Shahar Saarthi is a marketplace where mostly local suppliers / vendors upload the content and we have in-house rules to prevent any misalignment of interests between our local suppliers and vendors who upload content on our marketplace. Our aim is to ensure that no material inconsistent with our terms and conditions is present on our website or any physical form with the branding of Shahar Saarthi.
Without prior written consent from the company, visitors to the website are prohibited from reproducing, performing, creating derivative works from, republishing, or uploading any content from the website. However, downloadable items displayed on the website may be downloaded for personal, non-commercial home use only, provided that all copyright and other notices contained in the contents are left intact.
It should be noted that when referring to "Shahar Saarthi", "us", or "the company" in this document, it is a direct reference to the company Shahar Saarthi. Additionally, any mention of "content" encompasses all forms of content, including but not limited to media-based content such as images, videos, and presentation slides.
For Local Guides/Vendors/Tour Suppliers/Shahar Saarthi agents/Partners:
-
Upload only 100% unique content. The content should not be copied from any other website or any digital or physical source of information. If you have the same itinerary on your own website (in cases where required, you will have to provide substantial proof* of being the owner), we would suggest that you rewrite the content which will be different in structure but the same as the meaning you are trying to derive. In such a case, we may be able to assist you with content writers to undergo the task of rewriting the content.
-
The experience/tour needs to be conducted by you and not by any other party. You should have full rights to any information displayed on the Shahar Saarthi website by you. The experience/tour cannot be outsourced by you to any other third party. Hence, by uploading an experience/tour onto our website, you agree to being the party which conducts the experience/tour in its entirety**.
-
The uploader must own full rights to any media uploaded by him/her. All media including videos/pictures/slides/marketing material etc need to be owned by you/your company and Shahar Saarthi holds the right to use it there onwards without the requirement for attribution of credits.

You should have sole and entire copyright for any form of information*** uploaded by you as per Rule 3. Please do not upload anything which does not belong to you or your company and for which you do not have sole ownership. We prohibit you from using anything under the Creative Commons license. If any violation of this rule takes place, indicated to us by either the company officials or the general public or the owner of the material itself, the infringing experience/tour will be immediately removed from the website and you will be held responsible for any kind of infringement be it image/video/content or anything else. This will also result in the removal of all experiences/tours uploaded by you onto our website and will end in a permanent ban from being a supplier for Shahar Saarthi.
-
Mismatch in the media and content uploaded is a bannable offense. If the images of the experience/tour and the content describing it do not match or are seen to be intentionally depicting incorrect information in order to misinform the viewer of the content, the experience/tour will be removed, and the supplier will be banned.
-
In case of any true claims, the company will pass on your details to the copyright claimer. This is subject to Shahar Saarthi's decision on that matter after its analysis on that issue.
-
If a supplier reports any copyright violation, appropriate actions will be taken within three business days.
