DMCA Notice & Takedown Procedure

Last updated: May 24, 2026

AIgames123 respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512). This page explains how to submit a copyright infringement notice and how affected users can respond.

Quick start: If you believe content on AIgames123 infringes your copyright, email a notice meeting the requirements below to support@aigames123.com with the subject line DMCA Takedown Notice.

1. Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice

To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must be in writing and include ALL of the following:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (e.g. game title, source files, registration number if any).
  2. Identification of the infringing material on AIgames123, with sufficient detail for us to locate it — typically the full URL of the game's page.
  3. Your contact information: legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name is acceptable for electronic notices).

How to send it

Email: support@aigames123.com
Subject line: DMCA Takedown Notice

We respond to valid notices in good faith, typically within 3 business days. Note: as an independent personal project without a designated DMCA agent registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, we are not entitled to the same safe-harbor protections as larger services, but we voluntarily follow the DMCA process described here.

2. What Happens After You Submit

  1. We review your notice for completeness and good faith.
  2. If the notice is valid, we remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material — usually within 3 business days.
  3. We notify the user who uploaded the content, including a copy of your notice (your physical address may be redacted in this notification at our discretion, but other identifying information will be passed along, so do not include information you do not want shared).
  4. We track the user's account for repeat-infringer enforcement.

3. Counter-Notice (For Users Whose Content Was Removed)

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice. To be effective, your counter-notice must include:

  1. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
  2. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  3. Your full legal name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in California (or, if you live outside the U.S., that you consent to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which AIgames123 may be found).
  5. A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice or their agent.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Send counter-notices to support@aigames123.com with the subject line DMCA Counter-Notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. The complainant then has 10–14 business days to file a court action seeking a restraining order against you. If no court action is filed within that window, we may restore the content.

4. Repeat-Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA, we will terminate user accounts that are determined to be repeat infringers. We assess repeat infringement on a case-by-case basis but generally consider three (3) confirmed infringement notices within a 12-month period sufficient grounds for permanent account termination.

5. False Notices Are Prohibited

The DMCA imposes liability for misrepresentation in DMCA notices and counter-notices. Section 512(f) provides that anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing (or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification) may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney's fees. Please be sure before you submit.

6. AI-Generated Content & Copyright

AIgames123 hosts AI-generated games. We recognize that the intersection of AI and copyright is evolving. Some considerations:
