Last Updated: November 14, 2026

BokNok respects the intellectual property rights of authors, publishers, translators, and content creators around the world. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA") and applicable international copyright laws, we respond promptly to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement.

If you are a copyright owner, original author, publisher, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner, and you believe that any novel, chapter, translation, cover image, or other material available on BokNok infringes upon your copyright, you may submit a written takedown notice to our Designated Copyright Agent.

1. How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice

To help us process your request quickly and accurately, your written notice must include the following information (pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

  1. Identification of the Copyrighted Work: A clear description of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim have been infringed (for example, the original Chinese title, author name, publisher, and official publication URL or registration details).
  2. Identification of the Infringing Material: The exact URL(s) on BokNok (e.g., https://.../books/{slug} or specific chapter URLs) where the allegedly infringing material is located so that we can locate it without ambiguity.
  3. Your Contact Information: Your full legal name, organization or company name (if applicable), mailing address, telephone number, and a valid email address where we can reach you.
  4. Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. Accuracy and Authority Statement: A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
  6. Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or the person authorized to act on their behalf (typing your full legal name at the bottom of an email notice is sufficient).

2. Where to Send Notices

Please send all DMCA takedown notices and copyright inquiries to our Designated Copyright Agent:

3. What Happens After We Receive a Valid Notice

Upon receipt of a complete and valid DMCA notice:

  • We will review the claim promptly (typically within 2 to 5 business days);
  • If the notice is valid and complete, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing book, chapter(s), or media;
  • Where applicable, we will make a good-faith effort to notify the party that supplied the content and, in appropriate circumstances, terminate repeat infringers.

4. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that material you hold rights to was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to [email protected] containing:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature;
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location (URL) at which the material appeared before it was removed;
  3. 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;
  4. Your full name, address, telephone number, email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notification.

5. Misrepresentations

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages.
