DMCA COPYRIGHT POLICY

Last Updated: August 4, 2026

This policy describes how KO99 handles copyright notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.

1. Designated Agent

Notices of claimed copyright infringement should be sent to:

Use the subject line “DMCA Takedown Notice.” Email to admin@ko99.com is preferred for faster routing, but a compliant notice may also be mailed to the Designated Agent mailing address above. General customer-service requests should be sent to support@ko99.com.

2. DMCA Takedown Notice

A copyright owner or authorized agent should provide a written notice containing substantially all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act for the owner of an exclusive right allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list if multiple works at one online site are covered.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient for KO99 to locate it, preferably including each exact KO99 URL, title, chapter, account, screenshot, and other location details.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to contact the complaining party, including name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the complained-of manner is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Incomplete notices may delay processing. KO99 may request clarification or additional information.

3. KO99 Response

Upon receiving a substantially compliant notice, KO99 may act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material, preserve relevant records, notify the person who supplied the material, restrict accounts, and take other appropriate action. Removal does not constitute an admission of infringement.

4. Counter-Notification

A person whose material was removed or disabled due to mistake or misidentification may submit a written counter-notification to the agent containing substantially:

1. The person’s physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed or disabled material and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that the person has a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
4. The person’s name, address, and telephone number.
5. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where the person’s address is located, or, if outside the United States, the judicial district in which KO99 may be found.
6. A statement accepting service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person’s agent.

Use subject “DMCA Counter-Notification” and send it to the agent identified above.

5. Restoration Process

KO99 may forward a valid counter-notification to the original complainant. Unless the complainant informs KO99 that a court action has been filed to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, KO99 may restore the material after no fewer than 10 and no more than 14 business days following receipt of the counter-notification, as provided by law.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

KO99 may terminate or restrict, in appropriate circumstances, users, authors, uploaders, or contributors who are repeat infringers. KO99 may consider valid notices, counter-notices, retractions, court decisions, pattern and severity, account history, and other relevant information.

7. Misrepresentations

Knowingly materially misrepresenting that material is infringing or was removed by mistake may create liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Submitters should consider fair use, licenses, public-domain status, and other legal defenses before sending a notice or counter-notification.

8. Non-Copyright Complaints

The DMCA process applies to copyright only. Trademark, privacy, publicity, defamation, impersonation, illegal-content, and other complaints should be sent to support@ko99.com with an appropriate subject and supporting details.

9. Changes and Contact

KO99 may update this policy and agent details. The public website and U.S. Copyright Office directory should always contain matching, current information.
