DMCA Policy & Copyright Notices
Manytoon respects the intellectual property rights of creators, publishers, and rights holders worldwide. If you believe content on this site infringes your copyright, this page explains how to file a formal takedown request and what happens after we receive it.
Introduction
Manytoon (manytoon.pro) is an entertainment platform dedicated to manhwa, manga, and webtoon content. We take copyright protection seriously and have no interest in hosting material that infringes on the rights of legitimate copyright owners.
Whether you are an individual creator, a publisher, or a company that owns the rights to original artwork or story content, we want to hear from you if you believe your intellectual property has been used without authorization. We treat every copyright complaint with care and aim to respond to valid notices in a timely manner.
This DMCA Policy is designed to be clear and practical. We want rights holders to understand exactly what to include in a notice, what to expect after sending one, and what options are available to users who believe a removal was unjustified.
Copyright Policy
All content accessible through Manytoon belongs to its respective creators, publishers, and rights holders. Manytoon does not claim ownership of any manga, manhwa, or webtoon content displayed on this platform.
We expect all content accessible through our platform to respect the intellectual property rights of original creators. When we receive a valid copyright infringement notice, we act promptly to address it in accordance with applicable law.
Manytoon does not store or host manga or manhwa files on its own servers. All content is sourced from third-party providers. We nonetheless take copyright concerns seriously and respond to valid DMCA notices.
DMCA Compliance
Manytoon operates in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a United States federal law enacted in 1998. Among other things, the DMCA establishes a notice-and-takedown system that allows copyright owners to notify online service providers about infringing content and request its removal.
Under Section 512 of the DMCA, online service providers that respond expeditiously to valid copyright notices can qualify for a safe harbor that limits their liability for third-party content. Manytoon takes these requirements seriously and acts promptly when it receives properly submitted notices.
Although the DMCA is a U.S. law, we extend the same courtesy to copyright holders located outside the United States. If you are based elsewhere and believe your work appears on this site without permission, please use the process described below.
How to Submit a DMCA Notice
If you believe content on Manytoon infringes your copyright, here is the step-by-step process to follow:
Step 1 — Gather your copyright information
Confirm you own the rights to the work in question, or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder. Have the original work ready to reference.
Step 2 — Copy the affected URLs
Find the exact page URL(s) on manytoon.pro where the allegedly infringing content appears. Generic descriptions are not sufficient — we need specific URLs to act.
Step 3 — Write and send your notice
Compose a written notice including all required elements (listed in the next section) and send it to [email protected]. Email is the fastest method.
Step 4 — Review process
Our team reviews the notice to confirm it is complete and facially valid. If anything is missing, we may contact you to request the information before proceeding.
Step 5 — Resolution
If the notice is valid and complete, we take appropriate action — typically removing or disabling access to the identified content — and notify relevant parties as required.
Filing a Copyright Infringement Notice
If you are a copyright owner — or an agent authorized to act on behalf of one — and you believe that content accessible through Manytoon infringes your work, you may send us a written copyright infringement notice. To be valid under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following:
- ▸Identification of the copyrighted work. Clearly describe the work you own or represent. If multiple works are affected, list each with enough specificity for us to understand what is being claimed.
- ▸Location of the infringing material. Provide the exact URL(s) on Manytoon where the allegedly infringing content appears. Vague descriptions are not sufficient and will delay our response.
- ▸Your contact information. Include your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- ▸Good faith statement. A written statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- ▸Accuracy statement. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
- ▸Physical or electronic signature. Your signature as the copyright owner or authorized agent.
Notices missing any required elements may be considered deficient and may not trigger our takedown obligations. We may contact you for the missing information but are not obligated to do so.
Required Information Summary
For quick reference, a valid DMCA copyright notice sent to Manytoon must include:
Copyrighted Work
Clear identification of the work you claim is infringed.
Infringing URLs
Exact page URLs on manytoon.pro where the content appears.
Your Contact Info
Full name, address, phone number, and email address.
Good Faith Statement
Statement that use is not authorized by you, your agent, or the law.
Accuracy Statement
Statement under penalty of perjury that information is accurate.
Signature
Physical or electronic signature of the rights holder or authorized agent.
Review & Removal Process
Once we receive a copyright infringement notice, our team reviews it to confirm it contains all required elements and that the claim appears to be made in good faith. We do not rubber-stamp every request — we make a genuine effort to confirm the notice is substantively complete before taking action.
What happens after we receive your notice
- ▸If the notice is complete and facially valid, we will take appropriate action — typically removing or disabling access to the identified content — as promptly as possible.
- ▸Where required, we may also notify the person responsible for the content about the removal.
- ▸If a notice appears to be incomplete, we will make reasonable efforts to contact you and request the missing elements.
Response Times
We review all valid, complete copyright infringement notices as promptly as possible. There is no guaranteed response time — the speed at which we can act depends on the volume of notices received and the completeness of each submission.
In practice, notices that include all required elements and clearly identify the infringing URLs are resolved significantly faster than incomplete submissions. If your notice is missing information, the review process will be delayed while we attempt to gather what is needed.
Sending a follow-up email for a notice already under review will not accelerate the process. If you have not received a response within a reasonable period and your notice was complete, you are welcome to send a single follow-up to [email protected].
Copyright Owner Resources
If you are a publisher, creator, studio, or rights management organization with ongoing copyright interests related to content on Manytoon, here is some practical guidance:
- ▸Individual creators. If you are the original artist or author and believe your work is being used without permission, you can submit a notice directly. You do not need legal representation to file a valid DMCA notice.
- ▸Publishers and studios. If you represent a publishing house or production company, your authorized agent can file on your behalf. Include documentation or a statement of authorization in your notice.
- ▸Rights management organizations. If you are filing on behalf of multiple rights holders or a catalog of works, please organize your notice clearly with separate URL lists for each work or rights holder.
- ▸Repeated infringement concerns. If you identify recurring infringement of your catalog, contact us at [email protected] to discuss a more systematic approach.
Counter-Notification Procedure
If you are responsible for content that was removed in response to a copyright infringement notice that you believe was filed in error or misidentified, you have the right to submit a counter-notification under the DMCA.
A counter-notification is a formal legal document. By submitting one, you are declaring under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Required elements of a counter-notification
- ▸Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- ▸Identification of the material that was removed and the URL 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.
- ▸Consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate Federal District Court.
- ▸Your physical or electronic signature.
Send your counter-notification to [email protected].
Repeat Infringer Policy
Manytoon maintains a policy of terminating or restricting access for users who are determined to be repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is generally someone who has had content removed from our platform on multiple occasions in response to valid copyright infringement notices.
If you are a legitimate user whose content was removed in error, a counter-notification is the proper remedy. Repeatedly submitting content subject to a valid takedown notice may itself be treated as evidence of repeat infringement.
Misrepresentation Warning
Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that material was removed by mistake — may be held liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
Do not file a copyright infringement notice unless you genuinely believe the content in question infringes your rights. Both the original notice and any counter-notification are submitted under penalty of perjury.
Third-Party Content Disclaimer
Manytoon is an aggregation and discovery platform. Some content accessible through our site may originate from third-party sources that we do not directly control or operate. While we make reasonable efforts to ensure content does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights, we cannot individually verify every piece of third-party content.
If you discover infringing content accessible through Manytoon, please notify us using the process described above. External links do not constitute an endorsement of the linked content.
