Copyright & DMCA Policy
Scrollan respects intellectual-property rights and expects the same of its readers. This page covers both directions: how you may use our content, and how rights holders can reach us about theirs.
1. Our content
Original Scrollan articles, headlines, translations and design are © Scrollan. You may quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link. Republishing full articles, commercially redistributing our content, or systematically copying the site requires our prior written permission (legal@scrollan.app). Search and AI indexing consistent with our robots.txt and llms.txt is welcome.
2. Third-party rights in our reporting
Scrollan articles are original re-reportings of news events. Facts and ideas are not protected by copyright; expression is — which is why we write every article in our own words and always cite and link the original source. Images are either owned or licensed by us, in the public domain, from free-license libraries, or used from the cited source with a visible credit.
3. Fast-track takedown — for any rights holder
If you believe any content on scrollan.app infringes your rights, you do not need a formal DMCA notice to reach us. Email legal@scrollan.app with the article URL and a description of the material. Verified complaints from the affected rights holder are typically resolved — by removal or replacement — within 24 hours.
4. Formal DMCA notice
Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, formal notices of claimed infringement should be sent to our designated agent:
Copyright Agent, Scrollan
Email: legal@scrollan.app (subject line: "DMCA Notice")
Your notice must include, per § 512(c)(3):
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and its URL on scrollan.app;
- Your contact information (name, address, telephone, email);
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.
Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly materially misrepresenting that material is infringing may expose you to liability.
5. Counter-notice
If your material was removed and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address containing: your signature; identification of the removed material and its former URL; a statement under penalty of perjury of your good-faith belief that removal was erroneous; your name, address and telephone number; and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Scrollan may be found), and that you will accept service from the complainant. We may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the complainant files a court action.
6. Repeat infringers
Where applicable, we terminate access for repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
7. Publisher opt-out
News publishers who prefer that Scrollan not cover their reporting at all may email legal@scrollan.app from a domain address; we will exclude the outlet from future coverage and review existing articles on request.
