DMCA policy
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act
policy (“Policy”) applies to the poriyaan.in website (“Website” or “Service”)
and any of its related products and services (collectively, “Services”) and
outlines how this Website operator (“Operator”, “we”, “us” or “our”) addresses
copyright infringement notifications and how you (“you” or “your”) may submit a
copyright infringement complaint.
Protection of intellectual property
is of utmost importance to us and we ask our users and their authorized agents
to do the same. It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear notifications
of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998, the text of which can be found at
the U.S. Copyright Office website. This DMCA policy was created with the help
of WebsitePolicies.com
What to consider before submitting a copyright complaint
Before submitting a copyright
complaint to us, consider whether the use could be considered fair use. Fair
use states that brief excerpts of copyrighted material may, under certain
circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting,
teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the
copyright holder. If you have considered fair use, and you still wish to
continue with a copyright complaint, you may want to first reach out to the
user in question to see if you can resolve the matter directly with the user.
Please note that if you are unsure
whether the material you are reporting is in fact infringing, you may wish to
contact an attorney before filing a notification with us.
The DMCA requires you to provide your
personal information in the copyright infringement notification. If you are
concerned about the privacy of your personal information, you may wish to hire
an agent to report infringing material for you.
Notifications of infringement
Filing a DMCA complaint is the start
of a pre-defined legal process. Your complaint will be reviewed for accuracy,
validity, and completeness. Our response may include the removal or restriction
of access to allegedly infringing material as well as a permanent termination
of repeat infringers’ accounts.
If we remove or restrict access to
materials or terminate an account in response to a Notification of alleged
infringement, we will make a good faith effort to contact the affected user
with information concerning the removal or restriction of access, along with
instructions for filing a counter-notification.
Counter-notifications
A user who receives a copyright
infringement Notification may make a counter-Notification pursuant to sections
512(g)(2) and (3) of the US Copyright Act. If you receive a copyright
infringement Notification, it means that the material described in the
Notification has been removed from our Services or access to the material has
been restricted. Please take the time to read through the Notification, which
includes information on the Notification we received.
Please note that if you are not sure
whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others or that the
material or activity was removed or restricted by mistake or misidentification,
you may wish to contact an attorney before filing a counter-notification.
Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in any portion of this Policy, the Operator reserves the
right to take no action upon receipt of a counter-notification. If we receive a
counter-notification that complies with the terms of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), we may
forward it to the person who filed the original Notification.
The process described in this Policy
does not limit our ability to pursue any other remedies we may have to address
suspected infringement.
Changes and amendments
We reserve the right to modify this
Policy or its terms related to the Website and Services at any time at our
discretion. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the bottom of this
page. We may also provide notice to you in other ways at our discretion, such
as through the contact information you have provided.
An updated version of this Policy
will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Policy unless
otherwise specified. Your continued use of the Website and Services after the
effective date of the revised Policy (or such other act specified at that time)
will constitute your consent to those changes.
