This page explains how I, Cody Allen, address claims of copyright infringement connected to gamelabacademy.com (the “Website”). I respect the rights of all creators and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). If you have good reason to believe that any content on the Website violates your copyrights, please follow the steps below to file a notice. I will look into all submissions in good faith and respond as promptly as possible.
1. General Statement
I strive to publish or share only material that is permitted under applicable copyright laws. If you notice any material on gamelabacademy.com that you believe violates your work, send me a proper DMCA Notice as detailed in this policy. Failure to follow these instructions may delay or prevent me from processing your complaint. I appreciate your understanding as I do my best to keep the Website free from unauthorized content.
2. Designated Agent
You can send your DMCA Notice to my designated agent (myself) at the following address:
Cody Allen
Address: 1042 Oak Circle, Glendale, CA 91201
Phone: (555) 237-9412
Email: [email protected]
If you call me, please also follow up in writing. I can process official notices more accurately when they arrive in email or physical mail form.
3. Filing a DMCA Notice
For your claim to be valid under the DMCA, you must provide the following information in writing (preferably via email or physical mail):
- Identification of the work you claim is infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are involved, list each one or provide a representative collection of such works.
- Identification of the material that you believe is infringing or is the subject of infringing activity. Include enough detail for me to locate it on the Website (such as the specific URL or a direct link to the post or page).
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement declaring that the information in your notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright owner (or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf).
- Your contact information so I can reach out: a mailing address, telephone number, and an email address are recommended.
- An electronic or physical signature of the copyright owner or someone authorized to act on their behalf.
Please be sure your notice has all these details. If any of them are missing, it can slow down the process.
4. Review and Removal
- Once I receive a valid DMCA Notice, I will look at the claim in good faith.
- If I believe the claim is valid, I will act by removing or disabling access to the disputed content.
- After taking these steps, I will try to contact the person who posted the content (if possible) and provide them with a copy of the notice.
I try to resolve matters fairly, but I have the right to remove any material suspected of infringement without prior notice. I may also block repeat offenders from posting content in the future.
5. Counter-Notification
If I remove or disable content in response to a DMCA Notice, the affected user may issue a Counter-Notification if they believe that the content was taken down in error or that they have the right to post it. A valid Counter-Notification must contain the following details:
- Identification of the removed content and where it appeared before being removed.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the user has a good-faith belief that the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- The user’s contact information, including name, mailing address, phone number, and email address.
- A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district where the user’s address is located, or if the user is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which gamelabacademy.com may be found.
- An electronic or physical signature of the user or someone authorized to act on their behalf.
Send Counter-Notifications to the address listed above. If I receive a valid Counter-Notification, I will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a legal action within the required period, I may restore the removed content.
6. Repeat Infringers
In line with the DMCA and general copyright policy, I may terminate user access for those found to engage in repeated infringement. This can involve banning IP addresses, removing user accounts (if such exist on the site), or taking other appropriate measures.
7. Accuracy and Good Faith
Filing a false DMCA Notice or Counter-Notification can have legal consequences. Claims made in bad faith could result in legal or financial penalties. If you are unsure about your rights or whether the materials in question violate your copyrights, you may want to seek legal advice. I am not a legal advisor and cannot provide counsel on your situation.
8. Updates to This Policy
I may update this policy in response to changes in the law or the Website. If I make any significant revisions, I will post the new policy on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of gamelabacademy.com after an update indicates your acceptance of any changed terms.
