Content, Rights & Takedown Policy

1. Rights authors must hold

Authors remain responsible for obtaining the rights and permissions needed to publish, sell, distribute, and promote their text, cover art, images, audio, translations, excerpts, and metadata. This includes copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, and contractual rights. Listing a work does not transfer the author’s copyright to Ndotonic. When a platform-pool ISBN is used, Ndotonic is the publisher of record for that ISBN imprint; the author remains responsible for the content.

2. Limited platform license

Authors give Ndotonic the limited non-exclusive right to host, reproduce, display, market, sell, deliver, and technically process their listed work only as needed to operate the service and the formats the author enables.

3. Reporting a concern

To report alleged infringement, impersonation, privacy misuse, or an unlawful listing, contact Support with the URL or title, your contact information, the rights or policy concern, and enough detail for us to investigate. Copyright owners should also follow the formal process in our DMCA & Copyright Policy.

4. Review and takedown

We may remove, restrict, or pause a listing while reviewing a credible claim, legal request, or safety issue. We may ask the author and reporter for additional information. Nothing in this policy limits formal legal rights or procedures that apply in a particular jurisdiction.

These policies are a plain-language summary of how the service operates. They do not replace non-waivable rights under applicable law. Authors are additionally bound by the accepted Author Publishing Agreement and title-level listing terms.
