DMCA Copyright Policy
Effective Date: January 2025
We respect intellectual property rights and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA). This policy outlines procedures for reporting alleged copyright infringement and our response protocols.
1. Copyright Infringement Notification
If you believe content on this website infringes your copyright, submit a written notice containing all elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):
Required Elements
- Signature: Physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or person authorized to act on their behalf
- Work Identification: Description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are involved
- Infringing Material Location: Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with sufficient detail to enable us to locate it (URLs, specific page references, timestamps)
- Contact Information: Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
- Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
- Accuracy Declaration: A statement under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
Submission Requirements
Notices must be submitted in writing to our designated copyright agent via the contact page. Incomplete notices may not receive responses. We reserve the right to request additional information before processing claims.
2. Counter-Notification Procedures
If you believe material was removed or disabled due to mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):
Counter-Notice Requirements
- Signature: Your physical or electronic signature
- Material Identification: Description of the removed or disabled material and its prior location
- Good Faith Statement: A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled due to mistake or misidentification
- Consent to Jurisdiction: Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for your judicial district (or the district where the website operator is located if outside the United States)
- Service Acceptance: A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original infringement notification or their agent
Counter-Notice Processing
Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action seeking an injunction within 10-14 business days, we may restore the removed material at our discretion.
3. Repeat Infringer Policy
We maintain a policy of terminating access for users who repeatedly infringe copyright. Accounts or access privileges may be suspended or permanently revoked following multiple substantiated infringement claims.
4. Misrepresentation Liability
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake, may be liable for damages including costs and attorney fees. Consider legal consultation before submitting notices or counter-notices.
5. Third-Party Content Disclaimer
This website may host or link to content provided by third parties. We do not claim ownership of embedded games, videos, or external resources. Content remains the property of original creators and is subject to their respective copyright protections.
We act as a platform facilitating access to publicly available content. Inclusion does not constitute endorsement or assertion of ownership rights.
6. Response Timeline
We endeavor to process valid DMCA notices promptly, typically within 2-5 business days. Complex cases requiring investigation may take longer. We will communicate status updates when appropriate.
7. Designated Copyright Agent
All DMCA notices and counter-notifications must be directed to our designated copyright agent through the contact page. Notices sent to other addresses or personnel may experience processing delays.
8. International Considerations
While the DMCA is United States legislation, we respect intellectual property rights globally. Copyright holders from other jurisdictions may submit notices following similar procedures, though enforcement may vary based on applicable international treaties and local laws.
9. Limitations and Disclaimers
We cannot provide legal advice regarding copyright matters. This policy does not constitute legal counsel. Parties uncertain about their rights or obligations should consult qualified attorneys before taking action.
We reserve the right to modify this policy to reflect legal changes or operational requirements. Material updates will be communicated through website notices.
