If you have a good-faith belief that creative materials available across the FANG service infringe upon your original copyright or intellectual property rights, you may submit a formal written copyright complaint (“DMCA Notice”) directly to our legal department.
Your notice must contain specific, comprehensive details enabling us to verify your claim and locate the disputed material. Where legally appropriate and mandated, FANG may share a copy of your complaint, including your provided contact information, with the specific platform user who uploaded the reported story files.
To evaluate and process your copyright claim quickly, your written notice must include the following components:
a) Identification of the Protected Work
A description of the original copyrighted work or proprietary intellectual property you claim has been actively infringed.
b) Identification of the Infringing Material
The specific story title, chapter numbers (if applicable), author username, and the direct URL link or inside-application location parameters necessary to isolate the content.
c) Claimant Contact Details
Your full legal name, active email address, physical mailing address, and telephone number.
d) Supporting Verification Records
Copies of formal copyright registration certificates, original timestamped publication logs, historical creative drafts, or relevant distribution licensing agreements.
e) Good-Faith Affirmation
An explicit statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the intellectual property is not authorized by the copyright owner, its legal agent, or current federal statutes.
f) Perjury Declaration
A statement made under penalty of perjury that the data provided within your notice is entirely accurate, and that you are the copyright holder or are legally authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
g) Authorized Signature
A physical or verified electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized legal representative.

Note: FANG reserves the right to request additional identification documentation or text logs before executing removal actions if the initial notice lacks sufficient details.
If your published writing has been removed or hidden due to a copyright complaint, and you believe this action occurred as a result of a mistake, misidentification, or a fair-use protection, you may file a formal counter-notification.
Your counter-notice must be submitted in writing to legal@fangapp.io and must contain:
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, FANG will forward it to the original complainant. If the copyright owner does not file a court action seeking a restraining order against the content within ten (10) business days, our system is authorized under safe harbor rules to restore the hidden material to public view.
In alignment with our automated Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) controls, FANG enforces a zero-tolerance policy against repeat infringers and systemic plagiarism:
Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any individual who knowingly materially misrepresents that online material is infringing can be held legally liable for damages, including court costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the alleged infringer or the platform provider. FANG will actively pursue account deactivation and legal remedies against any party who knowingly submits false, malicious, or misleading copyright notices to disrupt our creators.
FANG operates fundamentally as a neutral online service provider. We do not pre-screen all serialized manuscript text before publication, nor do we independently investigate the absolute copyright chain of every chapter uploaded by creators to FangWriters.
Upon receipt of valid legal notices, we act immediately to review, isolate, or restrict access to the disputed material in complete compliance with federal safe harbor regulations. FANG reserves the right to temporarily disable access to or demonetize content at its sole discretion while an active copyright audit is ongoing.
Platform uploaders bear 100% responsibility for ensuring that any AI-assisted or AI-generated text, artwork, or cover designs uploaded to the platform do not infringe upon the copyrights, trademarks, or publicity rights of third parties. The utilization of generative software tools does not transfer or remove liability from the uploader.
FANG reserves the absolute right to remove AI-generated stories that trigger our automated content matching or user-reporting systems. Furthermore, unedited AI-generated text content does not guarantee corporate contract eligibility, bonus allocations, or custom platform marketing promotions.
If you are logging an intellectual property complaint on behalf of an international publishing house, foreign literary agency, or corporate group, FANG may request official proof of legal authorization, corporate business registries, or localization power-of-attorney documentation. Any supporting records submitted in languages other than English must be accompanied by certified English translations to be evaluated.
