This Digital Millennium Copyright Act policy (“Policy”) applies to the us.kalpanikfilms.com
website (“Website” or “Service”) and any of its related products and services (collectively,
“Services”) and outlines how Kalpanik Films LLP (“Kalpanik Films LLP”, “we”, “us” or “our”)
addresses copyright infringement notifications and how you (“you” or “your”) may submit a
copyright infringement complaint.
Protection of intellectual property is of utmost importance to us and we ask our users and
their authorized agents to do the same. It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear
notifications of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998, the text of which can be found at the U.S.
Copyright Office website. This DMCA policy was created with the help of WebsitePolicies.
What to consider before submitting a copyright complaint
Before submitting a copyright complaint to us, consider whether the use could be considered
fair use. Fair use states that brief excerpts of copyrighted material may, under certain
circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching,
and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder. If you
have considered fair use, and you still wish to continue with a copyright complaint, you may
want to first reach out to the user in question to see if you can resolve the matter directly with
the user.
Please note that if you are unsure whether the material you are reporting is in fact infringing,
you may wish to contact an attorney before filing a notification with us.
The DMCA requires you to provide your personal information in the copyright infringement
notification. If you are concerned about the privacy of your personal information, you may
wish to hire an agent to report infringing material for you.
Notifications of infringement
If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and you believe that any material available
on our Services infringes your copyrights, then you may submit a written copyright
infringement notification (“Notification”) using the contact details below pursuant to the
DMCA. All such Notifications must comply with the DMCA requirements.
Filing a DMCA complaint is the start of a pre-defined legal process. Your complaint will be
reviewed for accuracy, validity, and completeness. If your complaint has satisfied these
requirements, our response may include the removal or restriction of access to allegedly
infringing material.
If we remove or restrict access to materials or terminate an account in response to a
Notification of alleged infringement, we will make a good faith effort to contact the affected
user with information concerning the removal or restriction of access, along with instructions
for filing a counter-notification.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any portion of this Policy, Kalpanik
Films LLP reserves the right to take no action upon receipt of a DMCA copyright infringement
notification if it fails to comply with all the requirements of the DMCA for such notifications.
Counter-notifications
A user who receives a copyright infringement Notification may make a counter-Notification
pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the US Copyright Act. If you receive a copyright
infringement Notification, it means that the material described in the Notification has been
removed from our Services or access to the material has been restricted. Please take the
time to read through the Notification, which includes information on the Notification we
received. To file a counter-notification with us, you must provide a written communication
compliant with the DMCA requirements.
Please note that if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of
others or that the material or activity was removed or restricted by mistake or
misidentification, you may wish to contact an attorney before filing a counter-notification.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any portion of this Policy, Kalpanik
Films LLP reserves the right to take no action upon receipt of a counter-notification. If we
receive a counter-notification that complies with the terms of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), we may
forward it to the person who filed the original Notification.
The process described in this Policy does not limit our ability to pursue any other remedies
we may have to address suspected infringement.
Changes and amendments
We reserve the right to modify this Policy or its terms related to the Website and Services at
any time at our discretion. When we do, we will revise the updated date at the bottom of this
page. We may also provide notice to you in other ways at our discretion, such as through the
contact information you have provided.
An updated version of this Policy will be effective immediately upon the posting of the
revised Policy unless otherwise specified. Your continued use of the Website and Services
after the effective date of the revised Policy (or such other act specified at that time) will
constitute your consent to those changes.
