Who owns copyright on Fiverr?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 10:49 pm

Copyright law protects the rights of authors, artists, and other creators to produce creative works and to earn a living from them. In the United States, copyright protection extends to original works of authorship fixed in a tangible form, such as a book, a musical composition, or a painting.

Copyright law also protects the rights of creators to make derivative works, such as translations, adaptations, or remixes.

Fiverr is a platform where users can offer services for a fee. Fiverr does not own the copyright to the services offered on the platform, and users are not required to register with Fiverr to offer services.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking of using Fiverr for any creative work, be warned that the company automatically owns all rights to anything you create while using their platform. This includes any designs, illustrations, videos, or other content you create. So if you want to retain any rights to your work, make sure you negotiate that upfront before starting any projects.

As a result, users are free to offer services in any format and without any copyright restrictions.

Because Fiverr does not own the copyright to the services offered on the platform, users are free to offer services in any format and without any copyright restrictions. This is an important distinction, as Fiverr is not legally responsible for the content of services offered on the platform.

In other words, users are free to offer services that are unlawful, fraudulent, or offensive.

However, because Fiverr is a platform that connects users with others who offer services, Fiverr does have some responsibility for the quality of the services offered on the platform. Fiverr takes measures to ensure that the services offered on the platform are safe and reliable, and that users who purchase services from other users are satisfied with the quality of those services.
