Playmaker India respects intellectual property rights and expects visitors, contributors, and content partners to do the same.
This Copyright Policy explains how original Playmaker India content may be used and how copyright concerns can be reported.
1. Ownership of Original Content
Unless otherwise stated, original articles, written commentary, tactical analysis, website copy, original graphics, and other creative materials produced by Playmaker India belong to Playmaker India or their respective creators.
Such materials may be protected under applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.
2. Third-Party Content
Football club names, competition titles, logos, trademarks, photographs, videos, broadcasts, and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners.
References to these materials are made for football reporting, commentary, analysis, identification, or other legitimate purposes.
Their appearance on Playmaker India does not imply ownership, sponsorship, endorsement, or official affiliation.
Where third-party copyrighted material is used, we aim to obtain appropriate authorisation or rely on an applicable legal exception.
3. Reuse of Playmaker India Content
Visitors are welcome to share links to our publicly available articles and pages.
However, reproducing substantial portions of original Playmaker India articles, graphics, or other protected content may require prior permission unless permitted by applicable law.
When sharing brief excerpts, we request appropriate attribution and a link to the original article.
Attribution alone does not necessarily authorise reuse of copyrighted material.
4. Copyright Complaints
If you believe that material published on Playmaker India infringes your copyright, please contact us.
To help us review your complaint, include:
Your full name and contact information.
Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed.
The exact URL of the material on Playmaker India.
An explanation of why you believe the use is unauthorised.
Evidence of ownership or authority to act on behalf of the rights holder.
Any other relevant supporting information.
We may request additional information when necessary.
5. Review and Removal Requests
We take legitimate copyright concerns seriously.
When we receive a sufficiently detailed complaint, we aim to review the relevant material and consider appropriate action.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
Correcting attribution.
Replacing or removing an image or video.
Modifying an article.
Restricting access to disputed material.
Removing content when appropriate.
We may also seek clarification from the complainant or the person who supplied the material.
6. Fair Use, Fair Dealing, and Other Exceptions
Copyright laws in different countries may permit certain limited uses of protected material for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, research, or review.
The availability and scope of these exceptions depend on the applicable law and the circumstances of each use.
Playmaker India does not assume that every use of third-party material is automatically lawful simply because it is used for news, analysis, or commentary.
7. Embedded Videos and External Content
Playmaker India may embed videos or link to content hosted by third-party platforms.
The relevant platform and rights holder may apply their own copyright rules and licensing conditions.
Embedding or linking to material does not transfer copyright ownership to Playmaker India.
8. Trademarks and Branding
Names, logos, badges, and trademarks belonging to football clubs, leagues, associations, manufacturers, and other organisations remain the property of their respective owners.
Playmaker India's use of such names for identification, reporting, or discussion does not imply an official partnership or endorsement.
