How to Submit
Send your takedown request by email to:
Hospiverse India — Content & Legal Requests
Email: legal@hospiverse.in
Subject line: Content Takedown Request — [Your Company Name]
We acknowledge all takedown requests within 2 business days of receipt.
Review Process
Upon receiving a complete takedown request, Hospiverse may take one or more of the following actions depending on the nature and merit of the request:
- Remove the content from the platform permanently.
- Temporarily disable or restrict visibility of the content while the request is under review.
- Request additional supporting information or documentation from the requestor.
- Contact the supplier or content submitter to notify them of the request and provide them an opportunity to respond.
- Correct or update inaccurate product information or attributions.
- Reject the request where it is unsupported, incomplete, or submitted in bad faith.
Hospiverse aims to complete its review of all complete takedown requests within 7 business days. Complex matters involving disputed rights may require additional time. Hospiverse makes all final determinations regarding content hosted on its platform.
Notification to Content Submitters
Where content is removed or restricted following a takedown request, Hospiverse will, where reasonably practicable, notify the supplier or party who submitted the relevant content. That party may submit a counter-notice under our Copyright & IP Policy if they believe the removal was made in error.
Good Faith Requirement
All takedown requests must be made honestly and in good faith. Submitting a takedown request that you know to be false, misleading, or intended to suppress legitimate competition or content is a misuse of this process and may constitute tortious interference or unlawful conduct under applicable Indian law.
Hospiverse reserves the right to:
- Reject requests that appear to be abusive, frivolous, or made in bad faith.
- Permanently decline future requests from parties who repeatedly submit unsupported claims.
- Report suspected fraudulent or bad-faith requests to relevant authorities.
- Pursue legal remedies including claims for damages and costs where appropriate.
