IPR Complaints & Copyright Policy

1. Respect for Intellectual Property

Squinal Private Limited ("Squinal") respects the intellectual property rights of creators, software engineers, businesses, and artists worldwide. We expect all clients, developers, and visitors using our websites, software platforms, and digital applications to adhere to the same standards.

We strictly prohibit the hosting, distribution, or unauthorized transmission of copyrighted software code, media, trademarks, or proprietary trade secrets on or through our platforms.

2. Procedure for Reporting Infringement (DMCA / IPR Notice)

If you are an intellectual property owner or an authorized agent thereof and believe that any content, software artifact, or digital material hosted on or distributed through Squinal services infringes upon your copyright, trademark, or proprietary rights, you may submit a formal Notice of Infringement to our Designated Grievance / IP Officer.

Upon receipt of a valid and complete notice meeting legal requirements, Squinal will investigate promptly and, where appropriate, disable access to or remove the allegedly infringing material within the timeframes mandated under applicable laws.

3. Required Information in a Formal Notice

To be effective under the Indian Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules, 2021 and Section 512(c) of the US DMCA, your written notification must include:
