| 50 | +## Scope |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +This policy covers: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +- Unauthorized use of trademark logos or brand imagery in server icons |
| 55 | +- False claims of official status or endorsement |
| 56 | +- Server names or descriptions that imply affiliation where none exists |
| 57 | +- Any other trademark misuse in server definitions |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +## Good Faith |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +McpMux operates this registry in good faith as a community resource. Server |
| 62 | +definitions are contributed by community members, not by McpMux. We do not |
| 63 | +verify the trademark compliance of every submission but act promptly on valid |
| 64 | +complaints. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +## Counter-Notice |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +If your listing was removed or modified and you believe the takedown was in |
| 69 | +error, you may submit a counter-notice explaining why you believe your use is |
| 70 | +lawful (e.g., nominative fair use, authorized use). We will evaluate |
| 71 | +counter-notices on a case-by-case basis. |
