          <jats:p>In this paper, we consider the nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation with a fidelity term and singular nonlinearities, which has numerous applications in biology and image inpainting. First, we prove the existence of a unique solution. We approximate the singular nonlinearities by regular nonlinearities, from which we derive important priori-estimates for the solution of the approximating problem. We then establish the existence of a solution to the approximating problem using the Faedo-Galerkin method. Additionally, we demonstrate that the solution of the Cahn-Hilliard equation in question is of higher regular by applying Sobolev embedding theorems. Finally, we discuss the important separation property of the solution that allows us to obtain a global (in time) unique solution of the problem.</jats:p>
