DMCA Copyright Policy

ToonSpace respects the intellectual property rights of authors, artists, publishers, licensors, and other copyright owners. We respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 and other applicable laws.

If you believe that copyrighted material available through ToonSpace has been used without authorization, you may submit a written takedown notice to our designated DMCA agent using the contact information provided below.

Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice

A valid DMCA notice must include substantially the following information:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed or, where multiple works are involved, a representative list of those works.
  • Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to help ToonSpace locate it, including the exact page, comic, chapter, or image URL.
  • Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Please provide clear and complete information. General references to a website, title, category, or search result may not be sufficient for us to identify the material involved.

How ToonSpace Handles Valid Notices

When ToonSpace receives a notice that substantially satisfies the applicable legal requirements, we may remove or disable access to the identified material. We may also notify the user, contributor, or relevant service provider associated with the material.

We may request additional information when a notice is incomplete, unclear, or does not identify the disputed material sufficiently. Submitting a notice does not guarantee removal when the request is invalid, unrelated to copyright, or unsupported by the required information.

Counter-Notification

If material you submitted was removed or disabled because of a DMCA notice and you believe the action resulted from a mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notification to ToonSpace’s designated agent.

A valid counter-notification must include substantially the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification.
  • Your full name, physical address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States Federal District Court or, if you reside outside the United States, a Federal District Court where the service provider may be found.
  • A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person’s authorized agent.

Counter-notifications should be sent to the same designated agent listed above.

Restoration of Removed Material

After receiving a valid counter-notification, ToonSpace may provide a copy to the person who submitted the original takedown notice.

Where required by the DMCA, the removed material may be restored within 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification unless the original complainant informs ToonSpace that a court action has been filed seeking to prevent the alleged infringement.

Repeat Infringer Policy

ToonSpace may restrict or terminate accounts or access belonging to users who repeatedly infringe copyright or repeatedly submit unauthorized material.

We may consider valid takedown notices, previous warnings, user conduct, counter-notifications, court decisions, and other relevant circumstances when applying this policy.

False or Misleading Notices

Copyright notices and counter-notifications are legal communications. A person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation about infringement or the improper removal of material may be responsible for resulting damages, costs, and legal fees.

Before submitting a notice, please consider whether the disputed material is authorized by the copyright owner or permitted by an applicable copyright exception or limitation, such as fair use.

Non-Copyright Complaints

The DMCA process applies specifically to copyright claims. It should not be used for disputes involving trademarks, privacy, defamation, impersonation, inaccurate information, business disagreements, or content that you simply dislike.

For non-copyright concerns, please use the appropriate contact method available on the ToonSpace Contact Us page.

Changes to This Policy

ToonSpace may update this DMCA Copyright Policy to reflect changes in applicable law, website operations, designated agent information, or internal review procedures.

Any revised version will be published on this page with an updated revision date. The contact information displayed here should also match the information registered with the U.S. Copyright Office where registration is required.
