Storage & Safekeeping

ProtectRite registration is a service. Its purpose is to help in establishing the completion date and the claim to authorship/creation of a property.

National Creative Registry’s ProtectRite service assumes that you have kept, and you acknowledge that you have kept, a copy of any materials uploaded to us. Although ProtectRite will exercise reasonable care to protect the registration file and the record of registration, it accepts no responsibility for loss, corruption, or destruction of the submitted file or the registration records. In the unlikely event that the manuscript file is destroyed, damaged, corrupted, or lost, due to National Creative Registry's failure to exercise reasonable care or by reason of any other cause whatsoever, it is agreed and understood that the maximum liquidated damages for the loss of any individual file is and shall be $0.01 USD. National Creative Registry encrypts and stores registration files on separate systems to insure redundancy. We have never lost a registration!
