DMCA Policy

At Jorhat College News, we respect copyright laws and take them seriously. This policy explains how we handle copyright complaints and how users can report content that they believe is infringing their rights. We are committed to providing a safe space for content creators and users while following the rules set by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

What is the DMCA?

The DMCA is a U.S. law that helps protect copyrighted works online. It provides a process for copyright owners to report content they believe is being used without permission. The law also offers protections for websites like ours that follow proper procedures when handling copyright complaints.

How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you think someone is using your copyrighted work on our website without permission, you can send us a DMCA takedown notice. Your notice should include:

  1. Identification of your work: A description of the copyrighted work you believe is being used without permission.
  2. Location of the infringing content: The exact URL(s) where the infringing content is found.
  3. Your contact information: Your full name, address, phone number, and email address.
  4. Statement of belief: A statement saying that you believe, in good faith, that the content is infringing your copyright.
  5. Statement of authority: A statement confirming that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
  6. Your signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

Once we receive a valid notice, we will review it and take action, which may include removing or blocking access to the reported content.

How to Submit a Counter-Notice

If you are the person who uploaded the content and believe it was removed by mistake, you can file a counter-notice. A valid counter-notice should include:

  1. Identification of removed content: The URL(s) where the content was located before it was removed.
  2. Your contact information: Your full name, address, phone number, and email address.
  3. Statement of belief: A statement saying you believe the content was removed by mistake or misidentification.
  4. Consent to jurisdiction: A statement agreeing to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts.
  5. Your signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the content unless the original complainant takes legal action within 10-14 business days.

Repeat Infringement Policy

If a user repeatedly posts infringing content, we may suspend or terminate their account. We take multiple valid DMCA notices seriously and may take action to prevent further violations.

Limitation of Liability

We are not responsible for the content uploaded by users. However, once we are notified about potential copyright infringement, we will take quick action to remove or disable access to the content in question.
