Disclaimer
We care about creators' rights and about keeping our readers safe. This page explains the copyright status of everything on WattPades, how we handle takedown requests, our independence from other brands, and the standard limits of our free service.
⚖️ 1. Copyright & Original Content
All novels, chapter text, synopses, artwork and editorial copy featured on WattPades are original works created for this library, or are published with the explicit permission of their rights-holders. The stories you read here — characters, plots, settings and dialogue — are entirely fictional, and any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, or to real events, is purely coincidental.
WattPades is a reading showcase, not a repository of third-party uploads. We do not operate a file-sharing or user-publishing service for unlicensed text, and we actively screen everything we publish against our Content Policy. If you are an author or publisher and would like your work featured or removed, just write to us.
🛡 2. Copyright Infringement & DMCA Takedowns
We take copyright seriously and respond quickly to valid takedown requests. If you are a rights-holder (or are authorised to act for one) and believe that any content on WattPades infringes your copyright, please contact:
Email: [email protected]
Please include: (a) identification of the copyrighted work; (b) the exact URL(s) of the allegedly infringing material; (c) your contact details; and (d) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner.
Upon receiving a complete notice we will review it promptly, remove or disable access to the identified material in good faith, and notify the relevant party. We also accommodate repeat-infringer policies where required and may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate accounts of repeat infringers once account features exist.
🏷 3. Trademarks & Non-Affiliation
WattPades is an independent service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected in any way to Wattpad, Wattpad Webtoon Studios, or any other storytelling platform, publisher, or brand.
"Wattpad" and any other product or company names, logos or trademarks mentioned on this site belong to their respective owners and are referenced only descriptively (for example, to explain what WattPades is not). Reference to any product or service does not imply endorsement. The WattPades name, logo, and original content are our own and may not be used without permission.
If you arrived here believing this site is operated by another company, we invite you to read the About Us page to see exactly who we are.
📖 4. Content & Reading Disclaimer
Stories on WattPades are works of entertainment. Nothing on this site constitutes professional, medical, legal, financial or relationship advice, and you should not act based on fiction. Heat levels are intentionally kept sweet-to-moderate per our Content Policy; if a story ever crosses that line it is a mistake, and we will fix or remove it as soon as you tell us via [email protected].
🔗 5. External Links
Our pages may link to third-party websites (such as font providers) for your convenience. We do not control those sites, are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, and a link does not imply our endorsement. Visiting external sites is at your own risk — please review their own terms and policies.
🔁 6. Availability & Errors
We work hard to keep WattPades accurate and available, but we make no guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular title or chapter will remain available. We may correct, update or remove content at any time without notice. The service is provided "as is" and "as available", with no warranties of any kind — see Section 7 of the Terms of Service.
💎 7. Affiliate Disclosure
WattPades does not currently participate in affiliate or advertising programmes, and we do not accept payment to feature, rank or remove stories. If that ever changes, we will disclose it clearly and update this page and our Privacy Policy.
