DMCA & Copyright Policy

1. Our role as a technical service

BilingualText is an automated, user-directed technical processing service. It does not operate a public book catalog, publish user-uploaded books, or authorize users to distribute copyrighted works. Source and output EPUB files are stored temporarily for the requesting user's processing and download workflow.

We seek to operate in a manner consistent with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) safe-harbor framework where it applies. Eligibility for any statutory safe harbor is determined by applicable law and depends on meeting its requirements, including properly identifying and registering a designated agent when required.

2. User responsibility and repeat infringement

Users must upload and process only files for which they hold the required rights, permission, or lawful basis. BilingualText prohibits use of the Service to make, translate, or distribute unauthorized copies of copyrighted works.

Where appropriate, we may suspend or terminate accounts of repeat infringers and users who repeatedly violate our Terms or this Policy. We may also remove or disable access to relevant files and preserve limited records needed to address a complaint, protect rights, or comply with law.

3. Where to send a copyright notice

If you believe that material processed through BilingualText infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our copyright contact. Email is the fastest channel:

dmphuong078@gmail.com. Please use the subject line “DMCA Copyright Notice.”

This contact channel does not itself guarantee safe-harbor eligibility. A service provider seeking the DMCA's designated-agent protections should also register and keep its agent information current in the U.S. Copyright Office's DMCA Designated Agent Directory.

4. What a valid notice should include

To help us evaluate a claim under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice should identify the claimant, the protected work, and the material at issue.

• your physical or electronic signature, or that of a person authorized to act for the copyright owner;
• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• a precise identification of the material or job at issue and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, such as the account email, filename, job ID, URL, and dates;
• your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.

5. Review and response

After receiving a sufficiently complete notice, we may investigate and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the identified material, pause the associated job, notify the affected user, and take other action consistent with law and our Terms.

Files are stored temporarily and may already have been deleted by the time we review a notice. We will make reasonable efforts to assess the information available, but we cannot guarantee recovery of files that are no longer in our systems.

6. Counter-notice from an affected user

If your material was removed or access was disabled and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notice to the same email address. A counter-notice should include your physical or electronic signature; identification of the material removed or disabled and where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the action was a mistake or misidentification; your name, address, and telephone number; and your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate U.S. federal court and acceptance of service of process from the complaining party or its agent.

We may forward a counter-notice to the original claimant and may restore access only when appropriate under applicable law. This process does not prevent either party from seeking legal relief.

7. Misrepresentation, changes, and contact

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a copyright notice or counter-notice may create liability under applicable law. Please provide only accurate, complete information.

We may update this Policy to reflect legal, operational, or service changes. Questions about this Policy or a copyright complaint can be sent to the copyright contact listed above.
