Copyright and DMCA Policy

1. Overview and Scope

Game Launcher Cloud respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same. This policy explains how to notify us of content that infringes your rights, what we do when we receive such a notice, how an affected user can respond, and when we terminate an account for repeat infringement.

It applies to everything hosted or distributed through the Service, including applications, builds, DLC, patches, launchers, launcher artwork, news items, and community presets.

2. Designated Agent

Copyright notices must be sent to our designated agent:

Notices sent to any other address, including support channels, our Discord community, or social media, may not reach the agent and are not treated as received until they do. Please use the address above.

3. Takedown Notice Requirements

To be effective, your notice must include the following:

• Your full legal name, address, and contact information
• A description of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
• The specific URL(s) or location(s) of the allegedly infringing content
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized
• A statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the rights holder or authorized to act
• Your physical or electronic signature

If your notice is incomplete we will tell you what is missing. An incomplete notice does not start the timelines in Section 4, but a notice that clearly identifies infringing material may still give us knowledge that requires us to act.

4. How We Handle a Notice

When we receive a notice that meets the requirements of Section 3:

• We acknowledge receipt to the sender at the contact details provided
• We expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material. Depending on what was reported, this may mean unlisting a build, disabling an application, blocking a download URL, or taking the affected launcher offline
• We notify the affected user, provide them with a copy of the notice including the sender's identity and contact details, and explain how to submit a counter-notice under Section 5
• We record the action against the account for the purposes of the repeat infringer policy in Section 7

Removing or disabling material in response to a notice is not a finding by us that infringement occurred, and is not an admission of any kind. We act on notices in good faith and without investigating the underlying dispute, which is a matter between the sender and the affected user.

Where the reported material is also the subject of an active subscription, an active build, or a published store submission, removal may interrupt the service the user's own players receive. That consequence does not delay our action, and we are not liable for it.

5. Counter-Notice Requirements

If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice including:

• Your full legal name, address, and contact information
• The specific content that was removed and its prior location
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was due to mistake or misidentification
• A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of your local federal district court (or the applicable jurisdiction if outside the U.S.)
• Your physical or electronic signature

6. How We Handle a Counter-Notice

When we receive a counter-notice that meets the requirements of Section 5:

• We promptly forward a copy of it, including your name and contact details, to the person who sent the original notice, and we tell them that we intend to restore the material
• We restore the removed material, or cease disabling access to it, not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days after forwarding the counter-notice
• We do not restore the material if, within that period, the original sender informs us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you from the activity concerned
• Where the material is restored, the corresponding record is removed from your account and does not count toward Section 7

7. Repeat Infringer Policy

We adopt and apply the following policy for the termination of repeat infringers. It is not discretionary.

7.1 What Counts as a Strike

A strike is recorded against an account each time:

• We remove or disable material belonging to that account following a notice meeting the requirements of Section 3, and the material is not restored under Section 6, or
• We remove or disable material because we became aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity was apparent, without any notice having been sent

A single notice covering several items belonging to the same account counts as one strike. Deleting the material yourself, closing the launcher, or cancelling the subscription after a notice arrives does not remove the strike.

7.2 Threshold for Termination

7.3 Notice to You and Records

• We notify you each time a strike is recorded, tell you how many you have, and explain the consequence of the next one
• We maintain an internal record of every notice received, every counter-notice, every strike, and every account action taken, and we retain it for at least three (3) years so the policy can be shown to have been applied
• You may ask us for the record relating to your own account at any time

7.4 Circumvention

A person whose account is terminated under this policy may not open a new account, and may not be added as a collaborator or team member on another account, without our prior written consent. Accounts opened to circumvent a termination are closed on discovery, and content moved to another account to avoid a strike carries the strike with it.

8. Notices Under Mexican Law

Article 114 Octies of the Mexican Federal Copyright Law, added by the reform published on 1 July 2020, sets out a notice and takedown procedure for online service providers and limits their liability for material stored or transmitted at the request of a user, provided the provider does not control, induce, or direct the infringing conduct and acts on notices it receives.

Rights holders may send us a notice under that Article at the address in Section 2, in Spanish or in English. We treat it under the same process described in Sections 3, 4, 5, and 6. Where the Article requires something the sections above do not, the requirement of the Article prevails for that notice.

Nothing in this policy waives any right or remedy available to us or to you under Mexican law, and nothing in it submits us to a jurisdiction other than the one set out in our Terms of Service.

9. Misrepresentations

Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that content is infringing or was removed by mistake may be subject to liability under applicable law, including for the damages and costs incurred by the other party and by us.

We may refuse to act on notices from a sender who has repeatedly made such misrepresentations, and we may require additional evidence of rights before acting on any further notice from them.
