Copyright Policy

Sikh Wallpapers & Status HD respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect our users to do the same. This Copyright Policy explains how copyright applies to content in the App and how to report material that you believe infringes your rights.

1. Ownership

All wallpapers, artwork, illustrations, videos, the Sikh Wallpapers & Status HD name and logo, and the App software itself are protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. They are owned by us or by the original artists and are used either with permission, under licence, or under a public-domain or fair-use basis.

2. Permitted Use

While your subscription is active, you receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to:

• Set wallpapers from the App as the home or lock screen on your own device(s).
• Share an individual wallpaper with friends and family for personal, non-commercial purposes via the App's share button.

3. Prohibited Use

You may not, without our prior written permission:

• Sell, sublicense, or commercially distribute any wallpaper from the App.
• Use any wallpaper for advertising, merchandising, or any commercial product.
• Re-upload wallpapers to other apps, websites, or stock-image platforms.
• Modify or create derivative works for redistribution.

4. Sacred Imagery

Many wallpapers depict sacred Sikh imagery, including Ik Onkar, the Khanda, and the Guru Granth Sahib. Beyond legal restrictions, we ask all users to handle this content with the respect it deserves and never use it in a context that may be considered disrespectful.

5. AI-Generated Content

The App's "Ask Guru" feature provides AI-generated responses inspired by Sikh teachings and Gurbani. These responses are generated by artificial intelligence and are not direct quotations from the Guru Granth Sahib or any other religious text unless explicitly cited. AI-generated responses should not be attributed to any Guru, religious authority, or the developers. Users may not represent AI-generated responses as authentic Gurbani or as the words of any Sikh Guru.
