How to submit a DMCA takedown notice
To report alleged copyright infringement, please send a written DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent at [email protected]. A proper notice should include:
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
- Identification of the material you claim is infringing and its exact location on the site (include URL(s) and any relevant context).
- Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, and email address).
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner or the law.
- 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).
- Your physical or electronic signature (electronic signatures are acceptable).
This information helps us verify and process your claim quickly and in compliance with applicable law.

How we handle DMCA notices
When we receive a valid notice, we will take action promptly. Actions we may take include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material, notifying the uploader, and, where appropriate, terminating accounts that repeatedly infringe copyrights. We document notices and actions taken for our records and to help protect our community and rights owners.

Counter-notice (if you believe a takedown was mistaken)
If material was removed or access disabled and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. A valid counter-notice typically must include:
- Identification of the material removed and its location before removal.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your residence (or the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia if you live outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
We will follow applicable legal procedures after receiving a proper counter-notice, which may include restoring the material unless the complainant files a lawsuit in the required time period.

Developer & community considerations
Solar Smash values developers and the creative community. We host free browser-based games while protecting creators’ rights. If you are a developer and wish to dispute a claim or request a takedown for your own content, please contact us at [email protected] and include details about your ownership or authorization.
We also encourage developers to provide clear licensing information within their game packages and to use in-game notices if their game collects personal data or requires special permissions.
