DMCA

This Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") Policy explains how we handle copyright infringement notices and related requests on this website (Hangmangame.io). We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users, partners and content providers to do the same.

1. Introduction

The DMCA is a United States law that provides a framework for copyright owners to request the removal of infringing material from online services. Even if you are not located in the United States, we use the DMCA process as a clear and structured way to handle copyright complaints and to balance the rights of content owners, users and the Site.

If you believe that any content available on or through the Site infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to us following the instructions below.

2. Our Role and General Policy

The Site hosts and/or links to online games and related content for entertainment and educational purposes. Some of this content may be created by third parties. While we try to ensure that content is used in a lawful manner, it is possible that material may appear on the Site that a copyright owner believes is not authorized.

Our Copyright Policy

  • We respond in good faith to properly formatted DMCA notices.
  • We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material in order to comply with the DMCA.
  • We may terminate or restrict access for repeat infringers where appropriate.
  • We may, at our discretion, contact the user or source of the material and provide an opportunity to submit a counter-notice if they believe the removal is mistaken.

3. Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act on behalf of one) and believe that content on this Site infringes your copyright, you may send us a written DMCA notice. For your notice to be valid under the DMCA, it should include all of the following information:

Required Elements of a DMCA Notice

  • Your contact information: Your full name, mailing address, telephone number and a valid email address.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work: A clear description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or a representative list of works if several are involved.
  • Identification of the infringing material: The exact URL(s) or specific location on the Site where the allegedly infringing material appears, so we can locate it quickly.
  • A statement of good faith: 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 of accuracy: A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
  • Your signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or person authorized to act on their behalf. An electronic signature can be your typed full name at the end of the notice.

Incomplete notices may not be processed. We recommend that you clearly label your message as a "DMCA Takedown Notice" in the subject line.

Where to Send Your DMCA Notice

Please send your DMCA notice using the contact information or contact form provided on the Site. When possible, include “DMCA Notice” in the subject line to help us route your request promptly.

4. What Happens After We Receive a DMCA Notice

When we receive a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will take reasonable steps to review the request and respond in accordance with the law and this Policy.

Our Typical Response

  • We may temporarily remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice.
  • We may notify the user, publisher or source of the material about the removal and provide them with a copy of the notice (with personal contact details possibly redacted where appropriate).
  • We may request additional information from you if anything in your notice is unclear.

Removal of content in response to a DMCA notice is not an admission that infringement has occurred; it is part of a standardized legal process designed to limit liability while disputes are reviewed.

5. Submitting a Counter-Notice

If your content has been removed or disabled due to a DMCA notice and you believe this removal is a mistake or that you have the legal right to use the material (for example, through a license, fair use, or because you are the copyright owner), you may send us a DMCA counter-notice.

Required Elements of a Counter-Notice

  • Your contact information: Your full name, mailing address, telephone number and a valid email address.
  • Identification of the material: A clear description of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
  • Statement of good faith: A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • Consent to jurisdiction: A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts (for example, the federal district court for your address if you are in the United States, or the equivalent court where the service provider is located) and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA notice or their agent.
  • Your signature: A physical or electronic signature (such as your typed full name).

Clearly label your message as a "DMCA Counter-Notice" so we can identify it quickly.

Our Procedure After a Counter-Notice

  • We may forward a copy of the counter-notice to the original complainant.
  • If we do not receive notice that the copyright owner has filed a court action seeking to restrain you from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity within the time period required by law (typically 10–14 business days in the United States), we may restore the material.
  • We are not obligated to restore content in all cases; restoration is subject to applicable laws and our policies.

6. Repeat Infringers

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, it is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, to disable access for users or sources who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

Factors We May Consider

  • The number and frequency of valid DMCA notices received relating to the same user or source.
  • The nature and seriousness of the alleged infringements.
  • Whether the user cooperates in addressing infringement issues.

We reserve the right to take action even in the absence of a formal DMCA notice if we have a reasonable belief that content violates copyright or other legal rights.

7. No Legal Advice

This DMCA Policy is provided for informational purposes only and is not legal advice. Copyright law, including fair use and related exceptions, can be complex and may vary by jurisdiction.

  • If you are unsure whether material on the Site infringes your rights, you may wish to consult a qualified attorney.
  • If you are unsure whether your use of content is lawful, you should also seek legal advice before filing a counter-notice.

8. Misrepresentations and Abuse of the DMCA Process

The DMCA requires that notices and counter-notices be submitted in good faith. Submitting false or misleading information, or abusing the notice-and-takedown process, may have legal consequences.

Potential Consequences

  • Under the DMCA, a person who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.
  • We reserve the right to reject notices or counter-notices that appear abusive, incomplete or clearly unfounded.

9. International Users

The DMCA is a U.S. law, but copyright protection exists in many countries through national laws and international treaties. We aim to act in a manner consistent with widely recognized principles of copyright protection, regardless of where you are located.

  • Users from other countries may still use the DMCA process described here to notify us of alleged infringements.
  • We may adapt our response as necessary to comply with local laws and legal requirements.
