Intellectual Property Policy

Effective Date: 26-01-2025

Welcome to Khatauli.in (“the Platform”). We respect intellectual property rights and expect our users to do the same. This policy outlines how intellectual property (IP) is handled on our Platform and what steps users must take to comply with copyright and trademark laws.

1. Copyright Ownership & User-Generated Content

  • Users retain ownership of the content they upload but grant the Platform a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and promote the content.
  • Users must only upload content they own or have permission to use.
  • If users unintentionally upload copyrighted material, they must remove it immediately upon notification.
  • The Platform does not claim ownership of user-generated content but reserves the right to moderate or remove content violating IP laws.

2. Use of Third-Party Content

  • Users should ensure any content they upload (text, images, videos, audio) is either original, properly licensed, or falls under fair use.
  • We recommend using CC0 (Creative Commons Zero) licensed content to minimize copyright disputes.
  • Unauthorized use of trademarks, logos, or brand names without permission is strictly prohibited.

3. Copyright Infringement & DMCA Compliance

If you believe your copyrighted work has been used without permission, you can submit a copyright infringement notice to [Your Contact Email] with the following details:

  • Your name and contact details.
  • A description of the copyrighted work.
  • The URL of the infringing content.
  • A statement affirming your ownership of the copyright.
  • A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate.

We will review complaints and may remove or disable access to infringing content. Repeated violations may lead to account suspension or termination.

4. User Responsibility & Legal Safeguard

  • Users are fully responsible for the content they upload.
  • The Platform is not liable for user-generated content but will take reasonable action when notified of copyright violations.
  • Users agree to indemnify the Platform against legal claims arising from their content.
  • Any disputes will be governed under Indian IT laws and jurisdiction in Uttar Pradesh (UP).

5. Modification of This Policy

We reserve the right to update this policy periodically. Continued use of the Platform implies acceptance of the revised terms.

By using our Platform, you agree to this Intellectual Property Policy and acknowledge your responsibility to respect copyright laws. For further assistance, contact support@khatauli.in.
