Copyright and DMCA

What this covers

Furxel respects copyright and expects its players to. This page is for anything Furxel stores or shows that you believe infringes a copyright you own or act for:

• What players post: profile pictures, banners, usernames, display names, bios and messages.
• Cover art and game images Furxel shows for a game. These come from the stores and from SteamGridDB; Furxel can stop showing an image and will pass the report on to where it came from.
• This website and the app's own art.

Complaints are handled the same way wherever you are. The process below follows the United States' Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Reporting an infringement

Send a notice that includes all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature, as the owner or someone authorised to act for them.
2. The copyrighted work you believe is infringed, or a list if there are several.
3. Where the infringing material is, precisely enough to find it: the player's username, and which picture, banner or text.
4. Your name, postal address, phone number and email address.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for them.

A complete notice is acted on promptly: the material is removed or disabled, and the player who posted it is told. Knowingly misrepresenting that something infringes can make you liable for damages.

If your content was removed

If you believe it was removed by mistake, or that you had the right to post it, send a counter-notice that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. What was removed, and where it appeared before.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, outside the United States, any judicial district in which Furxel may be found), and that you will accept service from the person who sent the notice.

The counter-notice is passed to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell Furxel within 10 to 14 business days that they have gone to court, the material is put back.

Repeat infringers

An account that is the subject of repeated valid notices is closed.
