Trademark Policy

1. Intellectual Property Respect

OpenSocial Intellectrax Private Limited (“Sikhami,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others, including trademark rights, and expects its users to do the same. Sikhami is a platform for sharing original educational content. Unauthorized use of trademarks that may cause confusion, deception, or mistake regarding the source, sponsorship, or affiliation of goods or services violates our Terms of Service and is strictly prohibited.

2. Trademark Infringement & User Responsibility

Users of the Sikhami platform are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of any trademarks, service marks, logos, or brand names does not infringe upon the rights of trademark owners. This includes, but is not limited to, usernames, profile content, posted materials, and any other content that may incorporate third-party trademarks.

Sikhami functions as an intermediary as defined under the Information Technology Act, 2000. Sikhami is not responsible for the trademark infringement of its users. However, we are committed to responding to legitimate claims of infringement in a prompt manner consistent with our legal obligations.

3. Reporting Trademark Infringement

If you are a trademark owner or an authorized agent and believe that any content on Sikhami infringes upon your trademark rights, you may submit a formal written takedown notice to our designated Grievance Officer.

Your notice must include the following information to be valid:

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the trademark owner.

Identification of the trademark claimed to be infringed, including registration number and jurisdiction if applicable, or details of common law rights.

Identification of the infringing material on Sikhami and details of how it is being used (e.g., in a username, profile, content post). Please provide specific URLs or detailed information that allows us to locate the material quickly.

Description of the basis for your claim, including how the use of the trademark may cause confusion, mistake, or deception among consumers.

Your contact information, including your full name, address, telephone number, and email address.

A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the trademark in the manner complained of is not authorized by the trademark owner, its agent, or the law.

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 trademark right that is allegedly infringed.

4. Our Action on a Valid Takedown Notice

Upon receipt of a complete and valid trademark infringement notice:

We will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content.

We will notify the user who posted the content, providing them with a copy of the notice and informing them that the content has been removed.

This removal will count as a “Trademark Strike” against the user’s account.

5. The Three-Strike Policy

Sikhami operates a strict “Three-Strike” system for trademark infringement:

First Strike: Upon the first valid takedown notice, the user’s content will be removed, and they will receive a formal warning and notification of the strike.

Second Strike: Upon a second valid takedown notice, the user’s account will be temporarily suspended for a period determined by Sikhami. The user will be notified of the severity of this action.

Third Strike: Upon a third valid takedown notice, the user’s account and all associated content will be permanently deleted from the Sikhami platform. This action is final.

6. Counter-Notification (If You Believe Your Content Was Removed in Error)

If a user believes their content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification, they may send us a counter-notification. This counter-notification must be in writing and include:

The user’s physical or electronic signature.

Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal.

A statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, including any applicable defenses (such as fair use, descriptive fair use, or non-commercial use).

The user’s name, address, telephone number, and a statement that they consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in New Delhi, India.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action to restrain the user, we may, at our discretion, replace or cease disabling access to the content. A successful counter-notification will result in the removal of the associated “strike” from the user’s account.

7. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with applicable law and our Terms of Service, Sikhami will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights. Our Three-Strike system for trademark infringement is a key part of this policy.
