DMCA Policy

Last updated: April 13, 2026

1. Overview

Doggy Casino ("we," "us," or "our") respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable copyright laws. This policy explains how we handle copyright infringement claims and our procedures for filing takedown notices on behalf of our clients.

2. Our Role as a DMCA Agent

2.1 Service Provider

Doggy Casino acts as an authorized agent for content creators to file DMCA takedown notices with third-party platforms and websites that host or distribute infringing content. We do not host user-generated content ourselves.

2.2 Authorization

By using our services, you authorize Doggy Casino to act on your behalf to:

• Identify potentially infringing content
• Prepare and file DMCA takedown notices
• Communicate with platforms regarding copyright claims
• Follow up on takedown requests
• Handle counter-notices as appropriate

3. DMCA Takedown Process

3.1 Content Monitoring

Our automated systems continuously monitor the internet for unauthorized distribution of your protected content across various platforms, including:

• File-sharing websites
• Social media platforms
• Forums and discussion boards
• Telegram and Discord channels
• Search engine results
• Other websites and platforms

3.2 Detection and Verification

When potential infringement is detected, we:

• Verify that the content matches your protected material
• Confirm that you are the legitimate copyright holder
• Ensure the use is not covered by fair use or other exceptions
• Document the infringing content and its location

3.3 Takedown Notice Submission

Upon verification, we file a DMCA takedown notice that includes:

• Identification of the copyrighted work
• Location of the infringing material (URL or specific location)
• Your contact information (as copyright holder)
• Statement of good faith belief that use is unauthorized
• Statement that information is accurate under penalty of perjury
• Physical or electronic signature of authorized representative

4. Counter-Notice Procedures

4.1 Receiving Counter-Notices

If a party files a counter-notice claiming that removed content was not infringing or was removed by mistake, we will:

• Forward the counter-notice to you promptly
• Inform you of your options and legal rights
• Advise on appropriate responses
• Assist in legal proceedings if necessary

4.2 Your Options

Upon receiving a counter-notice, you may:

• File a lawsuit seeking a court order to restrain infringement (within 10-14 business days)
• Accept the counter-notice and allow content restoration
• Work with the counter-notice filer to resolve the dispute

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

5.1 Tracking Violations

We maintain records of DMCA takedowns and track repeat infringers across platforms. This information may be used to:

• Report repeat offenders to hosting platforms
• Provide evidence in legal proceedings
• Identify systematic infringement patterns
• Improve detection algorithms

5.2 Platform Policies

Many platforms maintain repeat infringer policies that may result in account suspension or termination for users with multiple DMCA violations. We work with platforms to enforce these policies.

6. Filing a DMCA Notice Against Doggy Casino

Although we do not host user content, if you believe that material on our website infringes your copyright, you may file a DMCA notice with our designated agent:

Your notice must include:

• Physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
• Identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location
• Your contact information (name, address, phone, email)
• Statement of good faith belief that use is not authorized
• Statement that the information is accurate under penalty of perjury
• Statement that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

7. False Claims and Misrepresentation

7.1 Liability for False Claims

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing or was removed or disabled by mistake may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney fees.

7.2 Our Policy

We take false DMCA claims seriously. Users who file fraudulent or abusive takedown requests will:

• Have their accounts immediately suspended or terminated
• Be reported to relevant authorities
• Be held liable for any damages resulting from false claims
• Forfeit any refunds or credits

8. International Considerations

8.1 Jurisdiction

While the DMCA is U.S. law, we work with platforms globally and respect international copyright laws. We may file takedown notices under:

• European Union Copyright Directive
• UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act
• Other applicable national copyright laws

8.2 Platform-Specific Procedures

Different platforms may have unique procedures for handling copyright claims. We adapt our approach to comply with each platform's specific requirements while maintaining DMCA standards.

9. Limitations and Disclaimers

9.1 No Guarantee of Removal

While we make our best efforts to have infringing content removed, we cannot guarantee:

• That all platforms will honor takedown requests
• The speed at which content will be removed
• That content won't be re-uploaded after removal
• Detection of all infringing content

9.2 Third-Party Cooperation

Content removal depends on third-party platform cooperation. Some platforms may:

• Require additional verification
• Have delayed response times
• Reject takedown requests they believe are invalid
• Operate outside of DMCA jurisdiction

10. Fair Use and Legal Considerations

10.1 Fair Use Analysis

Before filing takedown notices, we consider whether the use may qualify as fair use under copyright law, including:

• Purpose and character of use
• Nature of the copyrighted work
• Amount and substantiality of portion used
• Effect on the market value of the work
