Submission of Claims

Copyright claims and removal requests should be submitted to:

legal@boneandbriarholdings.com

Submitting a claim does not guarantee automatic removal.

Bone & Briar Holdings reserves the right to investigate, verify, reject, or request additional information before taking action.

 

Counterclaims and Disputes

In certain situations, contributors, creators, or users accused of infringement may be permitted to respond to or dispute claims where appropriate.

Bone & Briar Holdings may:

• Request additional documentation
• Seek clarification from involved parties
• Temporarily remove disputed content during review
• Restore content where claims are found invalid or unsupported

We are not obligated to mediate private intellectual property disputes beyond reasonable operational review.

 

False or Fraudulent Claims

Submitting knowingly false, misleading, abusive, or fraudulent copyright claims is strictly prohibited.

False claims may result in:

• Rejection of requests
• Permanent communication restrictions
• Community bans
• Legal liability where applicable

Claimants are responsible for ensuring they possess the legal authority to submit removal requests.

 

Repeat Infringement Policy

Bone & Briar Holdings reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate accounts, contributor access, or community participation for users who repeatedly violate intellectual property rights.

This may include:

• Repeated piracy
• Unauthorized file sharing
• Re-uploading removed materials
• Commercial infringement
• Circumvention of copyright enforcement actions

 

Contributor Responsibility

Contributors submitting materials to Chaos Cross Stitch Magazine are solely responsible for ensuring they possess the necessary rights to their submitted content.

By submitting content, contributors represent that:

• Their submissions are original or properly licensed
• Their work does not knowingly infringe third-party rights
• They possess authority to grant publication permissions

Bone & Briar Holdings reserves the right to remove contributor materials if credible infringement concerns arise.

 

AI-Generated and Derivative Content

Chaos Cross Stitch Magazine does not knowingly accept:

• Directly copied artwork
• Unauthorized derivative chart conversions
• Infringing AI-generated recreations
• Unlicensed commercial reproductions

We reserve the right to reject or remove content that appears substantially derived from protected works without authorization.

 

Archive and Historical Content

Because Chaos Cross Stitch Magazine may maintain:

• Digital archives
• Printed reprints
• Historical issues
• Subscriber libraries
• Collector compilations

certain disputed content may appear in archived materials distributed after original publication.

Where necessary and appropriate, Bone & Briar Holdings may:

• Remove future access
• Restrict archive visibility
• Update digital editions
• Disable downloads
• Include corrections or notices

However, we cannot guarantee complete retroactive removal from all previously distributed materials.

Previously distributed physical or digital editions may continue to exist in customer libraries, archives, third-party retail systems, or print-on-demand distribution channels after publication.

 

No Waiver of Rights

Failure to immediately enforce intellectual property rights in one instance does not waive the right to enforce them later.

Bone & Briar Holdings reserves all rights relating to copyright protection, enforcement, removal procedures, and intellectual property defense.

 

Policy Updates

Bone & Briar Holdings reserves the right to update or modify this DMCA / Copyright Removal Request Policy at any time.

Updated versions become effective upon posting unless otherwise stated.

Continued use of the Services after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
