Gains & Gears ("we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using our website, Discord community, or related services.

This policy outlines the procedures for reporting copyright infringement and how we handle such notifications.

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;

3. DESIGNATED COPYRIGHT AGENT

To submit a copyright infringement notice, please contact us through our official communication channels. We will respond to valid DMCA notices in accordance with the law.

4. COUNTER-NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE

If you believe that your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated copyright agent. After receiving a counter-notice, we are obligated to forward that counter-notice to the person who sent the original takedown notice.

Your counter-notification must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;

5. REPEAT INFRINGERS

We reserve the right to terminate access for users who are determined to be "repeat infringers" of copyright. A repeat infringer is a user who has been notified of infringing activity multiple times or has had infringing material removed from our service multiple times.

6. DISCLAIMER

The DMCA won't protect you from trademark infringement, violations of NDAs or trade secret laws, defamation claims, and other claims. If you receive a legal letter regarding something other than copyright infringement, don't rely on this DMCA Policy for protection.
