FATHOMFALL Copyright & DMCA Policy
Effective date: 2026-06-23
Version: 1.1
FATHOMFALL (the "Game") is operated by Venture Returns LLC, a Missouri limited liability company ("Venture Returns," "we," "us," or "our"). We respect the intellectual-property rights of others and expect players to do the same. This policy explains how to report alleged copyright infringement in connection with the FATHOMFALL game (the "Game") and how we respond, consistent with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and, for users in the EU/UK, the notice-and-action expectations of the Digital Services Act and applicable copyright law.
The only user-generated content the Game displays to others is your display name. If you believe a display name (or any other content in the Game) infringes your copyright, you can submit a notice as described below.
Notices and counter-notices: dmca@fathomfallgame.com.
1. Reporting alleged copyright infringement (DMCA notice)
To report content you believe infringes your copyright, send a written notice to dmca@fathomfallgame.com that includes all of the following:
1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works);
3. Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (for example, the exact display name and where it appears);
4. Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email;
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
Incomplete notices may delay or prevent action. Please note that under U.S. law (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)), knowingly materially misrepresenting that material is infringing may subject you to liability.
2. Our response
When we receive a valid notice, we may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material (for example, by hiding or changing an infringing display name), and we may notify the user who submitted it. We may also take action under our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
3. Counter-notice
If you believe your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to dmca@fathomfallgame.com that includes:
1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal;
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.
After we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material as permitted by law, typically within 10–14 business days, unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action.
4. Repeat infringers
We may suspend or terminate access for users who are repeat infringers, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, consistent with applicable law.
5. Designated copyright agent
We have designated the following agent to receive notices of alleged infringement:
