Commitment to Copyright Respect
We take copyright compliance seriously and work diligently to ensure that all materials hosted or displayed on this website respect the intellectual-property rights of others.
Our platform does not intentionally host or promote copyrighted content that violates any third-party rights.
Any use of copyrighted text, media, or materials on this website is meant solely for educational, informational, or review-oriented context under permissible exemptions such as fair dealing or fair use, where applicable.
Because content can sometimes originate from multiple contributors or sources, we rely on good-faith communication from copyright owners regarding any material that may unintentionally infringe their rights.
Once a valid DMCA notice is received, we take prompt action, which may include reviewing, modifying, restricting access to, or removing the allegedly infringing content.
We encourage rights holders to notify us as soon as possible if they believe their work has been used without authorization so that it can be resolved efficiently.
What Qualifies as Copyright Infringement
Copyright infringement generally involves the unauthorized use of protected materials such as written content, images, videos, audio files, graphics, datasets, or any original intellectual-property work created by an individual or entity.
To qualify for a DMCA-based request, the material in question must be genuinely protected by copyright and not fall under public-domain, open-source, licensed, or fair-use categories.
We ask rights holders to carefully evaluate the accuracy of their claims before filing a takedown request.
Submitting a false or misleading copyright claim may result in legal consequences under applicable laws.
How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Request
If you are the owner of copyrighted material, or an authorized agent acting on behalf of the rights holder, you may submit a DMCA takedown request using the procedure below.
A compliant notice must contain all required elements; otherwise, we may request additional clarification before taking action.
To submit a request, send an email to dmca@hiddentemples.in and include the following details:
-
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
Provide a clear description or representative list of the original work(s) you own. -
Identification of the allegedly infringing material located on this website.
Include the exact title or description of the page or content in question, along with its location or any necessary contextual identifiers. -
A statement declaring that you believe in good faith that the use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by you, your agent, or the law.
-
A statement confirming that all information submitted is accurate, and that under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright owner or legally authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
-
Your full legal name, along with your physical or digital signature.
-
Contact information, including your email address, phone number, or postal address, so that we can respond to your notice.
Incomplete notices may delay the processing time.
Properly formatted notices help ensure a smooth and timely resolution.
How We Process Valid DMCA Notices
Once a valid DMCA takedown notice is received, we review it promptly to confirm that it includes all required information.
If the notice is complete, we take reasonable steps to address the identified material.
Actions may include temporary disabling of the content, full removal, or further investigation.
We may notify the user or contributor who posted the content, informing them that a takedown request has been filed.
In some cases, the contributor may provide additional context that could help determine whether the content qualifies under fair use, licensed use, or non-infringing use.
However, our priority will always be to comply with legitimate DMCA requests submitted in good faith.
If appropriate, we may preserve records of notices and communications for documentation and compliance purposes.
Filing a Counter-Notification
If you believe that content removed or restricted due to a DMCA request was taken down in error, or if you have the legal right to use the material in question, you may submit a counter-notice.
This allows you to assert that the takedown was misapplied or that you possess authorization, a valid license, or a legal exemption that permits the use.
To file a counter-notification, email dmca@hiddentemples.in with:
-
Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, including the location prior to removal.
-
A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the material was removed or restricted as a result of mistake or misidentification.
-
Your full name, electronic or physical signature, and your contact information.
-
A statement that you agree to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts and that you will accept service of process from the complainant or their authorized agent.
Once a valid counter-notice is received, we may restore the content unless the original complainant files a legal action seeking to prevent restoration.
We follow established DMCA timelines and procedures in good faith, ensuring fairness for both parties.
Good Faith Compliance and Transparency
Our approach to DMCA compliance is rooted in transparency, fairness, and lawful handling of all notices.
We do not favor either party automatically; instead, we evaluate all submissions based on completeness, legitimacy, and compliance with DMCA guidelines.
Both copyright holders and content contributors are expected to act in good faith.
This means taking care not to submit false claims, incomplete notices, or misleading assertions.
We also commit to handling requests promptly while preserving the integrity and educational purpose of this website.
To maintain a safe and respectful environment, repeat infringers may have their access or ability to contribute content restricted or terminated as necessary.
