By uploading, posting, or sharing content on Nihoner.com, you:

  • Represent and warrant that you own or have valid rights to the content,
  • Confirm that your use does not infringe on copyright, trademark, patent, or other intellectual property rights,
  • Agree to indemnify Nihoner.com against all claims, damages, or liabilities arising from your content,
  • Accept that you are fully liable for any infringement.

Nihoner does not pre-screen all content. Users are solely responsible for their contributions.

2. Our Liability & Safe Harbor Protection

Nihoner.com is an educational and hosting platform. We are not responsible for user-generated content.

We claim safe harbor protections under:

  • DMCA Section 512 (U.S.),

  • Directive (EU) 2019/790 (Copyright Directive, Article 17),
  • EU Digital Services Act (DSA, 2022/2065),
  • and equivalent provisions in other jurisdictions.

We act expeditiously to remove or disable access to infringing content upon valid notice.

3. How to File a Copyright Complaint

If you believe your rights are infringed, submit a written notice including:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work.
  2. Identification of the infringing material (specific URL on Nihoner.com).
  3. Your full legal name, postal address, telephone, and email.
  4. A statement of good faith belief that the use is not authorized.
  5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are authorized.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

📧 Notices should be sent to: [email protected]
📍 Or via our Contact Form

If you are U.S.-based, you may also direct notices to our Designated DMCA Agent as required under 17 U.S.C. §512.

4. Removal of Content

  • Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will remove or disable the material.
  • We may notify the user who uploaded it.
  • We reserve the right to remove content without prior notice if we suspect infringement.
  • We reserve the right to refuse restoration even if a counter-notice is submitted.

5. Counter-Notice (U.S. & International Equivalent)

If you believe content was wrongly removed, you may submit a counter-notice including:

  • Your name, address, signature,
  • Identification of the removed content and its prior location,
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the removal was due to error or misidentification,
  • Consent to jurisdiction of the courts in Warsaw, Poland, and (if applicable) the U.S. Federal Court for your district.

Filing a counter-notice means you accept full legal responsibility if your statement is false.

6. Repeat Infringers

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for repeat infringers.

  • Users with multiple valid complaints may be permanently banned.
  • Accounts terminated for infringement are not eligible for refunds.
  • We may block associated IP addresses, payment methods, or emails.

7. Technical Measures
