1. Commitment to Creative Ownership and Legal Compliance

At the Kingdoms Forsaken fan platform, we recognize and deeply respect the intellectual property rights of creators, authors, designers, and all individuals whose work contributes to the richness of the digital and creative landscape. In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and applicable international copyright laws, we maintain a clear, formal procedure for handling claims of alleged infringement.

This platform operates as a community-driven space intended for non-commercial, educational, and illustrative purposes related to the Kingdoms Forsaken universe. However, we take all reports of copyright violation seriously. If you believe that your protected content has been used, displayed, reproduced, or distributed on this site without authorization, you may file a formal DMCA complaint as outlined below.

Please note that misuse of the DMCA process, including the submission of false or misleading claims, may lead to legal liability under applicable laws in your jurisdiction. We encourage all parties to resolve disputes in good faith before pursuing formal action.

2. Information Required in a Valid DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are the lawful copyright owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the owner, and you wish to request the removal of infringing material from our platform, your written DMCA notice must include all of the following elements:

• A clear and specific description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, including titles, registration numbers, or direct evidence of authorship.
• The exact URL(s) or precise location(s) on our website where the allegedly infringing content appears, sufficient for us to locate the material quickly.
• Your full legal name, company or organization (if applicable), mailing address, telephone number, and an active email address where you can be reached.
• A statement declaring that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
