Mahtari Vandana is an informational portal committed to respecting intellectual property rights. We operate as an Online Service Provider under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). This policy outlines the procedures for reporting copyright infringement and our process for addressing such claims.

1. DMCA Notice of Infringement

If you believe that any content hosted on our website violates your copyright, you may submit a formal notification. To be valid under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)), your notice must be in writing and include:

  • Subject Line: Must clearly state “DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice.”
  • Authorized Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  • Identification of Work: A detailed description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
  • Specific Location (URL): The exact URL(s) on our site where the allegedly infringing material is located. (General site links are not sufficient).
  • Contact Information: Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and a professional email address.
  • Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a “good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”

  2. Notify the individual responsible for posting the content (if applicable).
  3. Terminate access for repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
