DMCA
At ControllerHub, we respect and protect the intellectual property rights of game developers, publishers, and all content creators whose works appear directly or indirectly in connection with our platform. This DMCA Copyright Policy outlines our procedures for handling copyright infringement complaints in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. It applies to all users of our game store, including those who browse, download, purchase, or upload content.
As a digital game distribution platform, we are committed to maintaining a lawful and respectful environment for the gaming community. We expect users, partners, and third-party contributors to adhere to copyright regulations and avoid unauthorized use or reproduction of protected material.
Within the context of a digital game store, multiple forms of content can be considered copyrighted, including but not limited to:
Unauthorized use, duplication, hosting, or sharing of such content may constitute a copyright violation. All content on our platform, whether user-uploaded or integrated through developer partnerships, must comply with applicable copyright laws.
If you are a copyright owner or authorized representative and believe your copyrighted work has been infringed on our platform, you may submit a DMCA Takedown Notice. This legal notification must include the following components to be valid:
Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we will investigate, temporarily disable or remove access to the allegedly infringing material, and notify the uploader or distributor.
If you are a user or developer who received a DMCA takedown notice and believe the content was removed in error or you are authorized to use it, you may file a counter-notification including:
We will forward valid counter-notices to the complainant. If no legal action is initiated within the required timeframe, the content may be restored.
We enforce a strict repeat infringer policy. Users who repeatedly upload or share infringing material may face suspension, restriction, or permanent termination of accounts. Determinations are at our sole discretion and may consider multiple takedown notices or other abuse.
To avoid copyright violations, all users, developers, and resellers must ensure they legally own or have licenses for any content they upload or publish, including:
Non-compliance may result in removal, penalties, or legal action.
Some copyrighted content uses may be protected under fair use laws, such as:
Fair use is complex; users should consult legal advisors to understand their rights. Our platform does not provide legal advice or guarantees.
We review DMCA takedown requests individually. Valid complaints lead to removal or restriction of identified content, notification to responsible parties, and opportunity for counter-notifications. Invalid or incomplete notices may prompt requests for more information. Misuse of the DMCA process may result in legal consequences.
We cooperate with developers and publishers to protect their intellectual property. Official game listings include only authorized promotional content. We prohibit resale or download of unlicensed games or infringing products. Developers and publishers should report suspected infringements promptly.
Fraudulent claims, false reporting, or attempts to silence critics via DMCA may lead to counterclaims or legal action. Users abusing counter-notification procedures also face penalties. We strive for a balanced, respectful dispute resolution process.
This DMCA Policy may be updated to reflect changes in law, technology, or business needs. Users are responsible for regularly reviewing this policy. Continued platform use signifies acceptance of changes.
To submit a DMCA notice, counter-notice, or inquiry regarding intellectual property, please contact our designated DMCA agent. All communications should be clear, accurate, and comply with legal standards. We respond promptly to valid complaints while ensuring a fair process.
