, diagrams, documents, and images;
5. Profile information and any other contributions you make.

Subject to the license granted to us under Section 2, you retain any copyright and other intellectual property rights that you already hold in your User Content.

2. License You Grant to INDUSTQA

By submitting or posting User Content on INDUSTQA, you grant Tianjin MXK Intelligent Tech Co., Ltd. and INDUSTQA a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free, transferable, sublicensable license to:

1. Use, host, store, cache, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and create derivative works of your User Content;
2. In any media formats and through any media channels now known or later developed;
3. For the purpose of operating, improving, promoting, and providing the Services, including indexing, search, recommendations, notifications, emails, and related features.

Where permitted by applicable law, this license continues for as long as your User Content is protected by intellectual property rights or until it is removed from the Services, subject to technical and legal limitations (for example, cached or archived copies).

You are responsible for ensuring that you have all necessary rights (including licenses and permissions from employers, co‑authors, or other rights holders) to grant this license.

3. Public Nature of User Content

INDUSTQA is designed as a public knowledge‑sharing platform for manufacturing and smart industry. Therefore:

1. Most User Content (including questions, answers, and many types of posts) is publicly visible and may be indexed by search engines;
2. Other users, and in some cases third parties, may view, quote, reference, link to, or otherwise interact with your User Content;
3. You should not submit any content that you do not wish to make publicly available, unless a specific feature clearly indicates otherwise (for example, certain private messages or restricted content areas).

You are solely responsible for:

1. Removing or editing your User Content if you no longer wish it to be publicly visible (within the options and technical capabilities provided by the platform);
2. Ensuring that you do not include trade secrets, confidential information, or export‑controlled data (see also our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy).

4. Industrial and Confidential Information

Although INDUSTQA focuses on manufacturing and smart industry, it is not intended for the disclosure of:

1. Classified, export‑controlled, or legally restricted technical data;
2. Highly confidential manufacturing process details, proprietary designs, or source code that your organization considers sensitive;
3. Information covered by nondisclosure agreements or internal company policies.

Publishing such information on INDUSTQA may violate your contractual obligations or applicable laws. You are fully responsible for any such disclosures.

If you accidentally publish confidential or sensitive information, you should promptly:

1. Remove or modify the relevant User Content (where possible); and
2. Contact us using the details in the “Contact Us” section so that we can provide reasonable assistance, for example by removing or disabling access to the content on our platform.

Please note that we cannot guarantee removal from third‑party caches, archives, or screenshots outside our control.

5. Use of User Content by Other Users

5.1 Viewing and Referencing

Other INDUSTQA users may:

1. View your public User Content;
2. Quote or reference it in their own posts, answers, or external documents;
3. Use it as inspiration or guidance for their own work, provided they comply with applicable law and any license terms that you clearly specify (if any).

5.2 No Automatic Commercial License Between Users

Except for what is reasonably necessary to use INDUSTQA in accordance with our Terms and Policies, we do not automatically grant other users a commercial license to your User Content.

If you wish to make your User Content available under a specific open source or open content license (for example, MIT, Apache‑2.0, or certain Creative Commons licenses), you should:
