Copyright

We respect the rights of authors, publishers and translators. If you hold the rights to a work published on NovelVerse, or act for someone who does, and you do not want it here, tell us and we will remove it. This process follows the notice-and-takedown model of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and we apply it to requests from any country.

Send a takedown notice

Email dmca@novelverse.co with:

1. the work you own or represent (for example the original novel's title and author, or your translation);
2. the NovelVerse address of each novel, chapter or comment to remove (a link to the novel page is enough to remove the whole novel);
3. your name, organisation if any, postal address and email;
4. a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent or the law;
5. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them;
6. your physical or electronic signature (your full name is enough).

What happens next

• We confirm that we received the notice and remove or disable the content, usually within two business days. Removed pages also leave our cache, so they stop being served everywhere.
• If a notice is missing information we need to find the content, we ask for it before acting.
• If a reader's comment or review is removed, we tell them and give them a copy of the notice, with your personal contact details removed if you ask.

Counter-notice

If something you posted was removed and you believe that was a mistake, email dmca@novelverse.co with: the content that was removed and where it was; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address and email; a statement that you accept the jurisdiction of the courts where you live (or, outside the United States, any court where NovelVerse may be found) and will accept service from the person who sent the notice; and your signature. We forward it to the person who sent the notice and may restore the content after 10 business days unless they tell us they have started legal action.

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of readers who repeatedly post content that infringes other people's rights.

False notices

A notice or counter-notice that knowingly misrepresents the facts can make its sender liable for damages. If you are not sure whether something infringes your rights, consider getting legal advice first.
