Copyright (DMCA)

Effective · Terms version 2026-10-21

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.

Designated agent

Sending a notice

If you believe content on Rate a Gamer infringes your copyright, send our designated agent a written notice that includes:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed.
  3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough information for us to find it (for example, the gamer page link and which report, screenshot or profile picture).
  4. Your name, address, telephone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you're the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Counter-notices

If your content was removed because of a notice and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you can send our agent a counter-notice that includes your signature; identification of the removed material and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and phone number, with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you're outside the U.S., any judicial district where we may be found) and will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice. We may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after receiving a valid counter-notice unless the original sender tells us they've filed a court action.

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyrights.

Misrepresentations

Anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
