DMCA & Copyright Policy

Policy & Safe Harbor Framework

Scooperdive Ltd acts as an intermediary provider of computing capacity, data transmission, and server virtualization. We do not preview, review, or edit the game world files, custom scripts, maps, or mods uploaded by customers onto their dedicated container storage.

In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512), the UK Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002, and the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, Scooperdive maintains a formal notice-and-takedown procedure to respond expeditiously to valid claims of copyright infringement.

Designated Copyright Agent

All formal notifications of claimed copyright infringement must be submitted directly to our Designated Copyright Agent:

Filing a Valid Takedown Notice

To be legally effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) and UK intermediary standards, a notification of claimed copyright infringement must be a written communication containing all of the following six elements:

1. Authorized Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of Work: Clear identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works, including original URLs or registration numbers).
3. Identification of Infringing Material: Specific identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, including sufficient technical details to allow Scooperdive to locate the material (e.g. server IP address, port, specific game file path, web URL, or resource name).
4. Contact Information: Information reasonably sufficient to permit Scooperdive to contact the complaining party (full legal name, physical address, telephone number, and valid email address).
5. Good Faith Statement: A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. Accuracy Statement under Penalty of Perjury: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Review & Takedown Procedure

Upon receipt of a complete, compliant takedown notice:

1. Our legal department verifies that the notice meets all statutory requirements.
2. If valid, Scooperdive will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the infringing material (or temporarily suspend the specific server instance if the entire service consists of pirated content).
3. We will promptly notify the affected customer of the takedown notice and provide them with a copy of the complaint so that they may exercise their statutory right to file a Counter-Notification.

Counter-Notifications

If you are a Scooperdive customer and believe that material on your server was removed or disabled as a result of mistake, misidentification, or fair use, you may submit a formal Counter-Notification to our Designated Agent at [email protected].

Required Elements for a Counter-Notification:

• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal;
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• Your full name, physical address, telephone number, and email address;
• A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales (or, if you reside in the US, the federal district court for your judicial district), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not notify us within fourteen (14) business days that they have filed a court action seeking a restraining order, Scooperdive may restore the disabled material.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(1)(A), Scooperdive Ltd maintains a strict policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of customers who are repeat infringers.

A customer who receives three (3) verified copyright takedown notices without successful counter-notifications within a twelve-month period will have all services permanently terminated, all data wiped, and all fees forfeited without refund.

Penalties for False Claims

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and UK common law, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including legal costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, copyright owner, or Scooperdive Ltd.
