What to Include in the Copyright / Dispute Section

Whether you put it inside your Terms of Service or on a separate page, the clause must clearly explain how to report an infringement and how to dispute a false claim.

Here is the exact layout and content you should use for Jhooma:

1. How Rights Holders Can File a Takedown Notice

Copyright Infringement Notice (Takedown Request)
Jhooma respects the intellectual property rights of creators and rights holders. If you believe that any audio, text, or visual content hosted on Jhooma infringes upon your copyright under applicable law (including the Nepal Copyright Act, 2059), please send a formal written notice to our Designated Copyright Agent at copyright@jhooma.com or support@jhooma.com.
Your notice must include the following details:
  1. Your full legal name, contact information, and physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
  3. The exact URL or track title on Jhooma where the alleged infringing material is located.
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

2. How to Dispute a False Claim (Counter-Notice)

Disputing a Claim (Counter-Notification)
If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a Counter-Notification to copyright@jhooma.com.
Your counter-notice must contain:
  1. Your name, email address, phone number, and physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the track or material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Consent to the jurisdiction of the courts located in Kathmandu, Nepal for any legal proceedings related to the dispute.

3. Platform Rights & Repeat Infringers

Platform Action & Repeat Infringers
Upon receiving a valid infringement notice, Jhooma reserves the right to temporarily disable access to or permanently remove the disputed content without prior notice. Jhooma maintains a strict policy to terminate accounts or access rights of repeat infringers where appropriate.

Recommended Site Placement

To ensure you are fully protected legally and compliant with app store policies (like Google Play Store guidelines):

  1. Website Footer: Add a link titled "Report Copyright Infringement" or "Copyright Policy" next to your Privacy Policy and Terms of Service links.
  2. Android App Settings: Add a "Report an Issue / Copyright" option inside the app’s Settings > About / Legal menu.
  3. Email Address: Create a dedicated email alias like copyright@jhooma.com or redirect it directly to your main support inbox so you never miss a notice.
