DMCA Policy

At upbocww.com, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. This DMCA Policy is designed to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and outlines our procedures for addressing claims of copyright infringement.

As an independent informational portal focused on the UPBOCW (Uttar Pradesh Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board), we primarily publish human-researched guides, unique analysis, and educational content. However, we also host community-driven discussions and user-generated comments. This policy ensures that any unintentional infringement is dealt with swiftly and professionally.

1. Our Stance on Original Content

Every article, guide, and troubleshooting tip on upbocww.com is created by our senior in-house researchers. We go to great lengths to ensure that our descriptions of government schemes like Atal Residential Schools or Kanya Vivah Sahayta are our own original work. We do not support or engage in “scraping” or plagiarizing content from the official government portal (upbocw.in) or other independent labor welfare blogs.

2. Reporting Infringement (Notice of Copyright Infringement)

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent and believe that any content hosted on upbocww.com infringes upon your copyright, you may submit a “Notice of Infringement” to our Designated Copyright Agent.

To be effective, your notice must be in writing and include the following information:

  • Identification of the Copyrighted Work: A clear description of the work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are involved, please provide a comprehensive list.
  • Identification of the Infringing Material: The exact URL(s) or description of where the infringing material is located on our site so we can find and remove it.
  • Your Contact Information: Please provide your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A “Good Faith” Statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • An “Accuracy” Statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  • Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or their authorized representative.

3. Where to Send Your DMCA Notice

Please send your completed notice to our support team at the following email address:

Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will act promptly to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. We also reserve the right to notify the user who posted the content that it has been removed.

4. Counter-Notification Process

If you believe that your content was removed by mistake or through misidentification, you have the right to file a “Counter-Notification.” In accordance with the DMCA, your counter-notice must include:

  • Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you are outside India/USA, the jurisdiction where our service provider is located).
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the removed content at our discretion, unless the original complaining party files a court action against the user.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

At upbocww.com, we take copyright seriously. We maintain a strict policy for repeat infringers. If a user is found to have repeatedly uploaded or shared copyrighted material without authorization in our comments or community sections, we will terminate their access to our platform and block their IP address from future interactions.

6. Fair Use and Educational Content

Many of our guides reference official government forms, notifications, and portal screenshots from upbocw.in. We use these elements under the principles of Fair Use for educational and instructional purposes—specifically to help construction workers navigate the digital portal. If you represent the UPBOCW Board and have concerns about specific instructional imagery, please contact us directly so we can make the necessary adjustments.

7. Limitation of Liability

By using our site, you acknowledge that upbocww.com is an intermediary platform and we are not liable for user-generated content unless we fail to act upon a valid DMCA notice. We strive to maintain a clean, high-quality site that respects all creators.
