Protecting intellectual property rights in our gaming entertainment platform
Our Commitment to Copyright Protection

This policy outlines how we handle copyright infringement claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe your copyrighted work has been used inappropriately on our platform, we're here to help resolve the matter quickly and fairly.
Important: PathForgea Pro is an entertainment-only social casino platform. No real money gambling occurs on our site. All games are for entertainment purposes and restricted to users 18 years and older.

Required Information for Valid Notice
Your Contact Details: Include your full name, mailing address, phone number, and email address so we can reach you about your request.
Identify Your Work: Clearly describe the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If it's multiple works, provide a comprehensive list.
Location of Infringing Material: Provide specific URLs or detailed descriptions of where the allegedly infringing content appears on our platform.
Good Faith Statement: Include a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, agent, or law.
Accuracy Statement: State that the information in your notice is accurate and that you're authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please Note:
Filing a false DMCA notice can result in legal consequences. Make sure you have a valid copyright claim before submitting your request. We recommend consulting with legal counsel if you're unsure about your rights.
Counter-Notification Process
If your content was removed due to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was incorrect, you have the right to file a counter-notification. This process exists to protect against false or mistaken takedown requests.
Counter-Notice Requirements
Your counter-notification must include:
- Your complete contact information (name, address, phone, email)
- Identification of the removed content and its previous location
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the content was removed by mistake
- Your consent to jurisdiction in your local federal district court
- Your physical or electronic signature
Once we receive a valid counter-notification, we'll forward it to the original complainant. If they don't file a court action within 10-14 business days, we may restore the removed content.
Timeline: We typically process DMCA requests within 24-48 hours during business days. Complex cases may take longer, but we'll keep you updated throughout the process.
Our Response Process
When we receive a valid DMCA notice, here's what happens next. We've streamlined this process to be fair to both copyright holders and our gaming community members.
Immediate Actions
Upon receiving a complete DMCA notice, we will:
- Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content
- Notify the user who posted the content about the removal
- Provide information about the counter-notification process
- Document the incident in our compliance records
Repeat Offenders Policy
We take repeated copyright violations seriously. Users who receive multiple valid DMCA notices may face account restrictions or permanent suspension from our social gaming platform. This helps us maintain a respectful community environment where everyone's rights are protected.
However, we also consider counter-notifications and false claims in our evaluation process. We don't want to penalize users for legitimate content or mistaken takedown requests.
Community Guidelines
Remember that PathForgea Pro is designed for entertainment and social interaction. When sharing content in our gaming community, always ensure you have the right to use any images, sounds, or other materials. When in doubt, stick to original content or clearly licensed materials.
