DMCA Copyright Policy
Standard operating procedures, statutory requirements, and formal notification mechanisms pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).
1. Commitment to Intellectual Property Protection
SCARLET ARCHIVE Publishing House ("SCARLET ARCHIVE") operates as an online content publisher and service provider dedicated to ethical digital distribution. We strictly respect the intellectual property rights of creators, writers, illustrators, translation houses, and corporate rights-holders worldwide.
It is our steadfast policy to respond expeditiously to formal notices of alleged copyright infringement in complete adherence to Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c) (the "Digital Millennium Copyright Act" or "DMCA"), as well as reciprocal global copyright frameworks including the Berne Convention and WIPO Copyright Treaty. Upon receipt of a valid and complete infringement notification, we will expeditiously remove or disable public access to the challenged material.
2. Mandatory Requirements for a Valid DMCA Notice
To ensure prompt and lawful action, copyright owners or their legally authorized agents must submit a written notification containing each of the statutory elements specified under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). Incomplete submissions cannot be processed.
- Authorized Signature: A physical or verified electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the Protected Work: Clear identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works on our site are covered by a single notice, a representative list of such works.
- Identification of the Infringing Material: Clear identification of the specific material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, including the exact URL(s) on

4. Counter-Notification Procedure (17 U.S.C. § 512(g))
If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake, misidentification, or fair use authorization, you may file a formal Counter-Notification with our Designated Agent pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). A valid counter-notification must be in writing and include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location/URL at which the material appeared before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your full legal name, physical address, and telephone number, along with a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in which your address is located (or if outside the United States, any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notification.
Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notification, we will forward a copy to the original complaining party. If the copyright owner does not file a court action seeking a restraining order within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days, we may restore the removed material at our discretion.

Any user, contributor, or publisher account identified as repeatedly uploading or transmitting infringing materials will face immediate termination of privileges and permanent exclusion from the platform.
