Copyright & Trademark
This notice explains who owns the material published on erpat.app and in the ERPat platform, what you may and may not do with it, and how a rights holder can raise a claim with us.
On this page
© 2015–2026 BytesCrafter IT Solutions. All rights reserved.
ERPat System is developed and operated by BytesCrafter IT Solutions. The software, this website, and the material published on both are protected by copyright, trademark, and related rights under Philippine law and under the international treaties the Philippines is party to.
What this notice does not cover.
Nothing here affects the data and content you put into ERPat. You keep every right in it — see Section 9 below, and Section 6 of our Terms of Service.
1.What We Own
Except where a third party is credited, everything published on erpat.app and everything that makes up the ERPat platform is owned by BytesCrafter IT Solutions or its licensors. That includes:
- The ERPat software, its modules, source code, database schemas, and application interfaces;
- The design, layout, structure, and styling of this website and of the platform;
- Text, headings, product descriptions, pricing presentation, and marketing copy;
- Product screenshots, illustrations, icons arranged into original compositions, and photographs of our team and offices;
- Articles published on our blog and the guides in our Knowledge Base; and
- The ERPat name, logo, and the other marks listed in Section 5.
Copyright subsists in these works automatically from the moment they are created and fixed in a tangible form. No registration or published notice is required for the rights to exist — the notice above is a statement of ownership, not the source of it.
2.The Law That Applies
Our rights, and your obligations, arise under Philippine law and are recognised internationally:
| Instrument | What it governs |
|---|---|
| Republic Act No. 8293 — Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines | Copyright, trademarks, and related rights in the Philippines, administered by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL). Copyright protection is automatic on creation. |
| Republic Act No. 8792 — Electronic Commerce Act of 2000 | Recognises electronic documents and data messages, and addresses liability for infringing material transmitted through online services. |
| Republic Act No. 10175 — Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 | Covers offences committed through information and communications technology, including unauthorised access to and interference with protected systems. |
| Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works | Extends protection for our works automatically to every other member state, without formality. The Philippines has been a party since 1951. |
| WIPO Copyright Treaty and the TRIPS Agreement | Set the international baseline for protecting works in digital form, including the technological measures and rights-management information attached to them. |
Because protection is automatic across Berne member states, material taken from this site without permission is infringing in most countries, not only in the Philippines.
3.What You May Do
You do not need to ask us for any of the following, provided you do not misrepresent the source and do not present our material as your own:
- View, browse, and print pages from this site for your own internal or personal reference;
- Quote a reasonable extract of an article, guide, or page for the purposes of comment, criticism, news reporting, teaching, or research — with attribution to ERPat System and a link back to the page you took it from. This is fair use under Section 185 of RA 8293;
- Link to any public page on erpat.app using its ordinary title or URL;
- Use our product screenshots and logo in news coverage or analyst material about ERPat, unaltered and credited to ERPat System / BytesCrafter IT Solutions; and
- Share a page through the sharing controls we provide on our articles.
If your intended use is not clearly covered above, ask first at [email protected]. We answer permission requests, and the answer is often yes.
4.What You May Not Do
Without our prior written permission, you may not:
- Copy, republish, redistribute, or mirror substantial portions of this site or of the platform, in any medium;
- Create derivative works from our material, or translate it, for publication;
- Systematically extract, scrape, harvest, or index our content by automated means beyond ordinary search-engine crawling, including for the purpose of training or fine-tuning machine-learning models;
- Frame, in-line link, or otherwise present our pages so that they appear to be part of another site;
- Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright notice, trademark, watermark, or other proprietary marking; or
- Use our material in a way that suggests we endorse, sponsor, or are affiliated with you, your product, or your organisation.
These restrictions sit alongside — and do not replace — the acceptable-use rules in Section 7 of our Terms of Service and the licence restrictions in our End User License Agreement. Where the three overlap, the Terms of Service govern.
5.Our Trademarks
The following names, logos, and marks identify products and services of BytesCrafter IT Solutions and are used as our trademarks, whether or not they appear with a trademark symbol:
| Mark | What it identifies |
|---|---|
| ERPat System, ERPat | Our enterprise resource planning, HRIS, and payroll platform, and the word marks used for it. |
| The ERPat logo | The hexagonal mark and the ERPat wordmark, in all of the colour variants we publish. |
| BytesCrafter, BytesCrafter IT Solutions | The company that develops and operates ERPat System. |
| Syntry | Our time-tracking and productivity application. |
| AkbAI | Our AI assistant for the ERPat platform. |
Our rights in these marks arise from our use of them in commerce and from the protection RA 8293 affords marks used in the Philippines, together with the corresponding protection available in other jurisdictions where we operate. Nothing on this site should be read as granting you any licence or right to use them.
