Copyright Policy

OrbitSub, a sole proprietorship owned and operated by Karan in New Delhi, India, and registered as a micro enterprise under the Udyam (MSME) scheme of the Government of India ("OrbitSub", "we" or "us") respects intellectual property rights and expects users of the Service to do the same. This Copyright Policy explains how to report Content that you believe infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, and how users can respond. It forms part of our Terms of Service.

1. Your responsibilities as a user

Only post Content that you created or have the right to use. Research depends on building on the work of others, and quoting, summarising and citing sources for research, criticism and review is often permitted as fair dealing under section 52 of the Copyright Act, 1957, and under similar exceptions in other countries. When you rely on the work of others, cite it properly and use no more than you need.

2. Reporting infringement

If you believe Content on the Service infringes your copyright, email team@orbitsub.com with the subject line "Copyright notice", including:

1. your name, address, telephone number and email address;
2. a description of the work you claim is infringed, and evidence that you own it or are authorised to act for the owner;
3. the web address (URL) or other precise location of each item of Content you claim infringes it;
4. a description of why the Content infringes, and a statement that it is not a permitted use, such as fair dealing;
5. if the work is registered, its registration details;
6. a statement that, to the best of your knowledge, the information in your notice is accurate and you are the owner of the right or authorised to act on the owner's behalf;
7. your physical or electronic signature.

We may share your notice, including your name, with the user whose Content you report, so that they can respond.

3. What we do

3.1 When we receive a complete notice, we will remove or disable access to the reported Content within 36 hours, as required by Rule 75 of the Copyright Rules, 2013 and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, unless the notice is manifestly unfounded.

3.2 We will notify the user who posted the Content and give them an opportunity to respond.

3.3 Under Rule 75 of the Copyright Rules, 2013, where access has been disabled on a notice, the complainant is expected to obtain an order from a competent court within 21 days. If we do not receive such an order within that period, we may restore access to the Content.

4. Responding to a notice

If your Content was removed and you believe it was a mistake, for example because you own the rights, have a licence, or your use is fair dealing, email team@orbitsub.com with the subject line "Counter-notice", including your name and contact details, the Content removed and its location, and a statement explaining why you believe the removal was a mistake. We will consider your response, may share it with the complainant, and may restore the Content unless the complainant obtains a court order.

5. Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the Accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the intellectual property rights of others.

6. Trademarks and other rights

If you believe Content infringes your trademark or another intellectual property right, email team@orbitsub.com with the details above, adapted to that right.

7. False notices

Submitting a notice or counter-notice that you know to be false may make you liable for damages and costs under applicable law. If you are unsure whether Content infringes your rights, please seek legal advice before submitting a notice.

8. Rights holders outside India

We accept notices from rights holders anywhere in the world under this Policy.

This Policy is effective from 1 October 2026.
