gameitchio.com respects the rights of game developers, artists and other copyright owners and expects visitors to do the same. This DMCA Policy explains how a copyright owner can notify us about material on the Site that they believe infringes their copyright.

gameitchio.com, also known as Itch.io Games Online, is an independent website with a catalog of indie and browser games, game pages, guides and news. It is not affiliated with itch.io. The Site may include embedded games, game-related information, links and references to content hosted or supplied by third parties.

If you own a copyright, or are authorized to act for someone who does, and you believe that a game, image, text or other material on gameitchio.com infringes that copyright, you can send us a written DMCA notice.

Your notice should give us enough detail to find the material and understand why you believe it infringes your rights.

What to Include in a DMCA Notice

Please include the following in your complaint:

  • Your full name and contact details.
  • A description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, for example the game title and its official page.
  • Details that let us locate the material on our Site, ideally the exact page URL.
  • An explanation of why you believe the material infringes your copyright.
  • A statement that you believe in good faith that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  • A statement that the information in your notice is accurate.
  • A statement that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

Submitting a Notice

Send DMCA notices by email to [email protected] or through our Contact page. Please mark the message clearly as a copyright or DMCA request so it is reviewed correctly.

Including the exact URL of the page in question helps us investigate faster.

Review of Complaints

After we receive a properly submitted complaint, we review the information and decide what action is appropriate under applicable law.

Depending on the situation, we may remove the game or material, restrict access to it, contact the party involved, ask for more information or take another suitable step.

Sending a DMCA notice does not automatically guarantee removal. We may consider whether the notice contains the information required by law and whether other legal factors apply.

Counter-Notification

If you believe material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification where applicable law allows it.

Your counter-notification should explain the reason for your objection and give us enough information to assess it. Depending on the circumstances, we may forward it to the party who filed the original complaint or take other steps required by law.

Repeat Infringement

Where appropriate and permitted by law, we may limit or end access to the Site for users or parties who repeatedly infringe copyrights or repeatedly supply infringing material.

Third-Party Content

Some games and media available through the Site are hosted on external platforms. If the material is hosted entirely by another service, you may also need to send your complaint to that hosting provider or platform, including itch.io where the game is hosted there.

We will still review complaints about pages, links, embedded games or other material shown on gameitchio.com and act where we are able to and have a legal basis to do so.

Good-Faith Submissions

Only copyright owners or their authorized representatives with a legitimate claim should send copyright complaints. Knowingly submitting a materially false or misleading notice may have legal consequences.

Policy Updates

We may update this DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Site, our procedures or applicable law. The latest version posted on this page applies from the date it is published.
