1.We respect creators

Comics are somebody’s work, and we take that seriously. If you own the rights to any comic on StripScroll, whoever posted it, you can ask us to remove it. When we know who made a comic, we credit them and link to their original page.

This page explains how to ask for a removal, how to dispute one, and how to get credit corrected.

2.Asking us to remove a comic

Send an email to contact@stripscroll.com that includes:

  1. Your name, address, phone number and email address.
  2. What the work is that you own, with a link to the original if there is one.
  3. The StripScroll web address of each comic you want removed, so we can find it.
  4. A statement that you honestly believe the comic is being used without permission from you, your representative or the law.
  5. A statement that everything in your email is true, and that you are the owner or are allowed to act for the owner. You are making this statement knowing that lying about it can have legal consequences.
  6. Your name typed or signed at the end.

We accept requests from owners anywhere in the world. If something is missing, we may need to ask you for it before we can act.

Please be sure before you send a request. Knowingly making a false claim can make you responsible for the costs and harm it causes.

3.What we do next

  • We look at your request and, if it is complete, we remove the comic or block access to it promptly.
  • If a member posted it, we tell them it was removed and why, and we may pass on a copy of your request, including your contact details.
  • We keep a record of the requests we receive.

4.If your comic was removed by mistake

If you posted a comic that was removed and you believe that was a mistake, or you have permission to post it, you can dispute the removal by emailing contact@stripscroll.com. Please include:

  1. Your name, address, phone number and email address.
  2. The link to the comic that was removed.
  3. A statement that you honestly believe it was removed by mistake or because it was wrongly identified. You are making this statement knowing that lying about it can have legal consequences.
  4. A statement that you agree a court where you live can decide the dispute or, if you live outside the United States, a court in the place where the person who made the original request can be found. You must also agree to accept legal papers from that person.
  5. Your name typed or signed at the end.

We will pass your dispute on to the person who asked for the removal. If they do not tell us within 10 working days that they have started legal action, we may put the comic back.

5.Members who keep copying

Accounts that keep posting work they do not have the right to share are suspended or banned.

6.Wrong credit or a different name

If you made a comic and the name, handle or link shown on it is wrong, or you would like it to say something else, write to the same address and tell us what it should say. We will fix it or take the comic down, whichever you prefer.

7.Other complaints

For complaints about brand names, privacy or someone’s image, or anything else that is not copyright, write to contact@stripscroll.com. For rule breaking such as bullying or adult work that is rated wrongly, see the Community Guidelines.
