Copyright and DMCA Policy

We respect intellectual property, and we expect the same from everyone who uses PlayTrendingGames. Our games are made in-house with our own names, characters, art and levels, and any third-party material we use is licensed and listed on our Credits page. If you believe something on our site infringes your copyright, please tell us and we will look into it promptly.

How to send a copyright notice

Send your notice by email to hello@playtrendinggames.com with “Copyright notice” in the subject line, or by post to our designated agent (below). To be valid under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)), your notice must include:

1. your physical or electronic signature (or that of a person authorised to act for the copyright owner);
2. a description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed;
3. the exact URL or other details that let us find the material on our site;
4. your name, postal address, telephone number and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised 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 are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.

Please be aware that knowingly false claims can lead to liability for damages.

What happens next

When we receive a complete notice, we will review it and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the material and let the person who provided it know (if anyone other than us provided it).

Counter-notices

If material you provided was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It must include your signature; a description of the material and where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address and telephone number; and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and will accept service from the person who sent the original notice. We may restore the material after 10 to 14 business days unless the original complainant tells us they have started court action.

Repeat infringers

Where users can provide content, we will close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe others’ copyright, in appropriate circumstances.

Canada: notice and notice

Canada’s Copyright Act (sections 41.25 to 41.27) sets up a “notice and notice” regime, which mainly applies to internet service providers and hosts. If you are a Canadian rights holder, you are welcome to contact us directly at the email address above and we will respond.
