Copyright & IP Takedown

Lentlo respects the intellectual property rights of others. We act on valid notices of copyright, trademark, or other IP infringement under the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, the Trade Marks Act, 1999, and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules, 2021.

If you believe that a website hosted on LentloSites contains your copyrighted material, trademark, or other protected content used without your permission, you may file a takedown notice with us. Examples:

• Your photos, videos, or written content copied without permission
• Your logo, trademark, or brand name used to impersonate your business
• Your software code, designs, or other original works reproduced
• Your products listed for sale by an unauthorized reseller

To file a valid takedown notice, send an email to support@lentlosites.com with the following (all are required):

• Your identity: Full name, contact details, and your relationship to the IP (owner, authorized agent, legal representative)
• Identification of the work: Clear description of the original work you own, with a link to the authoritative source or proof of ownership
• The infringing URL: Complete URL(s) on LentloSites where the infringing content appears
• Good-faith statement: A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by you, your agent, or the law
• Accuracy declaration: A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act
• Signature: Your physical or electronic signature

We commit to act on valid takedown notices within the following timelines:

• Acknowledgment: Within 24 hours
• Initial review: Within 72 hours — we verify the notice meets the required format
• Action: Within 15 days, unless a counter-notice is received
• Urgent matters: Clear impersonation / phishing / brand fraud is actioned within 24 hours

Upon receiving a valid takedown notice, we may:

• Remove the specific infringing content
• Notify the site owner with the takedown notice details
• Unpublish the website pending resolution
• Suspend or terminate accounts of repeat infringers

If content on your website has been removed or disabled due to a takedown notice, and you believe this was an error or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice. Send to support@lentlosites.com:

• Your name, address, phone, and email
• Identification of the material that was removed (URL before takedown)
• Statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was mistaken
• Consent to the jurisdiction of Indian courts
• Your signature

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If they do not initiate legal proceedings within a reasonable period (typically 10-21 days depending on the circumstances) to obtain a court order restraining the account holder, we may restore the removed content. We are not parties to any dispute between the complainant and the account holder, and any such dispute must be resolved between the parties or by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Filing a fraudulent takedown notice is a serious matter. Under Indian law, you may be liable for damages (including legal costs) suffered by the account holder or by us due to a false claim. We reserve the right to pursue legal action against those who abuse this process.

The same process applies to trademark infringement. When reporting trademark misuse, please also include your trademark registration number and the jurisdiction where it is registered. If the infringer is using your mark in a way likely to cause confusion, state specifically how.

Some uses of copyrighted content are permitted under Indian Copyright Act Section 52 (fair dealing) — e.g. research, review, criticism, news reporting. When reviewing your notice, we consider whether the use may fall within these exceptions.

All copyright / IP takedown notices should be sent to: Email: support@lentlosites.com Subject line: COPYRIGHT TAKEDOWN — [your site/brand name] Include "URGENT" in the subject if the infringement involves impersonation, phishing, or active fraud.
