Copyright Policy

 

To file a copyright infringement notification with us, you will need to send a written communication to us with all of the following information in it, using this format:

i.                Include a statement telling us that you have found a game on OhMyGame which you believe infringes your copyright (for example, "I hereby confirm that I believe the game identified below infringes my copyright").

ii.                Tell us which country your copyright applies to.

iii.                Tell us the title of the game concerned and the full URL for its distribution page.

iv.                Explain to us how the game infringes your copyright (e.g. the sound is copied, the entire game is a copy of an original work made by you, etc.)

v.                Identify the type (e.g. a film, a piece of music, a book, etc.) and details (e.g. title, publisher, dates, etc.) of the copyright work which you own the rights to and which you believe has been infringed. If this information is available on the Internet, it is helpful to send us a link.

vi.                Provide us with your contact information so that we can get in touch with you (email address is preferred).

vii.                Let us have the contact information which we can pass on to the submitter of the game concerned, so that they can get in touch with you to resolve your complaint directly (email address is preferred).

viii.                Include the following statement: "I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted work described above is not authorised by the copyright owner (or by a third party who is legally entitled to do so on behalf of the copyright owner) and is not otherwise permitted by law."

ix.                I swear that the information contained in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or have an exclusive right in law to bring infringement proceedings with respect to its use.

x.                Sign the notice. If you are providing notice by email, a scanned physical signature or a valid electronic signature will be accepted.



Claimant information will be published on the OhMyGame site in place of disabled content.


Retractions
After submitting a copyright infringement notification, copyright owners may realise that they misidentified content or they may otherwise change their mind. OhMyGame is therefore always glad to honour retractions of copyright claims from the party who originally submitted them.
