The agent above is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory. Notices that are not directed to the Designated Agent will not receive the protections of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).

For questions unrelated to copyright takedowns, contact contact@nisatsu.com.

If you in good faith believe that material on Nisatsu infringes your copyright, send a written notice to the Designated Agent above that includes all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it. For Nisatsu, the simplest path is the story URL or the story ID shown in the reader.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a takedown notice can create liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). If you are not sure whether the use you are objecting to is infringing (e.g. it may be fair use), please consult counsel before sending a notice.

On receipt of a notice that satisfies the statutory requirements, we will (a) expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material, (b) take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted it that the material has been removed, and (c) forward a copy of the notice to that user.

If you posted material that was removed and you believe the removal was the result of a mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice with the Designated Agent that includes all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which Nisatsu may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or that person's agent.

On receipt of a complete counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless the complainant notifies us within 10–14 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order against you, we may restore the removed material.

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Nisatsu terminates the accounts of users determined to be repeat infringers. Specifically:

An account that is the subject of 3 or more valid, unrebutted DMCA takedown notices within any 12-month rolling window will be terminated, and the account holder may not register a new account on Nisatsu under the same identity.

A notice is considered unrebutted if the user did not file a counter-notice during the statutory window, or if the rights-holder filed suit after a counter-notice was sent. Notices that we determine are defective, improperly addressed, or rescinded by the sender do not count toward the threshold. We retain records of every notice received and every corresponding takedown action, including timestamps, so the count can be reconstructed if challenged.

For non-copyright IP issues, trademark, right of publicity, etc., please email contact@nisatsu.com with a clear description of the right you hold and the material you object to. See also the Community Guidelines, which prohibit requests to recreate or extend someone else's characters, settings, or story worlds.
