Copyright and takedown policy

Last updated: 21 July 2026

PokeIndie respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects the same from everyone who uses the PokeIndie website and services (the "Service"). This Copyright and Takedown Policy explains how to report material you believe infringes your copyright or trademark, how affected users can respond, and how repeat infringement is handled. It supplements our Terms of Service.

1. Reporting copyright infringement

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent at [email protected]. To be effective, your notice must include:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered by a single notice;
Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail that we can locate it (for example, the direct URL of the game listing, review, image, or file);
Your contact information, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

Notices that omit these elements may not receive a response. Where required by law (for example under 17 U.S.C. § 512), we process qualifying notices under the applicable statutory framework; outside the United States we apply the equivalent process under local law.

3. What happens after a valid notice

On receipt of a complete notice, we will remove or disable access to the identified material, and make reasonable efforts to notify the user who posted it, including a copy of the notice and information about the counter-notification process below.

4. Counter-notification

If you believe material you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to [email protected] that includes:

Your physical or electronic signature;
Identification of the material and its location before it was removed;
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
Your name, address, and telephone number; and
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in your district (or, if outside the United States, the applicable jurisdiction described in our Terms of Service) and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

Where required by applicable law, we will forward a valid counter-notice to the original complainant. Unless they inform us within a reasonable period (not less than 10 business days, where that minimum applies) that they have filed a legal action seeking a court order against you, we may restore the material.

5. Repeat infringer policy

We will suspend or terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are found to repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others.

6. Trademark and other rights

If you believe a listing or other content misuses your trademark or other intellectual property (other than copyright), email [email protected] with a description of the mark, your rights in it, the material at issue, and your contact details. You can also use our general report a listing tool for faster removal of clearly abusive content.

7. Misrepresentations

Submitting a knowingly false or bad-faith notice or counter-notice may expose you to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under applicable law. Please only submit a notice if you are the rights holder or authorized to act on their behalf.

8. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time; the date above reflects the latest revision.
