ZipZy® Copyright Policy

This Policy applies to content hosted, stored, generated, or transmitted through the Services, including landing pages, link-in-bio pages, QR codes, uploaded files, images, forms, workspaces, and message content.

1.1 Destination Content. A shortened link or QR code acts only as a pointer to another resource. Where allegedly infringing material is hosted by a third party, the appropriate remedy is generally against that hosting provider. However, where a ZipZy® link or QR code is used primarily to distribute infringing content, we may disable access upon receipt of a valid notice.

1.2 Trademark Complaints. Complaints relating to trademarks, brand names, logos, or confusingly similar custom domains are handled under the Trademark Policy.

1.3 Other Legal Complaints. Complaints relating to defamation, privacy violations, impersonation, illegal content, or other legal issues should be submitted to abuse@zipzy.in.

2.1 Consider Fair Dealing or Fair Use. Copyright law contains exceptions including fair dealing, fair use, criticism, review, quotation, research, education, and news reporting. Consider whether an exception applies before submitting a complaint.

2.2 Confirm Ownership. Submit a notice only if you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

2.3 Contact the User. Where practical, contacting the account holder directly may resolve the issue more quickly without requiring platform intervention.

2.4 False Claims. Knowingly submitting false, misleading, or bad-faith copyright complaints may result in legal liability, including damages, legal costs, or other remedies available under applicable law.

Send a written copyright notice to copyright@zipzy.in. To enable us to investigate and take action, your notice must include all of the following information:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. Where multiple works are involved, a representative list may be provided.
2. Identification of the allegedly infringing material including the complete ZipZy® URL, landing page, QR code, custom domain, or uploaded file so we can locate it.
3. Evidence of ownership such as a copyright registration number, publication details, licence, or URL of the authorised original work.
4. Your contact information including your full legal name, organisation (if any), postal address, telephone number, and email address.
5. Good-faith statement confirming that you believe the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
6. Accuracy statement made under penalty of perjury, confirming that the information provided is accurate and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
7. Physical or electronic signature.

3.1 Authorised Representatives. If you act on behalf of the copyright owner, identify the rights holder and provide evidence of your authority when requested.

3.2 Bulk Complaints. Rights holders submitting large numbers of notices may request a structured submission format from copyright@zipzy.in. Every allegedly infringing item must still be individually identified.

3.3 Incomplete Notices. We may reject or return notices that omit required information. No action will be taken until a complete and valid notice is received.

4.1 Acknowledgement. We acknowledge receipt of a valid copyright complaint within 24 hours.

4.2 Review. We review each notice for completeness, obvious defects, and plausibility. We do not determine legal ownership or adjudicate copyright disputes; our review is limited to verifying whether the notice satisfies the requirements of this Policy.

4.3 Action. Where a notice is valid, we generally act within 36 hours of receipt. Depending on the circumstances, action may include disabling access to a landing page, uploaded file, QR code, shortened link, or other identified resource. In serious cases involving repeated or widespread infringement, we may restrict or suspend the associated Account.

4.4 Proportionality. Our objective is to remove only the specific allegedly infringing material. We do not ordinarily remove unrelated content or terminate an entire Account unless infringement is widespread or systemic.

4.5 Record Keeping. We maintain records of copyright complaints, investigations, actions taken, and corresponding dates for three (3) years.

4.6 Confirmation. Once action has been completed, we notify the complainant of the outcome.

Where material is disabled or removed following a valid copyright complaint, we promptly notify the affected account holder.

• a copy of the copyright complaint, including the complainant's contact details where necessary to permit a counter-notice;
• identification of the affected material or resource;
• the action taken by ZipZy®;
• instructions explaining the counter-notice procedure;
• information about our repeat infringement policy and possible consequences of future violations.

If you believe your material was removed because of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to copyright@zipzy.in. A valid counter-notice must contain:

1. Identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal.
2. A statement under penalty of perjury confirming your good-faith belief that the material was removed because of mistake or misidentification.
3. The basis for your claim such as ownership, licence, permission, or another legal defence including fair dealing or fair use.
4. Your contact information including your legal name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
5. Jurisdiction statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the courts at Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India and, where applicable, the jurisdiction of the complainant's courts for legal proceedings relating to the dispute.
6. Physical or electronic signature.

