DMCA Notice & Content Removal

JAV.CHAT is an index of Japanese Adult Video catalogue metadata. We do not host, stream, produce or upload video files. The Site publishes release codes, titles, performer and studio names, genres and promotional artwork supplied by studio catalogues and licensed affiliate feeds, together with links to third-party sites.

We nonetheless comply fully with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and with equivalent notice-and-takedown obligations in other jurisdictions. If material published on jav.chat infringes your copyright, or if you are depicted in content referenced here and want it removed, use the form below or write to dmca@jav.chat.

How we handle a notice

1. The notice is logged with a reference number and routed to our designated agent.

2. We review it within 48 hours of receipt, weekends included.

3. If the notice is valid, the identified material is removed or access to it is disabled, and the URL is added to a block list so automated feed imports cannot re-publish it.

4. The feed partner or distributor that supplied the material is notified. Partners that repeatedly supply infringing material are suspended, in line with our repeat-infringer policy.

5. You receive written confirmation of the action taken at the address you supplied.

What a valid DMCA notice must contain

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a notice must include: a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf; identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; identification of the material to be removed and information reasonably sufficient to locate it (the exact jav.chat URL); your contact details; a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

The form below collects each of these elements. Notices that omit a required element cannot be processed and will be returned for completion.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. Do not submit a notice unless you are the rights holder or are authorised to act for them.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed in error or as a result of misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to dmca@jav.chat. It must identify the removed material and its former location, state under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, and provide your name, address, telephone number and consent to the jurisdiction of a competent court.

Non-copyright removals

Select "Personal content removal" in the form if you appear in referenced content and did not consent to its publication, or "Prohibited content report" for any material you believe depicts a minor or is otherwise non-consensual. Reports of that kind are treated as urgent, and the material is disabled while we investigate. See our 18 U.S.C. § 2257 statement for the full prohibited-content policy.
