DMCA Copyright Policy

AlwaysYou maintains a curated library of music tracks that are either:

• Licensed under Creative Commons (CC0 / CC BY) for personal use
• Obtained under royalty-free licences permitting use on our platform
• Public domain works

Each track in our library displays its licence type. Where attribution is required (e.g., CC BY), the attribution information is available in the track metadata. By selecting a track from our library, you agree to comply with its stated licence terms.

When you upload your own audio to a gift site or invitation, you confirm at the time of upload that you have the legal right to use that audio. AlwaysYou does not pre-screen user-uploaded content for copyright compliance. You bear full legal responsibility for any content you upload.

Specifically, you must have one of the following for any audio you upload:

• Ownership of the copyright in the recording and the underlying musical work
• A valid synchronisation and master use licence from the copyright holder(s)
• A licence from a performing rights organisation (e.g., IPRS, PPL India) covering the specific use
• Written permission from the rights holder for personal, non-commercial digital display

If you believe that content on our platform infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our designated agent at:

Your notice must include all of the following:

• Your full legal name, address, telephone number, and email address
• A description of the copyrighted work(s) you believe has been infringed
• The specific URL(s) of the infringing material on our platform
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the copyright owner's behalf
• Your physical or electronic signature

Incomplete notices may not be acted upon. Knowingly submitting a false notice may result in liability under the DMCA and Indian law.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will:

• Review and verify the notice within 5 business days
• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content promptly
• Notify the user who posted the content that it has been removed
• Inform the user of their right to submit a counter-notice

If you believe your content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to support@alwaysyou.in including:

• Your full name, address, phone number, and email
• Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the content was removed by mistake
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
• Your physical or electronic signature

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the removed content within 10–14 business days unless the original claimant provides evidence of legal action.

AlwaysYou has a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. A user who receives three or more valid DMCA takedown notices may have their account permanently suspended.

AlwaysYou acts as an online service provider hosting user-generated content. We comply with the notice-and-takedown provisions of the DMCA and analogous provisions of Indian law to qualify for safe harbour protections.
