This includes, without limitation, all original episode recordings, show branding, artwork, scripts, show notes, and any materials created by our team, hosts, interns, or Contributors in the course of producing the Network's Content.

Except as expressly permitted under these Terms or in a separate written agreement, no right, title, or interest in any Content is transferred to you by virtue of your access or use.

All hosts, co-hosts, interns, producers, editors, and other Contributors who create Content for or on behalf of the Network do so under an arrangement that assigns all intellectual property rights in that Content to Healthy Mind by Avik™, Digitimes Pvt Ltd, and Avik Chakraborty, unless a separate written agreement explicitly states otherwise.

Contributors do not retain independent ownership, distribution rights, or licensing rights over any Content created in their capacity as part of this Network, unless expressly confirmed in writing by Avik Chakraborty.

This assignment applies to all Content produced during the course of the Contributor's engagement with the Network, regardless of whether that engagement is paid, voluntary, or on an internship basis, and regardless of which device, platform, or location was used to create the Content.

5. License Grant (Limited Personal Use)

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to access and use the Content solely for personal, non-commercial listening and viewing purposes.

Under this licence, you may: stream episodes on any Platform that officially distributes our Content; download episodes for personal offline listening where the Platform expressly permits downloads such as Spotify Premium or Apple Podcasts; share official links to our episodes, website pages, or social media posts; and reference, discuss, or review the Podcast in commentary or editorial content, provided you do not reproduce substantial portions of the Content and provide appropriate attribution.

This licence does not extend to any commercial use, redistribution, adaptation, or republication of Content in any form.

6. Prohibited Uses

Unless you have obtained our prior written consent, you may not, and may not permit, authorise, or enable any third party to:

Reproduce, upload, re-upload, repost, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, or syndicate any portion of the Content including full episodes, substantial excerpts, or transcripts on any platform, website, app, social channel, or feed, including mirror or aggregator feeds; modify, edit, remix, translate, dub, adapt, sample, or create any derivative work from the Content; use the Content for any commercial purpose, including but not limited to advertisements, sponsorships, paid communities, online courses, books, merchandise, NFTs, products, services, or brand promotions, except as expressly permitted under a paid commercial arrangement with PodHub as described in Section 9; use the Content in any manner that is misleading, defamatory, harmful, unlawful, or that distorts the original context or intent; remove, alter, or obscure any copyright notice, trademark, watermark, attribution, or proprietary legend; use the Content to imply any endorsement, partnership, or affiliation with Healthy Mind by Avik™ without our prior written consent; or use bots, scrapers, spiders, or automated systems to access, harvest, or reproduce Content at scale.

7. Clips, Excerpts, and Social Sharing

Default rule: you may freely share links to our episodes and official social media posts at any time.

Audio or video clips including short-form excerpts used on social media require our prior written permission, with the following exceptions:

Official clips posted directly by Healthy Mind by Avik™ on our own social channels may be re-shared using each platform's native share functionality such as Instagram repost or Spotify share link. Re-sharing does not constitute a licence to download, re-upload, or republish the clip independently.

Expressly licensed clips where we have granted written permission to a specific individual or organisation for a defined purpose.

Where permission for clip use is granted, we may impose conditions including attribution requirements, maximum length restrictions, platform limitations, approval of final edit, and prohibition on monetisation.

Guests may share their own episode as a link or using official platform share tools. Guests may not independently re-upload, re-distribute, or monetise the episode audio or video without our prior written consent, regardless of their contribution to the Content.

8. No AI Training, Dataset Use, or Voice Synthesis

Without our prior written consent, you may not: use any Content to train, fine-tune, benchmark, evaluate, or develop any machine learning model, artificial intelligence system, or large language model; create, compile, or distribute datasets derived from the Content, including transcripts, audio segments, or metadata at scale; generate synthetic voice, likeness, image, or sound-alike content based on or derived from the Podcast or any of its hosts, guests, or contributors; or use the Content for automated summarisation, scraping, or republishing through AI-powered tools or services.

This restriction applies regardless of whether such use is commercial or non-commercial.

For the avoidance of doubt, personal use of AI transcription or note-taking tools for private, non-commercial listening purposes such as personal note-taking from an episode is not prohibited by this Section, provided that the resulting transcripts or summaries are not redistributed, published, shared publicly, or used as training data for any model or system. Any commercial, systematic, or large-scale use of AI tools to process, summarise, or redistribute Content remains strictly prohibited without our prior written consent.

9. Commercial Use and Sponsorship Arrangements

PodHub offers paid commercial arrangements including sponsored episodes, advertising integrations, brand deal packages, and guest appearance packages. These are available to brands, organisations, and individuals subject to a separate written commercial agreement.

A paid commercial arrangement does not grant the brand or sponsor any ownership rights, distribution rights, or licence to independently reproduce or redistribute the associated Content. Specific permissions granted under a commercial arrangement will be defined in the relevant written agreement.

If you are a brand, agency, or individual interested in a commercial arrangement, please contact services@podhealth.club with the subject line: "Commercial Enquiry: Healthy Mind by Avik™".

10. Episode Removal and Archive Policy

No licence is granted to use these brand assets except for the limited purpose of accurately referencing or linking to the Podcast in a factual, editorial, or commentary context.

Any use of our brand assets in a manner that implies endorsement, partnership, or commercial affiliation without our written consent is strictly prohibited and may constitute trademark infringement.

12. Third-Party Rights and Guest Content

Guests who appear on the Network grant Healthy Mind by Avik™ the rights described in these Terms and in the Guest Release and Recording Consent by virtue of their participation. Where a Guest has entered into a separate written guest agreement, the terms of that agreement shall govern to the extent of any conflict.

We do not establish a therapist-client, doctor-patient, attorney-client, or any other professional relationship through the Podcast or any of its Content.

All views expressed by Guests are their personal opinions only and do not represent the views, beliefs, or positions of the host, Digitimes Pvt Ltd, or Healthy Mind by Avik™.

In addition to this written disclaimer, hosts within our network are instructed to deliver verbal reminders within episodes where appropriate, noting that episode content is supportive and informational in nature and is not a substitute for professional advice. The presence or absence of a verbal in-episode reminder does not affect the applicability of this written disclaimer, which governs all Content across the Network at all times.

Listeners are encouraged to engage critically and independently with all Content. Do not rely blindly on anything heard in any episode. If you are experiencing mental health challenges or any other personal crisis, please seek qualified professional support in your region.
