DMCA Policy

Welcome to https://xennovel.com (the “Site”). As a platform that provides translated webnovels, we respect intellectual property rights and expect others to do the same. This policy outlines our approach to copyright issues under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

1. Our Approach to Translations

We are a solo developer providing AI-translated webnovels for free to our users. We make good faith efforts to respect copyrights, but due to the nature of web novels and difficulties in obtaining permissions, we may sometimes translate and post content without prior authorization.

If an author or official translator requests removal of a translation, we will promptly comply. We believe this approach balances making content accessible to readers while respecting rights holders.

2. Copyright Infringement Claims

If you believe your copyrighted work has been used on our site without authorization, you may submit a takedown notice containing the following information:

Your physical or electronic signature
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
Identification of the allegedly infringing material on our site (preferably a URL)
Your contact information (name, address, email, phone number)
A statement of your good faith belief that the use is not authorized
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

Send takedown notices to: [email protected]

We may share information from infringement claims with the alleged infringer. By submitting a claim, you accept this.

3. Counter-Notifications

If material you posted was removed due to a copyright claim, you may submit a counter-notification if you believe the removal was a mistake. Counter-notifications must include:

Your physical or electronic signature
Identification of the removed material and its original location
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification
Your name, address, phone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of your local US Federal District Court (or appropriate judicial district if outside the US)

Send counter-notices to: [email protected]

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

We maintain a record of copyright notices and terminate accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

5. Fair Use Statement

We believe that the translations provided on our site may constitute fair use under copyright law. Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as commentary, criticism, education, and research. However, we respect the rights of copyright holders and will respond to valid takedown requests.

6. Translation Removal Process

If you are an author or official translator and wish to have a translation removed from our site:

Contact us at [email protected] with proof of your status as the author or official translator.
Identify the specific translation(s) you want removed.
We will process your request and remove the translation(s) within 5 business days.

7. Disclaimer on Machine Translations

The translations provided on this site are generated by machine translation software. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee the quality or completeness of these translations. They are provided for reference purposes only and should not be considered official or authorized translations of the original works.

8. Author/Publisher Collaboration

We are open to collaborating with authors and publishers to provide high-quality translations to our users. If you are an author or publisher interested in working with us to make your content available in multiple languages, please contact us at [email protected].

9. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time. Please check back regularly for updates.
