1. Introduction
This Copyright Takedown Policy sets out the notice-and-takedown procedure for anyone who believes a Listing on eBodhya Marketplace infringes their copyright or other Intellectual Property Rights, the counter-notice process available to a Seller, and Anomaa Studio's due-diligence obligations and safe-harbor posture as an intermediary. It gives operational effect to the Copyright Policy.
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 and Copyright Policy Section 2, together with:
- "Complainant" — a person who submits a takedown notice under this Policy.
- "Counter-Notice" — a Seller's written response disputing a takedown notice, submitted under Section 8.
- "Repeat Infringer" — a Seller who is the subject of two (2) or more valid, unrebutted takedown notices within any twelve (12)-month period.
3. Applicability
This Policy applies to any Listing on the Marketplace and to any person who believes a Listing infringes their Intellectual Property 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. Anomaa Studio's Intermediary Posture
Anomaa Studio acts as an intermediary under Section 2(1)(w) of the Information Technology Act, 2000, in relation to Listing Content authored by independent Sellers. We claim the safe-harbor protection available to intermediaries under Section 79 of the IT Act, provided we observe the due diligence required by Rule 3 of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, including acting on actual knowledge of unlawful content (such as a valid notice under this Policy) by removing or disabling access to it within the timelines below.
6. Notice Requirements
To submit a takedown notice, send the following to legal@ebodhya.in:
- Your full name, and, if acting on behalf of a rights holder, your relationship to that rights holder.
- Identification of the copyrighted work or other right you claim is infringed, and (if applicable) a copy or description of the original work.
- The specific Listing URL(s) or identifier(s) you allege are infringing, with enough detail for us to locate them.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or Applicable Law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury or an equivalent declaration under Indian law, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on the rights holder's behalf.
- Your contact details and signature (physical or electronic).
An incomplete notice may delay action while we request the missing information.
7. Our Response Timeline
- We will acknowledge receipt of a complete notice within twenty-four (24) hours.
- Where the notice relates to content that appears to fall within Rule 3(1)(d) of the IT Rules, 2021 (unlawful content notified by a court or appropriate government agency), we will act within thirty-six (36) hours of notification, as required by that Rule.
- For other valid copyright notices, we will remove or disable access to the challenged Listing within a reasonable time, generally within two (2) business days of validating the notice, and will notify the Seller of the takedown and the reason for it.
- If a notice is incomplete or does not meet the requirements in Section 6, we will notify the Complainant and hold action pending clarification, except where the content is otherwise clearly unlawful.
8. Counter-Notice
A Seller whose Listing is taken down under this Policy may submit a Counter-Notice to legal@ebodhya.in within fifteen (15) days, including: identification of the removed Listing; a statement, under penalty of perjury or an equivalent declaration, that the Seller has a good-faith belief the Listing was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and the Seller's consent to the jurisdiction described in Section 21 of the Copyright Policy-linked Terms. On receipt of a valid Counter-Notice, we will forward it to the Complainant. If the Complainant does not, within ten (10) business days, notify us that they have sought a court order restraining the Seller from the allegedly infringing activity, we may reinstate the Listing.
9. Repeat Infringer Suspension
A Seller who becomes a Repeat Infringer will have their Seller Account suspended, and may have it permanently terminated, in accordance with the enforcement ladder in the Acceptable Use Policy. A Counter-Notice that is upheld (Listing reinstated, no court action) does not count toward Repeat Infringer status; a Counter-Notice that is not filed, or is rejected, leaves the original notice as valid for this purpose.
10. AI
Automated listing-content moderation described in the AI Usage Policy may proactively flag or remove content resembling known infringing material; this operates alongside, and does not replace, the formal notice process above. A Seller may request human review of an automated moderation takedown under Section 7 of the AI Usage Policy, in addition to the Counter-Notice process here.
11. Data Processing
Personal Data in a notice or Counter-Notice (name, contact details, statements made) is Processed under the Privacy Policy and shared with the opposing party only as necessary to run this process.
12. Cookies
Not separately applicable; see the Cookie Policy.
13. Third-Party Services
Not separately applicable beyond the sub-processors identified in the Privacy Policy.
14. Security
Notices and Counter-Notices are handled over secure channels as described in the Security Statement.
15. Retention
Notices, Counter-Notices, and related correspondence are retained as described in the Data Retention Policy, for as long as needed to demonstrate our intermediary due diligence and to track Repeat Infringer status.
16. Deletion
Takedown records may be retained after a Seller's Account deletion where necessary to prevent re-registration by a Repeat Infringer, consistent with the Data Deletion Policy.
17. Intellectual Property
This Policy operates within the ownership framework set out in the Intellectual Property Policy and Copyright Policy.
18. User Responsibilities
Complainants must submit accurate, good-faith notices; misuse of this process to harass a legitimate Seller may itself be actionable. Sellers must respond promptly to a takedown notification and may not re-list materially the same removed Content without resolving the underlying complaint.
19. Prohibited Activities
Submitting a knowingly false takedown notice or Counter-Notice, or using this process to suppress lawful competition rather than address genuine infringement, is prohibited and may result in account action against the submitting party under the Acceptable Use Policy.
20. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, and consistent with our safe-harbor posture under Section 79 of the IT Act described in Section 5, Anomaa Studio is not liable for a Complainant's or Seller's misuse of this process, or for infringing Content we remove or fail to remove in good-faith compliance with this Policy.
21. Disclaimer
We assess notices and Counter-Notices on their face and do not adjudicate the underlying legal merits of a copyright dispute; a decision to remove or reinstate a Listing under this Policy is not a determination of infringement and does not affect either party's right to pursue the matter in court or arbitration.
22. Termination
A Seller's Account may be suspended or terminated for Repeat Infringer status or for a serious, uncontested infringement, as described in Section 9 and the Acceptable Use Policy enforcement ladder.
23. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Changes
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
This Copyright / Infringement / Takedown 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 / Infringement / Takedown Policy
We may update this Copyright / Infringement / Takedown 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 / Infringement / Takedown 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.
