Copyright & DMCA Policy

Last updated: October 2025

This Copyright & DMCA Policy (“Policy”) describes how SOVABOO DIGITAL OÜ (“the Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”)
handles intellectual property rights and responds to reports of copyright infringement on the
multilingual literary and publishing platform sovaboo.com (“the Sovaboo Platform”, “the Website”).

The Company respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all users and authors to do the same.

1. Intellectual Property on the Sovaboo Platform

  1. All original literary works, blog posts, comments, designs, and other materials published by users or authors remain the property of their respective creators.
  2. By submitting or publishing content on the Sovaboo Platform, the author grants the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute the material for the purpose of operating the Platform.
  3. This license does not transfer copyright ownership.
  4. The Company does not claim ownership of user-generated or author content unless explicitly stated in a separate written agreement.

2. Prohibited Use of Copyrighted Materials

Users and authors must not:

  • upload, publish, or distribute any material that infringes the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of others;
  • copy or redistribute content from other authors or external sources without permission;
  • use the Platform to facilitate or promote piracy, plagiarism, or unlawful copying of works.

Violations of intellectual property rights may lead to removal of the infringing content, suspension of the user’s account, or permanent termination.

3. Reporting Copyright Infringement (DMCA Notice)

If you believe that your copyrighted material has been published on the Sovaboo Platform without your authorization,
please send a written notice containing the following information:

  1. Your full name and contact details (email address, mailing address, and phone number);
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed;
  3. A direct URL or clear description of the material in question on the Platform;
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the content is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  5. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
  6. Your electronic or physical signature.

Please send your notice to:

Email: [email protected]

Upon receipt of a valid notice, the Company will:

  • promptly review the claim,
  • remove or restrict access to the allegedly infringing content, and
  • notify the author or uploader who posted the material.

4. Counter-Notification

If you are an author or user who believes that your work was removed by mistake or misidentification,
you may submit a counter-notification including:

  1. Your name, address, and contact information;
  2. Identification of the removed material and its previous location on the Platform;
  3. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed in error;
  4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of Tallinn, Estonia, and agree to accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice;
  5. Your electronic or physical signature.

Send the counter-notification to the same contact email:

If a valid counter-notification is received, the Company may restore the content unless the original complainant initiates legal action within the required timeframe.

5. Repeat Infringements

Users or authors who repeatedly violate this Policy or submit infringing materials may have their accounts:

  • temporarily suspended,
  • restricted from publishing new content, or
  • permanently terminated.

The Company reserves the right to determine, at its discretion, what constitutes a repeat infringement.
