DMCA / Copyright Policy

Published: 24 May 2026 · Updated: 24 May 2026

AO Code Find (aocodefind.com) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This DMCA / Copyright Policy explains how we handle copyright complaints relating to content published on this website, in line with the principles of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and the requirements of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957 and the Information Technology Act, 2000.

1. Our Position on Copyright

The original content on AO Code Find, including our written explanations, article structure, summaries, guides, graphics and design, is created by us and is protected by copyright. Factual information such as area codes, ward and circle descriptions and jurisdiction details originates from official government sources and remains in the public domain; our presentation and explanation of it are original work.

We do not knowingly publish content that infringes the copyright of any third party. If you believe we have, the procedure below lets you notify us so we can review and act.

2. Filing a Copyright Complaint (Takedown Notice)

If you are a copyright owner, or authorised to act on behalf of one, and you believe that content on aocodefind.com infringes your copyright, you may send us a written notice. To be valid and actionable, your notice must include all of the following:

• An identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, with enough detail for us to locate it (for example, a link to or a copy of your original work).
• The exact URL or URLs on aocodefind.com where the allegedly infringing material is located.
• Your full name, postal address, email address and telephone number so we can contact you.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

3. Where to Send the Notice

Please send your complete copyright complaint to:

• Email: contact@aocodefind.com
• Subject line: DMCA / Copyright Complaint
• Website: aocodefind.com

Using a clear subject line helps us identify and prioritise your complaint.

4. What Happens After We Receive a Valid Notice

Once we receive a valid and complete notice, we will:

• Review the complaint and the content identified.
• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material if the complaint is found to be valid, usually within a reasonable time frame.
• Make a good-faith effort to notify the person who posted the content, where applicable.

We may, at our discretion, ask for additional information before acting, and we may decline to act on notices that are incomplete or appear to be made in bad faith.

5. Counter-Notice

If you are the person who submitted content that was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter-notice. Your counter-notice should include:

• Identification of the material that was removed and the URL where it appeared before removal.
• Your full name, postal address, email address and telephone number.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts and will accept service of process from the party who filed the original complaint.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Send counter-notices to the same email address listed in Section 3.

6. Repeat Infringers

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to remove content, restrict access or terminate the access of any user who is found to repeatedly infringe the copyright or other intellectual property rights of others.

7. Misuse of This Process

Filing a false or bad-faith copyright complaint or counter-notice may expose you to liability for damages under applicable law. Please be sure that the content genuinely infringes your rights before submitting a notice.

8. Good-Faith Handling

AO Code Find handles all copyright complaints in good faith and aims to balance the rights of copyright owners with fair use of public-domain factual information. Removal of any content in response to a notice does not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing on our part.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this DMCA / Copyright Policy from time to time. Any changes will be shown by revising the "Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
