Introduction

GadgetsFree24 (https://gadgetsfree24.com, "the Website") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), we will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed using our Website or accessible through our services.

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that your copyrighted work has been reproduced on our Website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please follow the procedures outlined below to file a notification.

Reporting Copyright Infringement

For your complaint to be valid under the DMCA, you must provide the following information in writing:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work: Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, provide a representative list of such works at that site.
2. Identification of the infringing material: Identify the material that you claim is infringing and that you want removed or access to which you want disabled, and provide sufficient information to allow us to locate the material. Please provide the complete URL(s) of the page(s) containing the alleged infringing content.
3. Your contact information: Provide your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address so that we may contact you regarding your complaint.
4. A statement of good faith: Include the following statement: "I have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted materials described above is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use)."
5. A statement of accuracy: Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate, and I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."
6. Your signature: Provide your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name is acceptable as an electronic signature).

Where to Send DMCA Notices

Please send your DMCA takedown notice to our designated copyright agent:

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages. Do not make false claims. If you are not sure whether certain material infringes your copyrights, we suggest consulting an attorney before filing a notification.

Response Process

Upon receiving a valid and complete DMCA takedown notice, we will take the following steps:

1. Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge receipt of the complaint within 24-48 business hours.
2. Review: We will review the complaint for completeness and validity to ensure it meets the requirements of the DMCA.
3. Action: If the notice is valid, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material promptly, typically within 2-5 business days of validation.
4. Notification: We will notify the content provider, member, or user who posted the material that we have removed or disabled access to the content, along with a copy of the takedown notice.
5. Documentation: We will maintain records of all DMCA notices and actions taken in response.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled in error or due to misidentification, you may file a counter-notification. A valid counter-notification must contain the following information:

1. Your physical or electronic signature
2. Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled (include the URL)
3. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled
4. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in India and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person

Counter-notifications should be sent to dmca@gadgetsfree24.com with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notification".

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party. If the original party does not file a court action within 10-14 business days, we may restore the removed content.

Repeat Infringers

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, GadgetsFree24 has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users or contributors who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Website or terminate accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Fair Use Notice

GadgetsFree24 may use copyrighted material that has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner. As a gadget review and technology news publication, we make such material available for purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, and research. We believe this constitutes "fair use" of any such copyrighted material as provided for in Section 107 of the United States Copyright Act and similar provisions under Indian copyright law.

Our fair use of copyrighted material includes:

• Product images used in the context of reviews and critical analysis
• Screenshots from software, apps, and operating systems for illustrative purposes
• Brief quotations from press releases, product descriptions, and official communications
• Brand logos and trademarks used for product identification purposes

If you wish to use copyrighted material from this Website for purposes of your own that go beyond fair use, you must obtain permission from the respective copyright owner.