6.1 Forwarding. We forward valid counter-notices to the original complainant, including the contact information provided in the counter-notice.

6.2 Disclosure. Filing a counter-notice requires disclosure of your contact details to the complainant. If you do not wish your identity to be shared, you should not submit a counter-notice.

7.1 Legal Proceedings. Unless the complainant notifies us within 10 business days that legal proceedings have been initiated seeking to prevent restoration, we may restore the removed material.

7.2 Timing. Restoration generally occurs between 10 and 14 business days after receipt of a valid counter-notice.

7.3 Independent Violations. We may decline to restore material that independently violates the Acceptable Use Policy, another legal policy, or where restoration is prohibited by a court order or government direction.

7.4 Strike Removal. Where material is restored following a successful counter-notice, any copyright strike associated solely with that complaint will be removed from the Account record.

8.1 Copyright Strikes. Each valid and uncontested copyright complaint results in one strike against the associated Account. Strikes are removed if the complaint is withdrawn, the material is restored following a counter-notice, or automatically after 12 months.

8.2 Serious Infringement. We may permanently terminate an Account immediately without progressing through the strike system where infringement is deliberate, commercial in scale, or where an Account exists primarily to distribute pirated software, media, books, courses, or other infringing content.

8.3 Ban Evasion. Creating or using another Account after termination for repeat copyright infringement constitutes ban evasion and may result in immediate termination of all associated Accounts.

The copyright notice-and-takedown process exists to protect legitimate intellectual property rights. It must not be used to suppress lawful content, silence criticism, interfere with competitors, or submit knowingly false claims.

9.1 False Notices. Knowingly and materially misrepresenting that material infringes copyright, or knowingly submitting a false counter-notice, may result in liability for damages, costs, legal fees, or other remedies available under applicable law.

9.2 Repeated Abuse. We may reject, limit, or require additional verification for notices submitted by individuals or organisations demonstrating a pattern of abusive, automated, frivolous, or bad-faith copyright complaints.

Where required by applicable law, court order, or binding direction issued by a competent government authority, we may disable or remove content independently of the copyright notice-and-counter-notice process.

10.1 Compliance. We generally comply with valid legal directions within 36 hours where required under applicable intermediary obligations.

10.2 No Counter-Notice. Content removed pursuant to a court order or binding government direction is not ordinarily eligible for restoration through the counter-notice procedure described in this Policy.

10.3 Further Information. Our procedures for handling legal requests are described in the Law Enforcement Request Policy.

Copyright complaints and counter-notices necessarily involve the exchange of identifying information between the complainant and the affected user so that both parties may protect and enforce their legal rights.

11.1 Information Sharing. We share notices, counter-notices, and associated contact information with the opposing party where necessary to administer this process or where required by law.

11.2 Publication. We do not publicly publish copyright complaints or counter-notices. We may, however, publish anonymous or aggregated statistics relating to copyright enforcement.

11.3 Personal Data. Personal data collected through this process is handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

12.1 Intermediary Status. We operate as an intermediary platform and do not proactively monitor or pre-screen all user content for copyright infringement.

12.2 No Legal Determination. Removing or disabling material does not constitute a legal finding that infringement occurred, nor does restoration determine that the material is lawful.

12.3 No Legal Advice. We do not provide legal advice regarding copyright ownership, licensing, fair dealing, fair use, or other intellectual property matters. Parties should obtain independent legal advice where appropriate.

12.4 Third-Party Hosting. We cannot remove material hosted entirely on third-party services outside the ZipZy® platform. Requests relating to such content should also be directed to the hosting provider.

12.5 Preservation of Rights. Nothing in this Policy limits any rights or remedies available under applicable copyright law.

We may revise this Copyright Policy from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, judicial decisions, regulatory guidance, platform functionality, or our copyright enforcement practices.

Material changes generally become effective 30 days after publication unless a shorter period is required by law.
