1. Governing framework
Encoreats respects intellectual-property rights. Complaints are reviewed primarily under the Copyright Act, 1957, applicable Indian law, court or authority orders, and the Information Technology framework. A notice described as “DMCA” may be accepted as a convenient format, but United States law does not automatically govern an India-based dispute.
2. Required notice
A complaint should identify the claimant and authority to act; describe the copyrighted work; provide the exact Encoreats URL, event, profile or content identifier; explain the alleged infringement; include good-faith and accuracy statements; provide contact details; and include a physical or electronic signature. Attach evidence of ownership or licence where available.
3. Review and action
We may request clarification, preserve records, notify the uploader, restrict visibility, remove or disable access, or decline an incomplete or abusive notice. Action timing depends on legal urgency, completeness, risk and applicable intermediary obligations.
4. Counter-notice
An affected uploader may identify the removed content, explain the lawful basis such as ownership, licence or statutory exception, provide contact details and evidence, and consent to appropriate dispute procedures. Encoreats may restore content where lawful and no binding restraint applies.
5. Repeat infringement and abuse
Repeated infringement may lead to account restriction. Knowingly false notices, forged ownership evidence or misuse of the process may lead to rejection, suspension and legal consequences.
6. Performer, publicity and music rights
Copyright clearance does not by itself clear performers’ rights, moral rights, publicity, privacy, trademark, venue, music-society or recording rights. Claimants should identify each right relied upon.
