At Ace Defender: Dragon War, we are committed to protecting intellectual property rights and complying fully with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This policy describes our procedures for handling claims of copyright infringement, as well as the rights and responsibilities of both copyright owners and users of our platform. 1. Respect for Intellectual Property We recognize the importance of copyright protection in fostering a creative and respectful online community. We do not permit the unauthorized use of copyrighted materials on our site, and we expect all users to abide by applicable copyright laws. 2. Submitting a Copyright Infringement Notice If you believe that material hosted on our site infringes your copyright, you may file a written notification containing the following information: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an agent authorized to act on their behalf. A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. A clear identification of the specific material you believe is infringing, including its location on our site (URL or detailed explanation). Your name, address, telephone number, and a valid email address. A statement affirming your good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, their agent, or the law. A declaration, under penalty of perjury, that the information provided is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner. Please be advised that knowingly submitting false or misleading claims may subject you to legal liability. 3. Our Response to Infringement Claims Upon receiving a valid DMCA notification, we will take the following steps: Review the notice for compliance with DMCA requirements. Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content as promptly as possible. Notify the individual or entity responsible for the content of the takedown. In appropriate cases, implement additional enforcement actions such as account suspension or restriction. We reserve the right to decline a claim if it is incomplete or does not meet the legal criteria outlined in the DMCA. 4. Filing a Counter-Notification If you believe that the content removed or disabled due to a DMCA complaint was taken down in error, you may submit a counter-notification that includes: Your physical or electronic signature. Identification of the content that was removed and its location prior to removal. A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification. Your full name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate U.S. federal court and agreeing to accept service of process from the original complainant. If a valid counter-notification is received, we may restore the content unless the original copyright owner initiates legal action within a legally defined time frame. 5. Repeat Infringer Policy We take repeated violations seriously. Users found to be repeat infringers may have their access to the site permanently restricted or terminated. The determination of what constitutes a "repeat infringer" is made at our sole discretion, based on the frequency and severity of violations. 6. Third-Party Content Our site may feature user-generated content, fan submissions, and third-party contributions. We are not responsible for such content but will take appropriate action upon receiving valid DMCA complaints related to it. 7. No Legal Representation Nothing in this DMCA Policy is intended to constitute legal advice. Parties concerned about copyright infringement should consult with legal counsel to better understand their rights and responsibilities under applicable laws. 8. Policy Updates We reserve the right to modify this DMCA Policy at any time. Changes become effective immediately upon posting. Continued use of the site following any update signifies acceptance of the revised terms.
