Copyright Policy
Last Updated: May 24, 2025
This page is addressed to copyright owners and their authorized representatives, outlining our adherence to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Section 512, US laws, and equivalent international legislation. We are committed to fully upholding and respecting copyright law and will seriously address all valid infringement claims.
Copyrighted Content
We do not condone the republishing or reprinting of lyrics for purposes other than personal or educational use. If your content is used on this website and does not fall under **fair use**, we sincerely regret any infringement and will promptly respond to take-down requests.
The song lyrics in our catalog are submitted by members and reviewed by our editors before publication. We agree to license artistic work where capable and required. Otherwise, we will remove infringing content from our site upon a valid claim.
ZionLyrics does not intend to violate artists' copyright measures; we have both a spiritual and moral obligation to respect the law. On the contrary, we earnestly hope to work together to promote the Gospel music ministry.
