Shayari Magazine may reject or remove a submission if the submitter provides:

• A false name
• False payment information

This permission allows Urdu Poetry Contest to use the submitted material without obtaining separate consent for each individual publication and without additional compensation, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The winner confirms that they have the necessary rights and permissions to submit the material and that its authorized use under this policy does not knowingly infringe the rights of any third party.

10. Administrative Verification and Discretion

The administration reserves the right to verify the winner’s identity, delivery request, payment records, and recipient details before dispatching an award.
