DMCA Copyright Policy
Last updated: June 2026 · U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)
ZeroFee.gg respects intellectual property rights. We respond to valid copyright notices from rights holders and provide a process for users to submit counter-notifications when appropriate. We are a neutral hosting platform — we do not create, sell, or verify marketplace listings.
1. Designated Copyright Agent
Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), ZeroFee.gg has designated the following agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement. Email is the preferred and fastest method.
ZeroFee.gg
DMCA Designated Copyright Agent
Email: support@zerofee.gg
Email is our only channel for DMCA takedown and counter-notifications. We do not provide telephone or postal-mail support.
We aim to acknowledge valid email notices within 2 business days and act within 5 business days.
2. What This Policy Covers
This policy applies to copyright claims regarding content hosted on ZeroFee.gg, including but not limited to:
- Listing images, screenshots, or artwork uploaded by users
- Profile pictures, banners, and store branding
- Text descriptions that reproduce protected creative works
- Blog posts or other user-submitted media
Trademark and game-publisher complaints (unauthorized use of logos, brand names, or publisher policy disputes) may be handled under our separate IP & Game Publisher Policy. Send those to support@zerofee.gg — we route valid notices to our team.
3. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your written notice must include all of the following. Incomplete notices may be rejected or delayed:
- 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)
- Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to locate it on ZeroFee.gg (exact listing URLs, profile URLs, or image links)
- Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
Send completed notices to support@zerofee.gg. Use subject line: DMCA Takedown Notice
4. What Happens After We Receive a Notice
Review
We verify the notice meets § 512(c)(3) requirements. Deficient notices are returned with guidance.
Action
We promptly remove or disable access to the identified material when the notice is valid.
Notify user
We inform the affected user of the removal and, where applicable, their right to submit a counter-notification.
Record
We maintain records of notices and actions as required for safe-harbor compliance.
We are not required to adjudicate disputes between users and rights holders. Our role is limited to processing notices that comply with applicable law.
5. Counter-Notification
If your content was removed due to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was mistaken or that you have the right to use the material, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). It must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature
- Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification
- Your name, address, and telephone number
- 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 outside the U.S., any judicial district in which ZeroFee.gg may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent
Send counter-notifications to support@zerofee.gg with subject line: DMCA Counter-Notification
If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material after 10–14 business days unless the copyright owner informs us they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the user from infringing activity.
6. Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), ZeroFee.gg maintains a policy for terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers.
- First valid infringement: content removal and warning
- Multiple valid infringements: temporary suspension
- Pattern of repeat infringement: permanent account termination
- We may terminate immediately for egregious or willful infringement
7. Misrepresentation & Penalties
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, copyright owner, or ZeroFee.gg.
Do not submit false, harassing, or bad-faith notices. Abuse of the DMCA process may result in rejection of your notice, account restrictions, and referral to appropriate authorities.
8. User Responsibilities
By using ZeroFee.gg, you agree that you will not upload, list, or share content that infringes third-party copyrights. You are solely responsible for obtaining all necessary rights, licenses, or permissions for images, text, and media in your listings and profile.

9. Platform Role & Limitation of Liability
ZeroFee.gg operates as an intermediary that hosts user-generated content. We do not pre-screen all listings. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for user-uploaded content; our liability is limited to our obligations under applicable safe-harbor provisions when we receive valid notices.
Nothing in this policy constitutes legal advice. Consult qualified counsel if you are unsure whether to file a notice or counter-notification.
