Copyright and Takedown Policy

KoolGames respects the rights of creators. Most games on the site are made by other people, so we rely on rights holders to tell us when something infringes their rights. This page explains how to do that, and what we do next.

Reporting an infringement

If you believe a game or other content on KoolGames infringes your copyright, send a notice to [Name of copyright contact] at [Copyright notices email], or by post to [Business name], [Registered business address]. Please include:

1. your name and contact details;
2. a description of the work you say has been infringed, and how you own it or why you can act for the owner;
3. the web address (URL) of the game or content on KoolGames;
4. a statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn't authorised by the owner, its agent or the law;
5. a statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the owner or are allowed to act for them;
6. your signature. A typed name is fine.

What we do next

We look at every complete notice promptly. If it appears valid, we remove the content or switch off access to it. We tell the developer, share your notice with them, including your contact details, and give them the chance to respond. We may put the content back if you withdraw your notice or it turns out to be a mistake.

If your game was removed by mistake

If you are a developer and you think your game was removed by mistake, email [Copyright notices email] with:

1. your name and contact details;
2. the content that was removed, and where it appeared;
3. a statement that you believe in good faith that it was removed by mistake or because it was wrongly identified;
4. your agreement that we can pass your contact details to the person who complained.

If the person who complained doesn't tell us within [10 working days] that they have started legal action, we may put the content back.

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of developers who repeatedly infringe copyright, and remove their games.

Please be accurate

Only send a notice if you are sure. Knowingly making a false claim can have legal consequences, including having to pay damages.
