Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

Effective Date: [Insert Date]
Last Updated: [Insert Date]
Website: https://ventsmagazine.com.in

At ventsMagzine.com.in (“we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Website”), we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users, contributors, and partners to do the same. We are committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, which provides a mechanism for copyright holders to request removal of infringing content. This page outlines our DMCA policy, procedures for submitting a takedown notice, and how counter-notices are handled.

1. Introduction to DMCA Compliance

The DMCA is a United States copyright law that protects creators and copyright owners from unauthorized use of their work online. Even though our website is accessible worldwide, we voluntarily comply with DMCA provisions to ensure respect for intellectual property rights.

If you believe your copyrighted material has been used or displayed on ventsMagazine.com.in without authorization, you may file a DMCA Takedown Notice. Upon proper notification, we will investigate and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the infringing content.

2. Scope of This Policy

This DMCA Policy applies to:

• Articles, blogs, and editorial content published on ventsMagazine.com.in
• Images, infographics, logos, and design elements uploaded by contributors
• User-submitted comments or media
• Guest posts, sponsored content, or third-party advertising materials

Our goal is to balance the free flow of information with the protection of copyrighted works.

3. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner (or an authorized agent acting on behalf of the copyright owner), you may submit a takedown request. To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include the following details in writing:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. Provide URLs, titles, or descriptions.
2. Identification of the infringing material on our website. Include specific URLs where the material is located.
3. Contact information so we can reach you, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and valid email address.
4. A statement of good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by you, your agent, or the law.
5. A statement under penalty of perjury that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Submission of DMCA Notices

You can send your DMCA Takedown Notice to our designated copyright agent:

Email: [admin@meleyrs.com]
Address: [Varanasi, Lohta]

Please note: We prefer email submissions for faster processing.

4. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification. To be valid, your counter-notice must include:

1. Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and its location before removal.
2. A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification.
3. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for your judicial district (if in the U.S.) or your local court jurisdiction if outside the U.S.
5. Your physical or electronic signature.

Once a proper counter-notice is received, we may restore the content unless the original complainant files a legal action against you within 10–14 business days.

5. Repeat Infringers

We take violations of intellectual property rights seriously. Users who are found to repeatedly infringe copyright may have their accounts suspended, terminated, or permanently banned from contributing to ventsMagazine.com.in.

6. Limitations of Liability

• We are not liable for any damages resulting from the removal, disabling, or restoration of content under the DMCA process.
• We do not mediate disputes between copyright owners and alleged infringers.
• We reserve the right to reject notices that do not substantially comply with the DMCA requirements.

7. Fair Use Disclaimer

Please note that not all unauthorized uses of copyrighted content are considered infringements. Under U.S. copyright law, “fair use” allows limited use of copyrighted works without permission for purposes such as:

• Commentary and criticism
• News reporting
• Research and education
• Parody and satire

If you believe your work has been used under the principle of fair use, we encourage open communication before initiating a takedown request.

8. Misrepresentations

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees. Submitting false or misleading claims may result in legal consequences.

9. How We Handle DMCA Requests

1. Initial Review: Once we receive your notice, we will verify whether it complies with DMCA requirements.
2. Temporary Removal: If valid, we will promptly remove or disable access to the infringing material.
3. Notification: We will notify the alleged infringer with details of your claim.
4. Counter-Notice Option: The alleged infringer has the right to submit a counter-notification.
5. Final Resolution: Content may remain removed, be reinstated, or lead to legal proceedings depending on the outcome.

10. Modifications to This Policy

We reserve the right to update, modify, or revise this DMCA Policy at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be reflected on this page with the “Last Updated” date. Continued use of our website constitutes your acceptance of such modifications.
