DMCA Policy
Website: www.gamenply.com
Effective Date: [Insert Effective Date]
GamenPly.com ("we", "us", or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our website to do the same. This DMCA Policy describes how to submit a copyright infringement notification to us and how we will respond.
1. How to Submit a DMCA Notice
If you believe in good faith that content accessible on or from www.gamenply.com infringes your copyright, you may send a DMCA Notice to our designated agent. Your notice MUST include the following:
- Your full legal name, physical mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed (and, if available, a copy or catalog reference).
- A description of where the infringing material is located on the site — include the exact URL(s) of the allegedly infringing material.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the 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 notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
- Your electronic or physical signature (typed full name is acceptable for emailed notices).
Email (preferred): admin@gamenply.com
2. What We Will Do
Upon receipt of a proper DMCA Notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. We will also notify the user who posted the material that we have removed or disabled access to it, and we may terminate accounts of repeat infringers when appropriate.
3. Counter-Notification
If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to our DMCA agent. The counter-notification must include:
- Your name, address, and telephone number, plus email address.
- A description of the material that was removed and its former location on the site.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in the district where your address is located (or, if outside the US, to an appropriate judicial authority) and that you will accept service of process from the complaining party.
- Your electronic or physical signature (typed full name is acceptable for emailed notices).
Once we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material in accordance with the DMCA (for example, typically after 10–14 business days, unless the complaining party files a lawsuit seeking a court order to keep the material offline).
4. Repeat Infringers
We reserve the right to terminate, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers.
5. Copyright Policy Scope
This policy applies to content hosted on or accessible through www.gamenply.com. It does not affect rights or remedies available under other laws. We may update this policy from time to time; any changes will be posted on this page with an updated Effective Date.
