Last updated: October 30, 2026

This Copyright Notice explains what MDS Collective Pte. Ltd. (“MDS,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) owns, what you may and may not do with it, and how to ask for permission or report copying. It forms part of our Terms & Conditions.

1. What we own

Everything on www.mdscollective.com and every other website, page, or account we operate is owned by MDS or our licensors unless we say otherwise. This includes:

• source code, including the Account Manager game;
• proposals, pitch decks, audits, reports, strategies, and other materials we share with prospective or current clients; and
• the content we publish on RedNote, WeChat, Douyin, LinkedIn, and other platforms under our own accounts.

This work is protected by the Copyright Act 2021 of Singapore, the Copyright Law of the People’s Republic of China, the laws of other countries, and international treaties including the Berne Convention. Our names, logos, and product names (including Paragon, Atlas, Mystique, and Cerebro) are also protected as trademarks, as set out in our Terms.

• Quote short excerpts, provided you credit MDS Collective clearly and link back to the original page.
• Print or save a page for your own reference or for internal discussion within your organization.
• Allow public search engines and AI answer engines to show summaries of our pages that cite and link back to the Site.

• Copy or imitate our website design, layout, copy, or imagery for another website, product, pitch, or marketing material.
• Use our photography, video, or graphics.

• Use our names, logos, or product names in a way that suggests a connection with MDS that does not exist.

4. Proposals and pitch materials

Proposals, decks, audits, and other materials we prepare for a prospective client are shared in confidence and only so that client can evaluate our services. Sharing a proposal with you does not give you, or anyone you share it with, a right to use our ideas, strategies, or creative work. If you would like to use any part of a proposal without engaging us, please contact us first.

5. Client and third-party content

Client names, logos, photography, and other material supplied by our clients and partners belong to their respective owners and appear on the Site with permission. Articles and press coverage we link to belong to their publishers. Please contact the owner directly to ask about using their material.

7. Reporting copying

If you see our work used without permission, please email us at hello [at] mdscollective.com with a link or screenshot showing where it appears.

We protect our work. Depending on the case, we may ask the person responsible to remove it, file takedown requests with the website host, search engine, or social media platform concerned, including Chinese platforms, and take legal action where appropriate.

If you believe something on our Site infringes your own rights, email us with the details and the location of the material and we will review it promptly.
