Copyright and Trademark Policy
Effective date: 20 August 2026 · Version: 2026.08.20
Hospiverse respects copyright, trademark and other intellectual-property rights. This Policy forms part of the Terms of Use and Grievance Policy.
1. Platform Intellectual Property
Hospiverse's original software, interface, compilation, taxonomy, text, graphics and brand identifiers are owned by or licensed to HOSPIVERSE INNOVATIONS (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED. No right is granted except the limited right to use the Platform under the Terms.
2. Third-Party Rights
Product names, trademarks, logos, catalogues, photographs and other third-party materials remain the property of their owners. Display for identification does not imply endorsement, partnership, authorised dealership or commercial relationship.
3. User Responsibility
A user submitting content must own it or hold sufficient written authority to use and license it. Content may not be copied merely because it appears on a public website, catalogue, social account, marketplace, brochure or search engine.
Suppliers and Brands should retain licences, photographer permissions, distributor/brand authorisations and source records.
4. Limited Platform Licence
The user licence granted to Hospiverse is described in the Terms of Use. It permits operation and authorised promotion of the listing/profile; it does not transfer ownership.
5. Rights Complaint
Send a notice to jigar.chanana@hospiverse.in containing:
- claimant/right owner's name and contact details;
- description of the protected work/mark/right and, where available, registration details;
- each exact Hospiverse URL or content location;
- explanation of why the use is unauthorised;
- evidence of ownership and authority to act;
- requested action;
- a good-faith statement that the information is accurate; and
- physical or electronic signature/name of the authorised complainant.
Do not submit a blanket notice without identifying specific content.
6. Action on Notice
We will acknowledge and handle the notice under the Grievance Policy and applicable statutory timelines. We may temporarily restrict content, request clarification, notify the uploader, seek a response, remove/disable content, restore it, withdraw a badge or terminate repeat infringers.
7. Counter-Notice
The uploader may identify the removed content and provide evidence of ownership, licence, exhaustion, nominative/fair use or another lawful basis. The response must include accurate contact information and a good-faith request for restoration. We may provide the response to the complainant and may keep content disabled pending agreement or an appropriate legal direction.
No foreign-law "penalty of perjury" formula is required by this Policy. False statements may nevertheless have consequences under applicable Indian law and the Terms.
8. Repeat Infringement
Hospiverse may maintain records of repeat rights violations, reject future uploads and suspend/terminate accounts that repeatedly offer content/products previously removed for copyright, trademark or IT-law violations.
10. No Legal Advice
Hospiverse cannot decide every complex ownership or fair-use dispute. Parties should obtain legal advice and may seek an appropriate court/authority order. Voluntary restriction pending resolution is not an admission of infringement.
