DMCA Policy for MobileMesh

At MobileMesh, we respect the intellectual property rights of mobile game developers, publishers, artists, and all creators whose work contributes to the vibrant mobile gaming community. Our platform, applications, and services are designed to foster creativity, engagement, and enjoyment of mobile games while complying fully with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other relevant copyright laws. This policy outlines how we address copyright infringement claims relating to mobile gaming content, ensuring a balanced and fair approach that protects rights holders and respects user contributions.

1. Intellectual Property in Mobile Gaming

Mobile games often consist of multiple forms of copyrighted material, including but not limited to:

• Game software and source code
• Visual elements such as characters, backgrounds, user interface components, and animations
• Audio elements including soundtracks, sound effects, and voiceovers
• Storylines, scripts, and dialogue
• Promotional materials such as trailers, screenshots, and marketing graphics
• User-generated content such as mods, custom skins, and gameplay videos

The unauthorized use, reproduction, distribution, or display of any such copyrighted materials without proper authorization from the rights holder constitutes infringement under copyright law.

2. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your copyrighted mobile gaming content has been used or displayed on our platform without permission, you may submit a formal DMCA takedown request. To be considered valid and processed, your notice must include the following information:

• Your full legal name and contact details, including mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A clear and specific identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed.
• Precise information regarding the infringing content’s location on our platform, such as URLs or other identifying information.
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material is unauthorized by you, your agent, or the law.
• A declaration under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we will promptly investigate the claim, take appropriate action which may include removing or disabling access to the infringing content, and notify the user responsible for the content.

3. Counter-Notification Process

If you are a user whose content has been removed due to a DMCA claim and you believe this action was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. This must include:

• Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• Identification of the removed content and its original location before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury asserting your good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled due to error or misidentification.
• Consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which the platform may be located.
• A statement that you agree to accept service of process from the party who submitted the original DMCA claim.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

We will forward your counter-notification to the original complainant. Unless legal action is initiated within the statutory period, we may restore the removed content.

4. Repeat Infringers

In order to protect the rights of content creators and maintain the integrity of our platform, we have a strict policy against repeat infringers. Accounts that repeatedly post or distribute infringing material may be subject to suspension, termination, or other restrictions, including the blocking of associated devices or payment methods.

5. User Responsibilities Regarding Mobile Gaming Content

Mobile gaming users and creators should adhere to the following best practices:

• Ensure that all shared content, including gameplay footage, mods, skins, or soundtracks, respects copyright laws and the rights of content owners.
• Obtain proper licenses or permissions before using third-party copyrighted materials in videos, streams, or custom content.
• Avoid sharing unlicensed or pirated copies of mobile games or in-app assets.
• Respect the terms and conditions set forth by mobile game developers and publishers.

6. Fair Use and Educational Exceptions

We acknowledge that certain uses of copyrighted mobile gaming content may qualify as fair use or fall within educational or commentary exceptions. Examples include:

• Critical reviews and analysis
• Parodies and satirical content
• Educational tutorials or research-based content
• News reporting on mobile gaming industry developments

However, fair use is determined on a case-by-case basis and depends on factors such as purpose, nature, amount used, and market impact. Users should carefully evaluate their content to ensure compliance.

7. Misuse of the DMCA Process

Submitting false or fraudulent DMCA claims or counter-notifications can have serious legal repercussions under applicable laws. We strongly encourage all parties to act in good faith and provide accurate information when submitting claims or responses.

8. Enforcement and Policy Updates

We actively enforce this policy to promote a lawful and respectful environment for mobile gaming. Violations may result in content removal, account actions, or legal referrals as appropriate. This policy may be updated periodically to reflect legal changes, technological developments, or evolving community standards.
