For Users and Participants :

Only original individual experience and content, understood and prepared by the User participant can make this platform relevant and informative. IndiaClaims.com strongly requests for original submissions of reports, case-studies, photographs, technical notes, etc. where the user himself has participated and is involved as a professional and has prepared these submissions himself.

Contributors rights and obligations: If you contribute material to IndiaClaims.com, you thereby license it to the public. In order to contribute, you must be in a position to grant this license, which means that either

  • you own the copyright to the material, for instance because you produced it yourself, or
  • you acquired the material from a source that allows the licensing of the same as open source material , for instance because the material is itself in the public domain or is itself published and licensed as open source material.

In the first case, you retain copyright to your materials. You can later republish and re-license them in any way you like. However, you can never retract the open source  permission for the submissions and versions you placed on IndiaClaims.com : that material will always remain as open source and in public domain.

In the second case, if you incorporate external open source materials, as a requirement of the general open source licensing, you need to acknowledge the authorship and mention the link or name the source which should exactly trace back to the original source or the network location of the original copy.

Using copyrighted work from others:

All works are copyrighted unless they either fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed. Never submit to IndiaClaims.com or use materials that infringe the copyrights of others. This could create legal liabilities and seriously hurt the project. If in doubt, write / phrase it yourself. Note: that copyright law governs the creative expression of ideas, not the ideas or information themselves. The User may read an encyclopedia article or other work, reformulate the concepts in his own words, and post the same as a Submission. However, it would still be unethical to do so without citing the original as a reference. Hence please cite references in your submissions. Concepts of plagiarism and fair use would decide on how much re-formulation is necessary in a general context which the author is required to study and take care of before submitting work to IndiaClaims.com.

Linking to copyrighted works:

Since most recently-created works are copyrighted, participants must mention on all submissions to IndiaClaims.com, the source name and the link which can lead to the copyrighted material. It is not necessary to obtain the permission of a copyright holder before linking to copyrighted material just as an author of a book does not need permission to cite someone else's work in their bibliography. Likewise, IndiaClaims.com is not restricted to linking only to open-source content.

If you know that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright, please don't link to that copy of the work. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement Also, linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on IndiaClaims.com and its moderators.

Image guidelines :

Images and photographs, like written works, are subject to copyright. Someone holds the copyright unless they have been explicitly placed in the public domain. Images on the internet need to be licensed directly from the copyright holder or someone able to license on their behalf. In some cases, conceptual fair use guidelines may allow a photograph to be used.

Image description pages must be tagged with a footnote to indicate the original source of the images. Untagged or incorrectly-tagged images should not be submitted and may be deleted by IndiaClaims.com.

IndiaClaims.com is your very own website where you submit your original inputs about loss incidents, claims, survey reports, case studies, technical reports, news & events, risks, resumes, contact details, products reviews, claims experiences, threads and topics of discussion on the discussion forum etc. This site thus consists of submissions as above posted by users / third parties.