6.Using Our Marks
You may refer to ERPat by name — in a sentence, in a comparison, or in a list of tools you use — without asking us. That is ordinary descriptive reference and we do not object to it. When you do, use “ERPat” or “ERPat System” as an adjective before a noun (“the ERPat platform”), keep the spelling and capitalisation as shown above, and do not pluralise or abbreviate the mark.
Anything beyond a plain textual reference needs our written permission. In particular, do not:
- Use our logo or wordmark in your own product, service, application, domain name, social media handle, or company name;
- Alter our logo — recolour it, redraw it, stretch it, add effects, or combine it with other elements;
- Use a mark, name, or design confusingly similar to ours; or
- Use our marks in a way that implies partnership, certification, endorsement, or an official relationship that does not exist.
Partners, resellers, and integrators receive brand assets and usage terms as part of their agreement with us. For any other request — press, events, integration listings, or case studies — write to [email protected] and tell us what you intend to publish and where.
7.Third-Party Names & Government References
This site names other organisations, agencies, and products. All such names, marks, and logos remain the property of their respective owners, and we use them only descriptively — to say accurately what ERPat does.
No affiliation or endorsement.
ERPat System and BytesCrafter IT Solutions are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, accredited by, or certified by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), the Social Security System (SSS), PhilHealth, the Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG Fund), the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), or any other government agency, unless we state a specific accreditation in writing and identify it by name.
Where our pages describe a feature as “BIR-ready”, “DOLE-compliant”, or as supporting SSS, PhilHealth, or Pag-IBIG, that describes what the software is built to help you produce and file. It is not a representation that the agency has reviewed, approved, or certified ERPat, and it does not transfer your own statutory obligations to us.
The same applies to any other third-party name that appears on this site, including operating systems, browsers, cloud services, social media platforms, and the products discussed in our articles. Reference to them does not imply any relationship between those owners and ERPat.
8.Customer Names, Logos & Testimonials
The customer logos, company names, testimonials, and case studies published on our site belong to the organisations and individuals they identify. They are displayed with those customers’ consent, as recognition of a working relationship — not as a directory, a promotional listing, or a claim that they endorse any particular statement we make elsewhere on this site.
We do not claim any right in a customer’s mark beyond the permission they have given us to display it, and that permission does not extend to you: if you want to use one of those logos, ask the company that owns it.
If you are a customer and you would like your logo, name, quotation, or story removed or amended, write to [email protected] and we will action it promptly — no explanation required.
9.Your Content Stays Yours
Nothing in this notice gives us any ownership of the data, records, documents, or content you submit to, store in, or generate through ERPat. As between you and ERPat, you retain all rights, title, and interest in your Customer Data.
The only licence you grant us is the limited one described in Section 6 of our Terms of Service and Section 5 of our End User License Agreement — to host, process, transmit, display, and back up that data solely so we can provide, secure, support, and improve the Service for you.
You are responsible for holding the rights you need in what you upload. If you place someone else’s copyrighted material into ERPat, this notice does not make that lawful.
10.Open-Source & Third-Party Acknowledgements

11.Reporting Copyright or Trademark Infringement
We respect other people’s intellectual property and we expect the same in return. If you believe material published on erpat.app, or stored in the ERPat platform, infringes a copyright or trademark you own or are authorised to act for, tell us and we will look into it.
Send a written notice that includes all of the following, so we can act on it without going back and forth:
- Your name, postal address, email address, and telephone number, and the rights holder you represent if that is not you;
- A description of the work or mark you say has been infringed, and — for a registered mark — its registration number and jurisdiction;
- The exact URL or location of the material you are complaining about, specific enough for us to find it;
- A statement that you believe in good faith that 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
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Where to send it.
Copyright and trademark notices: [email protected]
Postal address: BytesCrafter IT Solutions, Biñan, Laguna, Philippines 4024
We aim to acknowledge a complete notice within five business days. Where a claim appears well founded, we may remove or disable access to the material while we assess it — doing so is not an admission of liability. We will make a reasonable effort to notify whoever posted the material, so that they can respond.
If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same address with your contact details, the material and location concerned, and an explanation of why you believe it was removed in error. We may restore the material unless the original complainant pursues the matter further.
We may suspend or terminate the accounts of users who infringe repeatedly, as provided in Section 16 of our Terms of Service.
This procedure is offered to rights holders in any jurisdiction. It follows the notice-and-counter-notice pattern that international claimants will recognise from the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act, while our own obligations and remedies are governed by Philippine law under Section 12 below. Submitting a notice that knowingly misrepresents material as infringing may expose you to liability.
12.Governing Law, Changes & How to Contact Us
This notice is governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, and disputes arising from it are resolved as set out in Section 20 of our Terms of Service. Nothing here limits any right or remedy available to us under Philippine or international law.
We may update this notice as our marks, our published material, or the components we rely on change. We will revise the “Last Updated” date above, and for material changes we will give reasonable notice. Questions, permission requests, and infringement claims can be sent to:
