Thank you for visiting Archana Academy. We put a lot of effort into creating original study material and educational content. Please read this notice carefully to understand how our content may and may not be used, and how it differs from any third-party names or material we refer to.

1. Copyright — Our Original Content

All original content included on the Site (archanaacademy.com) — such as text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, articles, notes, solved papers, assignments, and PDFs that we have written or prepared, digital downloads, data compilations, and the Site’s own software — is the property of Archana Academy or its content suppliers and is protected by the Copyright Act, 1957 (India) and international copyright laws.

6. Copyright Infringement Notice-and-Takedown Procedure

Archana Academy is based in India and its rights in its original content are primarily governed by the Copyright Act, 1957. As a matter of good practice for handling online infringement reports, we also follow a notice-and-takedown procedure modeled on the approach used under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). Reports and counter-notices should be sent to our Designated Agent, whose contact details are in Section 7.

It is Archana Academy’s policy to:

1. Block access to or remove content that it believes in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of its advertisers, affiliates, content providers, members, or users; and
2. Remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders.

Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that content residing on or accessible through the Archana Academy Service infringes a copyright, please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following information to the Designated Agent (Section 7):

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the work or materials being infringed.
3. Identification of the content that is claimed to be infringing, including information regarding its location on the Site, with sufficient detail so that Archana Academy is able to find and verify its existence.
4. Contact information of the notifier, including address, telephone number, and, if available, e-mail address.
5. A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the use of the content is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information provided is accurate and that the notifying party is authorized to make the complaint on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please note that knowingly making a false or misleading claim of infringement may expose the notifier to legal liability.

Once a Proper Infringement Notification Is Received

It is Archana Academy’s policy to:

1. Remove or disable access to the infringing content.
2. Notify the content provider, member, or user that it has removed or disabled access to the content.
3. Remove the infringing content from the system in the case of repeat offenders.
4. Terminate such content provider’s, member’s, or user’s access to the service.

Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice

If the content provider, member, or user believes that the content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that they have the right to post and use such content from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, they must send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent (Section 7):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the content provider, member, or user.
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.
3. A statement that the content provider, member, or user has a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or a misidentification of the content.
4. The content provider’s, member’s, or user’s name, address, telephone number, and, if available, e-mail address, together with a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the courts having jurisdiction over Archana Academy’s place of business in India, and will accept service of process from the person who provided the notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, Archana Academy may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party, informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Archana Academy’s discretion.
