Charming Bulgaria, operated by Kreative Star LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects visitors, contributors, and third parties to do the same.

This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy explains how we address copyright infringement claims involving content published on or accessible through our website.

We are committed to protecting original creative work while responding appropriately to legitimate copyright concerns.

Copyright and Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, original content created for CharmingBulgaria.com, including articles, travel guides, written descriptions, graphics, website design elements, and original photography, is owned by Kreative Star LLC or used with appropriate permission.

Our website focuses on sharing information about Bulgaria’s historic villages, cultural traditions, mountain destinations, local attractions, and travel experiences.

We may also use properly licensed photographs, illustrations, embedded content, or other materials provided by third parties.

Ownership of third-party materials remains with their respective copyright holders.

Visitors may share links to our articles for personal, educational, or informational purposes. However, copying, republishing, distributing, or commercially exploiting substantial portions of our original content without authorization may violate applicable copyright laws.

Our Response to Copyright Complaints

When we receive a sufficiently detailed copyright infringement complaint, we may review the disputed material and take appropriate action.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Investigating the reported content and its source
Requesting additional information from the complainant
Removing or disabling access to allegedly infringing material
Contacting the contributor or party responsible for the content
Taking other measures consistent with applicable copyright law

We reserve the right to remove or restrict access to content when we reasonably believe that doing so is appropriate.

Submitting a complaint does not automatically guarantee removal. Each report will be considered based on the information available and applicable legal requirements.

Counter-Notification Procedure

If material you submitted to CharmingBulgaria.com has been removed or disabled following a copyright complaint, and you believe the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification, you may be eligible to submit a counter-notification.

A valid DMCA counter-notification generally must include:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, and telephone number, together with a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States Federal District Court and accepting service of process from the original complainant or their agent.

Counter-notifications should be submitted to the designated copyright agent.

Where applicable, we may forward a valid counter-notification to the original complainant and follow the procedures and timelines established by the DMCA.

Repeat Copyright Infringement

CharmingBulgaria.com respects the rights of copyright owners and does not knowingly encourage repeated infringement.

Where applicable, we may terminate or restrict access for contributors or users who repeatedly violate copyright laws.

We may also remove content submitted by individuals or organizations that repeatedly disregard intellectual property rights.

Third-Party Content and External Links

Our travel guides may contain links to external websites, tourism organizations, accommodation providers, museums, restaurants, or other travel-related resources.

These websites operate independently and may have their own copyright policies.

Kreative Star LLC does not control the content published on third-party websites and is not responsible for administering copyright complaints concerning material hosted by those websites.

If you believe that content on an external website infringes your copyright, we recommend contacting the operator or hosting provider of that website directly.

Use of Charming Bulgaria Content

We welcome readers who wish to share and promote Bulgaria’s beautiful destinations.

You are generally welcome to share links to our travel guides through social media, blogs, and other online platforms.

However, unless otherwise authorized or permitted by law, you may not:

Republish complete articles or substantial portions of our travel guides without permission.
Copy or distribute original photographs, illustrations, or graphics owned by CharmingBulgaria.com without authorization.
Reproduce our website content for commercial purposes without permission.
Present our original work as your own.

If you would like to request permission to use our original content, please contact us with details about your intended use.

Misrepresentation and False Copyright Claims

Copyright complaints should be submitted only when there is a legitimate basis for believing that infringement has occurred.

Knowingly making material misrepresentations in a DMCA notification or counter-notification may result in legal liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

We encourage copyright owners and contributors to provide accurate, complete information when submitting requests.
