DMCA Policy

Last updated: 20 October 2026

We sell software, not content

DecaNime is a self-hosted content management system. We do not host, stream, index, or link to any anime, video, or other media. The software ships empty. Every installation is operated by the person who bought the licence, on their own server, under their own domain.

That means we cannot remove content from a site we do not control. This page explains what we can do, and how to reach the party who can.

If you believe a DecaNime installation infringes your rights

The operator of that installation is the party hosting the material, and the party legally responsible for it. Contact them first — they have the ability to remove content immediately, and most takedown requests are resolved that way.

If you cannot identify or reach the operator, you may send us a notice. We will forward it to the licensee associated with the domain, where we can identify them, and we will act against the licence as described below.

What a notice should contain

  • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed.
  • The exact URL(s) where the material appears, specific enough that we can locate it.
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act on their behalf.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Send notices to [email protected] with the subject line DMCA Notice.

What we do with a valid notice

  1. We confirm the domain is running a licensed DecaNime installation.
  2. We forward the notice to the licensee and require a response within 5 business days.
  3. If the licensee does not respond, or responds without a credible defence, we suspend the licence for that domain.
  4. We may decline to renew or supply future versions to a repeat infringer.

We are not the host and cannot delete files from a licensee's server. Suspending a licence removes their right to use the software; enforcement against the content itself is a matter for the operator, their hosting provider, or a court.

Counter-notice

If you are a licensee and believe a notice against you is mistaken, reply to our email within 5 business days with an explanation and any evidence of your right to the material. We will review it before acting.

Repeat infringement

We terminate licences of operators who are the subject of repeated valid notices. This is a condition of the licence, not a discretionary courtesy.

Our own content

The DecaNime name, the source code, this website, and its text are our property. If you believe they infringe your rights, use the same address above.
