Copyright Policy

Last updated: February 23, 2026

Inkover ("Service") respects intellectual property rights and expects its users to do the same. This Policy describes the procedure for handling rights holder claims and actions taken regarding content that infringes copyrights or related rights.

1. Nature of the Service

Inkover is an AI-powered tool for automated manga translation. The Service provides users with the technical ability to upload images, process them (OCR, translation, image generation), and view the results.

The Service does not publish, distribute, or make processing results publicly available. Translated materials are accessible exclusively to the User who uploaded the source content, within their personal account.

Users are solely responsible for the legality of uploaded content and for compliance with copyright law in their use of it.

2. Service Position on Copyright

The Service operates as an intermediary service provider. The Service does not perform pre-moderation of uploaded content but takes action to remove content upon receiving a substantiated claim from a rights holder.

3. Filing a Copyright Complaint

If you are a copyright holder or an authorized representative and believe that materials within the Service infringe your copyright or related rights, please send a notice to [email protected] with the following information:

  1. Identification of the work you believe has been infringed (title, author, publisher, link to original).
  2. Description of the alleged infringement and how your rights are being violated.
  3. Your contact information (full name or organization name, email address, phone number).
  4. Confirmation that you are the rights holder or an authorized representative.
  5. A statement of good faith (that the information in the notice is accurate).

4. Actions Upon Receipt of a Complaint

Upon receiving a substantiated rights holder complaint, the Service takes the following actions:

  • Reviews the complaint within 5 (five) business days of receipt.
  • If infringement is confirmed, removes or restricts access to the disputed content.
  • Notifies the User who uploaded the content about the complaint received and actions taken.

5. Counter-Notification

A User whose content has been removed or restricted following a rights holder complaint may submit a counter-notification to [email protected], containing:

  1. Identification of the removed or restricted content.
  2. Justification for lawful use of the content (license, rights holder permission, applicable copyright exceptions).
  3. User's contact information.

Counter-notifications are reviewed within 10 (ten) business days. If grounds exist, access to the content may be restored.

6. Repeat Infringements

The Service reserves the right to block or delete the account of any User who systematically or egregiously infringes copyrights.

7. DMCA (for US-based Users)

For users within US jurisdiction, the Service also accepts notices in the format prescribed by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. Notices should be sent to: [email protected].

A DMCA notice must contain:

  1. Physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
  3. Identification of the infringing material and its location within the Service.
  4. Contact information of the complaining party.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

8. Limitations

The Service is not liable for content uploaded by Users. The Service does not perform pre-screening of content for copyright compliance and acts solely upon rights holder complaints.
