Copyright & DMCA

Our policy

Aminoka respects the intellectual property of others and expects its members to do the same. Members may only upload content they own or have the right to share. When we receive a valid notice that material on Aminoka infringes a copyright, we remove it or disable access to it promptly, and we notify the member who posted it.

Reporting infringement

If you believe content on Aminoka infringes a copyright you own or are authorised to act for, send a written notice to our designated copyright agent at legal@aminoka.app with the subject "DMCA notice". Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• A description of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed (or, for several works, a representative list).
• The exact location of the infringing material on Aminoka: the link to the post, message, profile, community, card or file, so we can find it.
• Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

Members of the European Union can send the same information as a notice under the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, article 16). You can also report any content from inside the app with "..." › Report.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or that you have the right to use it, you may send a counter-notice to legal@aminoka.app including: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, telephone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the competent courts (for members outside the United States, any judicial district in which Aminoka may be found) and to accept service from the person who sent the original notice.

We forward valid counter-notices to the original complainant. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material within 10 to 14 business days.

Repeat infringers

Accounts that repeatedly post infringing content are suspended or terminated, in line with our Terms of Service.

Fan content

Many communities on Aminoka are built around existing works (anime, manga, games, books). Fan art, discussion and commentary are welcome, but uploading full copies of protected works (episodes, chapters, scans, soundtracks) is not. Card art and character names belong to their respective owners and are shown for identification of the work they come from.
