Introduction
OWL GAMES respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. We respond to valid notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and will remove or disable access to content that infringes copyright when we receive a proper takedown notice.
Our Policy
We do not permit copyright-infringing activities on our website. If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that content on OWL GAMES infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. We may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and take other steps as required by the DMCA.
Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice
To submit a valid DMCA takedown notice, your communication must include the following (see 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):
- Your physical or electronic signature as the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works).
- Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate it (e.g., the specific URL(s) on OWL GAMES where the material appears).
- Your contact information (address, telephone number, and email).
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Send your DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent at the contact information below. Notices that do not substantially comply with the above may not receive a response. Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material is infringing.
Counter-Notification
If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to our designated agent. A valid counter-notification must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location (URL) where it appeared before it was removed or disabled.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or if outside the U.S., any judicial district in which we may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or their agent.
If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may forward it to the party who submitted the original takedown notice. If that party does not file a court action seeking a court order against you within a period required by law, we may restore the removed or disabled content. Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be liable for damages if you knowingly materially misrepresent that the material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification.
Repeat Infringers
In appropriate circumstances, we will terminate the accounts or access of users who are repeat infringers. We also reserve the right to remove content and take other action as we deem necessary to comply with the DMCA and protect the rights of copyright owners.
