Copyright Infringement Policy

Last updated: 14 July 2026 · Version 2

Spacelinkers Infotech Private Limited responds to copyright complaints under the Copyright Act, 1957 and the IT Act, 2000 / IT Rules, 2021, and honours DMCA-style notices from foreign rights holders. This is our notice-and-takedown procedure.

1. Filing a notice

Email info@spacelinkers.com, subject "Copyright Notice", including:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work (description, registration if any, or a link/copy).
2. The exact StayLocal URL(s) or listing code(s) (STL-…) of the allegedly infringing material.
3. Your full name, address, phone number and email; if acting as an agent, evidence of authority.
4. A good-faith statement that the use is not authorised by the rights owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Incomplete notices may be returned for completion; knowingly false notices may attract liability, and we may terminate the accounts of abusive complainants.

2. What we do

• Acknowledge within 24 hours.
• Where the notice is valid on its face, remove or disable access to the identified material within 36 hours of receipt (per IT Rules timelines), notify the uploader with a copy of the notice (personal contact details redacted where appropriate), and record the action in our tamper-evident audit log.
• Where the material is a listing photo affecting a live listing, the listing may be suspended pending replacement imagery.

3. Counter-notice

An uploader who believes the removal was mistaken or the material lawful may reply with: identification of the removed material and its prior location; a statement under penalty of perjury of good-faith belief that removal was erroneous; name, address, phone; consent to jurisdiction of competent Indian courts; signature. Where the law permits, we may restore the material if the complainant does not initiate legal proceedings within a reasonable period.

4. Repeat infringers

Accounts with repeated valid takedowns are terminated.

5. Trademark and other IP

The same channel handles trademark and other IP complaints — mark the subject accordingly and include registration particulars. See also the Intellectual Property Policy.
