PlayToffee respects the intellectual property of game developers, artists and everyone else who creates original work, and we expect the same of our partners. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement in line with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. §512, and similar laws in other countries.
About the Games on PlayToffee
PlayToffee features two kinds of games:
- PlayToffee Originals, which we design and build ourselves.
- Licensed third-party games made by independent developers and provided through distribution platforms such as GameDistribution and GameMonetize. These games are embedded from the platform's servers and credited to their developers on each game page.
We only add third-party games that are offered for embedding through these licensed platforms. Even so, mistakes can happen, for example if a game was uploaded to a platform by someone who did not own it. If you are a rights holder and believe a game or other content on PlayToffee infringes your copyright, we want to know so we can fix it.
How to File a Copyright Notice
Send your notice by email to contact@playtoffee.com with "DMCA Notice" in the subject line. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a valid notice must include the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf. Typing your full legal name at the end of the email is acceptable as an electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If several works are covered by one notice, a representative list is acceptable.
- Identification of the infringing material and enough information for us to find it. Please include the full URL of each PlayToffee page, for example
https://playtoffee.com/games/example-game. - Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
- 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.
- A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly makes material misrepresentations in a notice may be liable for damages. If you are not sure whether something infringes your rights, consider consulting a lawyer first.
What Happens After We Receive a Notice
When we receive a complete and valid notice, we will:
- Review it promptly, usually within a few business days.
- Remove or disable access to the identified material. For a licensed third-party game, this means taking the game page down from PlayToffee.
- Where appropriate, let the distribution platform that supplied the game know about the complaint so it can address the issue at its source.
- Make reasonable efforts to notify the party who provided the material, when we can identify them.
Incomplete notices may delay our response. If something is missing, we will let you know what we need.
Counter-Notification
If you believe material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to contact@playtoffee.com with "DMCA Counter-Notice" in the subject line. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3), it must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the location (URL) where it appeared before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which PlayToffee may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.
When we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the person who sent the original notice. If they do not tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, we may restore the material within 10 to 14 business days of receiving the counter-notice.
Repeat Infringers
We will remove content from, and stop working with, any source that is repeatedly the subject of valid infringement notices. If a particular developer's games or a distribution channel generate repeated valid complaints, we will remove those games from PlayToffee and stop adding new games from that source.
