Brewszilla's app, website, and services host original content owned by Brewszilla and its licensors as well as user‑generated content contributed by the community.
Copyright subsists in eligible literary, artistic, musical, cinematograph, and sound recording works as defined by Indian law, and infringement occurs where exclusive rights are violated without authorization.
Nothing in this policy limits rights, exceptions, or limitations available under the Copyright Act, 1957 to the extent applicable.
Users submitting content (for example, text, photos, menus, videos, logos) represent and warrant that they hold the necessary rights, licenses, permissions, and consents to post and share such content in India.
Users agree not to upload or share content that infringes copyright or other IP rights, including unauthorized reproductions, adaptations, public communications, or derivative works of protected content.
Users remain responsible for their submissions and agree to resolve any third‑party claims arising from their content in accordance with this policy and applicable law.
By posting or uploading content, users grant Brewszilla a non‑exclusive, worldwide, royalty‑free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, publicly display, and distribute the content solely to operate, secure, improve, and promote the platform and services.
This license does not transfer ownership and terminates for future use when content is deleted, subject to operational backups, legal holds, and copies retained or shared as required by law.
Brewszilla may transform content to meet technical or accessibility requirements without altering users' underlying ownership rights.
To the extent Brewszilla acts as an "intermediary," it seeks safe‑harbour protection under Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 by complying with prescribed due diligence and takedown obligations.
Brewszilla does not pre‑screen all content, does not assume editorial control over third‑party submissions, and relies on lawful notices and processes to remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material.
Failure by a user to comply with law or policy may result in content removal and account action without prejudice to other remedies at law.
Rightsholders or authorized agents can submit infringement notices through the in‑app grievance channel or the designated contact published in the platform, including: identification of the copyrighted work, URLs or precise locations of the allegedly infringing material, contact details, a good‑faith statement, and a verifiable signature or equivalent authentication.
Upon receipt of a facially complete notice and where required by Indian law (for example, court order or government notice), Brewszilla will act to remove or disable access to the specified material consistent with timelines and procedures under the IT Rules, 2021.
Brewszilla may notify the user who posted the material and may share the notice with affected parties and authorities, subject to legal requirements and privacy policies.
A user who believes their material was removed in error may submit a counter‑notice with sufficient detail to identify the material, explain the basis for non‑infringement or authorization, and provide contact information for further communication.
Where permitted by law and absent a contrary court or government direction, Brewszilla may restore access to the material after a reasonable period, while reserving rights to maintain removal to mitigate risk.
Knowingly false notices or counter‑notices may result in account action and potential legal consequences under applicable law.
Brewszilla operates a graduated enforcement process that may include warnings, feature restrictions, temporary suspensions, and eventual termination for accounts that repeatedly infringe or facilitate infringement.
Repeat‑infringer determinations consider notice validity, counter‑notice outcomes, court or government directions, and evidence of persistent non‑compliance.
Partners and merchants may face listing removal or commercial consequences for repeated or willful IP violations.
All notices should include: claimant's name and authority, contact details, clear identification of works and allegedly infringing material (with URLs or in‑app paths), a good‑faith statement, an accuracy statement under penalty of perjury or equivalent, and a signature or digitally verifiable attestation.
Brewszilla may request additional information to verify claims, assess exceptions or licenses, and comply with legal process before taking action.
Incomplete notices may be rejected without prejudice to resubmission, and automated bulk submissions may be de‑prioritized unless required by law.
Brewszilla may preserve content, notices, logs, and related metadata for a reasonable period to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or cooperate with lawful investigations.
Information may be shared with competent authorities, courts, and applicable parties when required under the IT Act and Rules or other valid legal process.
Brewszilla may provide aggregate transparency information on IP enforcement where appropriate and permitted by law.
A grievance mechanism is maintained consistent with the Intermediary Guidelines, including acknowledgement, processing, and escalation paths in line with applicable schedules and any notified amendments.
Brewszilla will act on court orders or government notifications in accordance with the IT Act and IT Rules and may provide status updates to complainants where feasible.
Amendments notified by MeitY will be tracked and implemented to ensure continued compliance with evolving due‑diligence standards.
Brewszilla may use technical and organizational measures, including content fingerprinting, hash‑matching, or other proportionate tools to help detect and address repeat uploads of content subject to valid takedowns, consistent with law.
Automated measures supplement, but do not replace, legal review and user safeguards, including counter‑notice and grievance processes.
Measures are calibrated to reduce over‑blocking and respect lawful uses recognized by Indian copyright law.
Brewszilla may provide guidance to users and merchants on attribution, licensing, and permissions to reduce inadvertent infringement and improve content quality.
Partners are expected to maintain appropriate rights for brand assets, menus, photographs, and media used on listings and promotions on the platform.
Failure to maintain rights may result in removal of materials and commercial or account consequences.
This policy is governed by the laws of India, including the Copyright Act, 1957 and the Information Technology Act, 2000, read with the Intermediary Guidelines, 2021 and notified amendments.
Brewszilla may update this policy to reflect legal changes, regulatory updates, or operational improvements, with effectiveness upon posting in the app or site and subject to mandatory notices where required.
Continued use of the platform after updates indicates acceptance of the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.
Key legal bases include the Copyright Act, 1957 (for subsistence, rights, and remedies), the IT Act, 2000 (including safe‑harbour under Section 79), and the IT Rules, 2021 as amended, which together inform due diligence, notice‑and‑takedown, and grievance obligations for intermediaries in India.
Official resources include the India Code and MeitY publications and notifications, which Brewszilla monitors to keep its processes current and compliant.
