DMCA Policy

Game Development Studio Acquisition is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect our users and the studios we work with to do the same. This DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) Policy outlines the procedures for reporting alleged copyright infringement and for responding to such claims concerning content hosted on or accessible through our platforms and services, particularly in relation to content developed by acquired studios or related intellectual properties.

We take copyright infringement seriously and will respond to clear notices of alleged infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable intellectual property laws.

Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notification, we may restore the removed material, unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material.
