1. Introduction
This Copyright Policy explains the copyright warranties every Seller makes when listing a Digital Product on eBodhya Marketplace, and the limits of Anomaa Studio's own role and responsibility as an intermediary. It works together with the Copyright Takedown Policy, which sets out the notice-and-takedown procedure for a specific infringement complaint.
2. Definitions
This document uses the shared definitions in Anomaa Studio's canonical definitions list and the Marketplace-specific terms defined in the Privacy Policy Section 2, together with:
- "Infringing Listing" — a Listing whose Content, in whole or in part, infringes the copyright or other Intellectual Property Rights of a person other than the Seller who posted it.
3. Applicability
This Policy applies to every Seller who lists a Digital Product, and to every Buyer or third party who believes a Listing infringes their rights.
4. Legal Entity
eBodhya™ is a trademark owned and used by Anomaa Studio, a sole proprietorship business based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India ("Anomaa Studio," "eBodhya," "we," "us," or "our"). Anomaa Studio owns and operates the entire eBodhya suite of platforms, comprising:
- eBodhya Studio — studio.ebodhya.in
- eBodhya Marketplace — marketplace.ebodhya.in
- eBodhya Schools — schools.ebodhya.in
- eBodhya Workspace — workspace.ebodhya.in
(together, the "eBodhya Platforms").
Every account, subscription, order, listing, or agreement created or entered into through any eBodhya Platform is an agreement with Anomaa Studio directly. No eBodhya Platform is owned, operated by, or offered on behalf of any third party, franchisee, reseller, school district, or unrelated entity, unless we state so expressly and in writing. eBodhya™ and the eBodhya logo are trademarks of Anomaa Studio; no license to use them is granted except as expressly permitted in writing.
In this document, "the Platform" means eBodhya Marketplace (marketplace.ebodhya.in) specifically, and "eBodhya" or the "eBodhya Platforms" means the wider suite of products described above. Where this document imposes obligations on "Anomaa Studio," those obligations are undertaken by Anomaa Studio in its capacity as operator of the Platform.
5. Seller Warranty of Ownership or License
By listing a Digital Product, a Seller represents and warrants that: (a) the Seller owns all copyright and other Intellectual Property Rights in the Listing Content, or holds a valid license or permission sufficient to sell and distribute it through the Marketplace; (b) the Listing does not infringe the copyright, trademark, or other rights of any third party; and (c) the Seller has the right to grant Buyers the License described in the Licensing Policy for that Listing. This warranty is repeated and expanded in the Seller Agreement, Section on Seller Warranties and Indemnity.
6. Anomaa Studio's Role and Limits as Intermediary
Anomaa Studio does not pre-screen every Listing for copyright ownership before publication, beyond the automated and manual checks described in the AI Usage Policy and the intermediary due-diligence steps described in the Copyright Takedown Policy. We rely on the Seller's warranty in Section 5, and we act on valid infringement notices through the notice-and-takedown process in that Policy. Except for an Anomaa Studio-Published Product, Anomaa Studio is not the author, publisher, or copyright owner of Listing Content, and does not independently verify a Seller's chain of title before a Listing goes live.
7. AI
Automated listing-content moderation, described in the AI Usage Policy, may flag a newly submitted Listing for further review where it resembles known copyrighted material, but this screening supplements, and does not replace, the notice-and-takedown process for a specific complaint.
8. Data Processing
Information submitted in a copyright complaint or a Seller's counter-notice is Processed under the Privacy Policy and shared with the opposing party only as necessary to run the process in the Copyright Takedown Policy.
9. Cookies
Not separately applicable; see the Cookie Policy.
10. Third-Party Services
Not separately applicable beyond the sub-processors identified in the Privacy Policy.
11. Security
Not separately applicable; see the Security Statement.
12. Retention
Copyright complaints, notices, and counter-notices are retained as described in the Data Retention Policy, including for as long as needed to demonstrate our intermediary due diligence.
13. Deletion
Copyright enforcement records may be retained after Account deletion where necessary to track a repeat-infringer Seller, consistent with the Data Deletion Policy.
14. Intellectual Property
Full treatment of IP ownership across the Marketplace, including the limited license Sellers grant us to display Listings, is in the Intellectual Property Policy.
15. User Responsibilities
Sellers must ensure they have cleared rights (including for any third-party images, fonts, datasets, or excerpts embedded in a Digital Product) before listing it, and must respond promptly to a takedown notice or counter-notice concerning their Listing.
16. Prohibited Activities
Listing content a Seller does not own or have rights to sell is prohibited under Section 5 above and under the Acceptable Use Policy.
17. Repeat Infringers
A Seller who is the subject of repeated, valid infringement notices is subject to escalating enforcement, up to and including permanent suspension, as described in the Copyright Takedown Policy and the Acceptable Use Policy enforcement ladder.
18. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, and consistent with our safe-harbor posture as an intermediary under Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (described further in the Copyright Takedown Policy), Anomaa Studio is not liable for a Seller's infringement of a third party's Intellectual Property Rights, provided we act in accordance with our obligations under Rule 3 of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 upon receiving actual knowledge or a valid notice.
19. Disclaimer
We do not warrant that any Listing is free of third-party rights, and Buyers rely on a Seller's ownership warranty at their own risk beyond the remedies available under the Refund Policy.
20. Termination
A Seller's Account and Listings may be suspended or terminated for confirmed or repeated copyright infringement, as described in the Copyright Takedown Policy.
21. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Changes
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
This Copyright Policy and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to it, the Platform, or the Services (a "Dispute") is governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation for thirty (30) days after one party gives the other written notice of the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within that period, it will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in Bengaluru, Karnataka, under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, before a sole arbitrator appointed by Anomaa Studio. The arbitration will be conducted in English, and the seat and venue of arbitration will be Bengaluru, Karnataka. The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties.
Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief before a competent court at any time. Subject to the arbitration agreement above, the courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any Dispute not subject to arbitration and over any proceeding to enforce an arbitral award.
Jurisdiction
Without prejudice to the arbitration agreement above, the Platform is directed at Users in India, and Anomaa Studio makes no representation that the Platform or its Content is appropriate or lawfully available in other locations. Users who access the Platform from outside India do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law.
Changes to This Copyright Policy
We may update this Copyright Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Services, Applicable Law, or our practices. We will post the revised version on the Platform with an updated "Effective Date" and, for material changes, will provide reasonable advance notice through the Platform, by email, or by an in-product notice, as appropriate to the change and the audience of the Platform. Continued use of the Platform after the revised Copyright Policy takes effect constitutes acceptance of the changes. Where Applicable Law requires your express consent to a change (for example, a material change to how we Process Personal Data of a Child), we will seek that consent before the change takes effect.
