What Your Notice Must Include

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act requires every notice to contain the following statements and evidence. Missing elements will delay our ability to review your request.

1. Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the rights holder or an authorized representative.
2. Description of the work: A clear explanation of the original copyrighted work, including registration details or published URLs if available.
3. Location of the material: Exact URLs, screenshots, or navigation steps showing where the allegedly infringing content appears on softmoneygame.org.
4. Contact information: Your name, company (if applicable), mailing address, phone number, and a working email address.
5. Good-faith statement: A declaration that you genuinely believe the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. Accuracy statement: A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or legally authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

How We Process Valid Notices

Once we receive a complete notice, our legal and platform teams follow a structured review process tailored to SoftMoney Game’s publishing workflow.

• Verify the content is served from softmoneygame.org pages or game levels.
• Temporarily remove or limit access to the flagged assets while preserving audit logs.
• Notify the contributor or project lead and share the compliant counter-notice procedure.
• Retain correspondence within legal limits so future audits remain possible.

Counter-Notice Guidelines

If you are a SoftMoney Game creator whose content was removed and you believe the takedown is mistaken, you may submit a counter-notice with a detailed explanation, consent to jurisdiction in your local US federal district court, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed in error. We will restore qualifying content within the statutory timeframe unless the original complainant initiates legal action.

Misrepresentation Liability

Deliberately submitting false claims or counter-notices may expose you to liability for damages, including costs and attorney fees. Please verify ownership and authorization before contacting us.
