Copyright, Trademarks and Takedown Policy

1. What this policy covers

This policy explains what intellectual property exists on EV Hub, what you may do with it, how we handle third-party rights, and how a rights holder can ask us to remove material. It applies to everything published at electricvehiclehub.net — articles, model pages, market breakdowns, tables, charts, calculated figures, images and page design — and to the structured datasets published at our /data/ endpoints.

2. Our editorial content

You may, without asking:

read, print and share individual pages for your own reference;
quote up to a few paragraphs or a single table, or cite a calculated figure, in editorial, academic or commercial analysis, provided you credit EV Hub and link to the page you used;
link to any page from your website, newsletter or social channel.

You may not, without written permission:

republish whole articles or substantial parts of them, on any platform, in any language;
scrape, harvest or machine-copy the site in bulk, or rebuild our dataset for resale or redistribution;
present our content, or a lightly edited version of it, as your own or as a work for hire;
use EV Hub content to train or fine-tune a commercial model where the output competes with this site.

Machine-readable access for search and AI answer engines is permitted as described in our llms.txt file; that permission is for indexing and citation, not for wholesale reproduction.

3. Our machine-readable data (CC BY 4.0)

The structured datasets published at our /data/ endpoints (vehicles, brands, tariffs) are released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0), as stated in each dataset's license field. This is a more permissive regime than the editorial content above:

You may use, adapt, and redistribute the structured data, including for commercial purposes, provided you give appropriate credit to EV Hub, link to the license, and indicate whether changes were made.
The license covers the structured data only. The editorial articles, prose, and page design are not part of this license and remain subject to section 2 above.
The datasets carry the same provenance and estimate caveats as the pages they come from. Where a value is an estimate, carry that caveat with it.

Full detail is in our Data Compliance policy and Terms of Use.

4. Calculated data and figures

Our landed-cost breakdowns, duty and VAT totals, and market comparisons are original calculations built from published tariff schedules and freight inputs. You are welcome to cite a figure with attribution and a link. If you reuse the numbers, please also carry the caveats that appear with them on the page — the estimates depend on assumptions that are stated in our landed-cost methodology and change over time.

These calculations are our original work and are protected under section 2, not the dataset license. A single calculated figure may be quoted; the underlying compilations — the full table of duty and VAT totals across all markets, or the complete set of landed-cost figures — may not be scraped or republished wholesale. Where a figure is produced by our calculator or comparison tool, it is a reference estimate, not a quote.

5. Third-party trademarks

Vehicle brand names, model names, marques, logos and trade dress belong to their respective owners. EV Hub uses them solely to identify the products being described or compared — a nominative, descriptive use. Its appearance on this site does not imply that any manufacturer, importer or dealer has approved, sponsored or endorsed us, or that we act as their agent. We are not a dealer, importer or distributor, and we do not sell vehicles.

Model names and marques appear in page titles, comparison tables, and data fields as labels — never as endorsements, and never in a way that suggests a brand is a sponsor or affiliate. We do not reproduce manufacturer logos as our own branding, and we do not claim any trademark in a third-party mark simply because it appears on this site.

If you believe a mark is used in a way that misleads readers or infringes your rights, write to us at [email protected] and we will review the usage and, where appropriate, adjust it.

6. Third-party photographs and illustrations

Photographs used on this site are either freely licensed (CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA) or, in some cases, supplied by manufacturers and other third parties for identification purposes. Full attribution for freely licensed photographs is published on our Image Credits and Copyright page. We claim no ownership of third-party imagery and remove it on request.

Where no freely licensed photograph exists, model pages may carry a plain technical illustration drawn by us — a labelled text card — never a third-party photograph presented without permission. Illustrations we made are our own work under section 2.

7. Notice and takedown procedure

If you hold the rights to material published here and believe it is used without permission, send a notice to [email protected] including:

your name, organisation (if any), postal address and email address;
identification of the work you say is infringed, with a link to the original where it is published;
the URL of each page on this site that carries the material, precise enough for us to locate it (page URL and, for images, the image URL);
a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent or the law;
a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them;
your signature (electronic is fine).

What happens next. We acknowledge notices within 5 business days. Where a claim is credible on its face, we remove or replace the material promptly — usually while the review is still running — and confirm the outcome to you in writing. We keep a record of the notice, the action taken and the date. If we believe the use is lawful and properly licensed, we will explain why, with our evidence, rather than simply ignoring the notice.

Counter-notice. If your material is removed and you believe the removal was mistaken (for example, you can show the licence we relied on), write to the same address. We will restore the material if you can substantiate your right to use it.

8. Reporting infringement of our content

If you find our content republished elsewhere without attribution — including whole-article copies, scraped model pages, or our tables and figures presented as another site's work — please tell us at [email protected] with the URL. We pursue these cases, and we appreciate the tips.

If you receive a claim that your own reuse of our material infringes, we will, on request, confirm the scope of the permission you relied on so you can respond accurately. That cuts both ways: where our material is genuinely misused, we will say so; where it was used within the terms of this policy, we will not leave you to defend an unmerited claim alone.

9. Scope and governing provisions

This policy applies to everything published at electricvehiclehub.net. It is governed by the same law and jurisdiction as our Terms of Use. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remainder continues in effect. Questions about permitted reuse that are not answered here can be sent to [email protected]; we respond to written permission requests on a case-by-case basis.

Where you reuse our material under this policy, the credit and link requirements in sections 2 and 3 are part of the permission itself. Attribution should be reasonable to the medium — a visible credit and link near the reused content, and the URL of the specific page you used. If you are unsure whether a use is permitted, ask before you publish; we would rather answer a question than receive a takedown request.
