Audio content within the App is either:

• Originally created by or on behalf of the Company

All audio content is provided under license to users and may not be reproduced, distributed, or used outside of the App.

1.3 Trademarks

“MindLotus” and the MindLotus logo are trademarks of Zadio EOOD. “Zadio” is a trade name of Zadio EOOD. Use without prior written permission is prohibited.

2. EU Notice-and-Action Procedure (primary)

This procedure reflects Article 14 of Directive 2000/31/EC (E-Commerce Directive), Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (DSA), and the Bulgarian ZAPSP and E-Commerce Act.

2.4 Our response

We will: (a) assess the notice in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary, and objective manner; (b) where substantiated, expeditiously remove or disable access to the item; (c) notify the submitter of our decision and redress options; (d) inform the affected content provider where applicable; (e) keep records of all notices and actions.

All content has been cleared for in-app licensed playback for personal, non-commercial use. It is not cleared for public performance, broadcast, synchronisation, or commercial distribution.

6.1 No liability for User Content

The App allows users to load their own audio files for playback. We have no knowledge of, control over, or responsibility for user-supplied files. Users are solely responsible for ensuring they have the legal right to use any audio they load.
