At Lottery Sambad Express, we are committed to respecting intellectual property rights and complying with applicable copyright laws. We respond promptly to any legitimate claims of copyright infringement. This policy is guided by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, and the Information Technology Act, 2000.
1. About Our Content
1.1 Original Content
All original written content, page layouts, website design, visual elements, and creative material produced by our team is our intellectual property and is protected under the Indian Copyright Act, 1957. This content may not be reproduced, distributed, or used for commercial purposes without our written consent.
1.2 Lottery Result Data
Lottery draw results on our website are sourced from publicly available official government channels, including Official Government Gazettes, nagalandlotteries.com, dearlotteries.com, and lotterysambad.com. We present results in our own format for user convenience. We do not claim ownership of official lottery result data.
All trademarks, brand names, lottery draw names (such as Dear Morning, Dear Day, Dear Evening, and similar designations), and official marks remain the exclusive property of their respective owners. Their use on our website is strictly for informational identification and does not imply ownership, affiliation, or endorsement.
2. Our Commitment
- We respect the intellectual property rights of all individuals, organisations, and government bodies.
- We do not knowingly host or publish content that infringes copyright.
- We respond to legitimate infringement notices promptly and in good faith.

5. Repeat Infringement Policy

6. Fair Use and Public Interest
We believe in the principles of fair use and fair dealing as recognised under Section 52 of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957. Lottery result data is published by state governments through Official Government Gazettes for public access. Our use of this data is for purely informational, non-commercial, public interest purposes — specifically, to help individuals who have purchased lottery tickets through official channels to conveniently access their results online.
We do not reproduce official result data to compete with or substitute official government publications. Our website serves as a supplementary informational resource that presents officially published results in a user-friendly, accessible, and mobile-optimised format. If any copyright holder believes our use exceeds fair dealing, we welcome dialogue and are prepared to take appropriate action upon receiving a valid notice.
7. Third-Party Content
Our website may contain links to external websites. We do not control their content and are not responsible for any copyright issues on those platforms.
8. Protection of Our Content
We actively protect our original content. If you discover that content from Lottery Sambad Express has been copied or republished on another platform without our permission, we would appreciate you informing us so we can take appropriate action. Unauthorised reproduction constitutes copyright infringement under Indian law, and we reserve the right to pursue all available legal remedies.
9. Applicable Laws
This policy is governed by the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, the Information Technology Act, 2000, the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, and follows DMCA-aligned takedown procedures as a globally recognised best practice. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in India.
10. Good Faith Statement
Lottery Sambad Express operates in good faith with full respect for intellectual property rights. We acknowledge that lottery result data originates from official state government sources, and we are grateful for the public availability of this information. Should any authority or rights holder have concerns, we invite them to contact us and we will address the matter promptly, respectfully, and cooperatively.
