DMCA Policy

1. Introduction

OnlineGameVerse respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. This Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") Policy explains how we handle copyright infringement claims and how to submit a DMCA takedown notice.

We comply with the DMCA and other applicable copyright laws and will respond to valid DMCA notices by removing or disabling access to allegedly infringing content.

2. Reporting Copyright Infringement

3. How to Submit a DMCA Notice

Please send your DMCA notice to our designated agent:

You may also send a physical notice to our registered address, but email is preferred for faster processing.

4. Our Response to DMCA Notices

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we will:

• Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content
• Notify the user who posted the content about the takedown
• Provide the user with a copy of the DMCA notice
• Inform the user of their right to submit a counter-notice
• Maintain records of all DMCA notices and actions taken

5. Counter-Notice Process

If you believe that your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice. Your counter-notice must include:

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will:

• Forward the counter-notice to the original complainant
• Restore the content within 10-14 business days unless the complainant files a court action
• Notify both parties of our actions

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

OnlineGameVerse has a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are repeat infringers. We maintain records of DMCA notices and may terminate accounts that receive multiple valid DMCA notices.

Factors we consider when determining whether to terminate an account include:

• Number of DMCA notices received
• Severity of the infringement
• User's response to previous notices
• Whether the user has a history of copyright violations

7. Third-Party Content

OnlineGameVerse may host content provided by third parties, including game developers and publishers. We respect the intellectual property rights of all content creators and will respond promptly to valid DMCA notices.

If you are a content creator and believe your work has been used without permission, please follow the DMCA notice process outlined above.

8. Fair Use Considerations

We recognize that some uses of copyrighted material may constitute fair use under copyright law. When evaluating DMCA notices, we consider factors such as:

• The purpose and character of the use
• The nature of the copyrighted work
• The amount and substantiality of the portion used
• The effect on the potential market for the original work

9. International Copyright Laws

While this policy is based on U.S. copyright law (DMCA), we respect international copyright laws and will respond to valid copyright infringement claims from any jurisdiction.

For international copyright claims, please provide similar information as required for DMCA notices, including proof of copyright ownership and identification of the infringing material.
