Gletra copyright infringement reporting, DMCA-style takedown procedures, and rights protection for marketplace listings, chat media, and service provider content.

Updated June 19, 2026 6 min read Official Gletra Policy

Gletra Technologies Pvt. Ltd. respects the intellectual property rights of creators, brands, publishers, and copyright owners worldwide. As a multi-vendor marketplace with integrated chat, voice and video calling, and home services booking, our platform hosts substantial user-generated content including product images, descriptions, review media, chat attachments, and service provider portfolios.

This Copyright Policy establishes the procedures by which copyright owners may report alleged infringement on Gletra, the obligations of sellers and service providers who upload content, and the counter-notification process available to users whose content has been removed. Gletra acts as an intermediary platform and responds promptly to valid infringement notices in accordance with applicable copyright laws, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and relevant intermediary guidelines in India.

All users — buyers, sellers, service providers, and visitors — must ensure that content they upload, share via Gletra Chat, or display in listings does not infringe third-party copyrights. Unauthorized reproduction of photographs, product designs, software, written materials, music, video clips, or branded assets may result in content removal, account suspension, and referral to legal authorities.

By using Gletra, you acknowledge that repeated or willful copyright violations constitute a material breach of our Terms & Conditions and may expose you to civil and criminal liability. Copyright holders and authorized agents may submit notices using the procedures outlined below.
