1. We respect copyright
LOUREZ GAMES (lourez.com) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its players to do the same. Players may only post games, pictures and text that they made themselves or have permission to use (see section 7 of the Terms of Service). We respond to notices of claimed copyright infringement in line with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
2. Designated Agent for Copyright Notices
Lourez has registered a DMCA Designated Agent with the U.S. Copyright Office. Send copyright notices and counter-notices to:
- Name: Zihao Lu
- Organization: Lourez
- Address: 3820 Avenue P, Brooklyn, NY 11234
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: 9299982008
3. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you are a copyright owner and believe that your work has been infringed on this site — for example a picture or game in a Community post, a comment, a shop item or a profile — you must send a written notice to the Designated Agent above (please put "DMCA notice" in the subject line). The notice must contain:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing (including the specific URL on lourez.com).
- Contact information of the complaining party (address, phone, email).
- A statement of good faith belief that the use 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 the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
Notices that are missing these details may not be valid, and we may ask you for more information. Knowingly sending a false notice can make you legally responsible for the harm it causes.
4. What we do
When we receive a valid notice, we will promptly remove or disable access to the content, and we may tell the player who posted it. Players who repeatedly post content that infringes other people's rights will have their accounts suspended or deleted. Removed Community posts are not refunded.
5. Counter-Notification
If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the Designated Agent at the email address above ([email protected]). Include your signature, what was removed and where it was, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, and your name, address and phone number. If the original complainant doesn't take legal action, we may put the content back.
6. Reporting other problems
For content that's inappropriate but not a copyright problem, use the "Report" links on profiles and comments, or "Report this Ad" under any Community post. Admins review every report.
