Copyright and Takedown Policy

Choose the right report path

Tsuiseki keeps ordinary source and site reports separate from formal copyright notices. This prevents routine support requests from being sent to the public designated-agent contact while keeping the legal process clearly reachable.

1. What would you like to report?

2. What this policy covers

This process covers:

  • material displayed on Tsuiseki, including its own pages and user-submitted Forum posts, Collections, profiles, or images alleged to infringe copyright;
  • an external destination displayed by Tsuiseki;
  • a title-to-provider mapping or exact chapter or episode destination;
  • a complete external provider where broader action is reasonably justified.

External providers are independently operated. Tsuiseki can remove or disable its own link or mapping, but it cannot remove material from another provider's website. A rights holder may also need to contact that provider directly.

3. How Tsuiseki responds

Tsuiseki may acknowledge a report, request missing information, preserve a limited audit record, review the affected mapping and provider classification, and take one or more of these actions:

  • disable one exact destination;
  • remove or correct a title mapping;
  • disable an entire provider;
  • remove or replace material displayed on Tsuiseki, including user submissions;
  • dismiss a report that is incomplete, mistaken, abusive, or unsupported.

Urgent temporary disablement may occur before a complete legal determination. Removing a destination does not delete a user's Library progress.

4. Repeat infringement and abuse

Tsuiseki may suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly submit infringing material through Tsuiseki-owned features or repeatedly use the Service to facilitate infringement. This includes enabled Community publishing, Forum replies, profiles, and image submissions. Arbitrary user-submitted reading or streaming URLs are not accepted as trusted media destinations.

Knowingly false notices or counter-notices can cause harm and may create legal liability. Tsuiseki may restrict abusive reporters and preserve evidence needed to address fraud or harassment.
