Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Takedown Policy ("Policy") can be found in our Platform Terms.

A. COPYRIGHT COMPLAINTS AND TAKEDOWN POLICY:

Copyright Complaints:

All complaints/ notices of alleged copyright infringements or violations received by Playto shall be processed, investigated, and appropriate actions will be taken in the following manner:

Please note that by claiming copyright infringement, you are initiating a legal process. Kindly be sure to consider whether fair use, fair dealing, or a similar exception to copyright applies before you report.

To be effective, the notification you send to us must be in writing and contain the following information:

  1. An electronic or physical signature of you or the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
  2. A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
  3. A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Platform, with enough detail that we may find it on the Platform (e.g., specific URL of the Creator's Page and the content in question);
  4. Your address, telephone number, and email address;
  5. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law;
  6. A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury (where applicable by law), that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.

Please note that we may send a copy of any infringement claim received to the User who posted the Content that was reported by you as infringing. If you submit a notice of infringement that knowingly materially misrepresents that any content, information, or communication on the Platform is infringing upon a copyright, you may be held liable for damages and attorneys’/lawyers’ fees.

Counter-Notice:

If you believe that any Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the content in such Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to Playto’s designated agent using any of the methods mentioned under the "Copyrights Complaints" section above:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature;
  2. Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
  3. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or a misidentification of the content; and
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the applicable jurisdiction of the courts in Kolkata, West Bengal, India (as per the Terms of Service), and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by Playto, then Playto will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 (ten) business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 (ten) to 14 (fourteen) business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

A product or service branded with the Playto name or logo is a reflection of Playto. Unless you are one of our licensees, we don't allow others to make, sell, or give away anything with our name or logo on it without our express permission.

Further, if you believe that your intellectual property rights (other than copyrights) or that of any person you know have been used in a way that gives rise to concerns of infringement, then kindly write to us at support@playto.so (with "Trademark/IP Claim" in the subject line) with a description of the trademark or intellectual property that you claim has been infringed, a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Platform, with enough detail that we may find it on the Platform, and your address, telephone number, and email address.
