Required Information

your valid contact email address;
a detailed description of the copyrighted work allegedly infringed;
the exact URL or URLs where the allegedly infringing material appears;
a statement that you are the copyright owner or authorized representative;
a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized;
a statement that the information in the notice is accurate;
a statement made under penalty of perjury;
your electronic or physical signature (full legal name is acceptable as an electronic signature where permitted).

DMCA Contact Email: [email protected]

Notices should be sent from an email address that can reasonably be connected to the copyright owner or an authorized agent, or should otherwise contain sufficient information to establish authority.

5. How Search-Casino.com Processes DMCA Notices

Once we receive a notice that appears valid on its face, we may:

review the complaint for completeness and reasonable specificity;
temporarily disable, restrict, or remove the allegedly infringing material;
notify the relevant contributor, partner, or internal team member where appropriate;
request clarification or additional documentation if necessary.

We reserve the right to deny, delay, or dismiss a complaint if:

it is incomplete, invalid, or lacks sufficient identifying details;
the provided information is inaccurate or insufficient to locate the material;
the disputed content appears to fall under fair use, editorial reference, licensed use, or another lawful basis;
the claim appears abusive, fraudulent, automated, or clearly made in bad faith.

6. How to Submit a DMCA Counter-Notice

If your content was removed or restricted due to a copyright complaint and you believe this was a mistake, you may submit a counter-notice.

A valid counter-notice should include:

your full legal name;
your contact email address;
the URL or location of the material before it was removed or restricted;
a statement explaining why you believe the removal or restriction was incorrect;
your consent to the jurisdiction of an appropriate court where required under applicable law;
a declaration made under penalty of perjury that your counter-notice is accurate;
your electronic or physical signature.

Once a counter-notice is received and appears valid, we may notify the original complainant. If no appropriate legal action is initiated within the relevant period, the content may be restored at our discretion and in accordance with applicable law.

7. False or Abusive Notices

Submitting fraudulent, misleading, or bad-faith copyright notices or counter-notices may lead to legal and practical consequences, including:

potential liability for damages;
loss of legal protections otherwise available under applicable law;
restriction from submitting further notices to Search-Casino.com;
internal recordkeeping of abusive reporting behavior.

Search-Casino.com takes abuse of the DMCA and copyright complaint process seriously.

8. User Submissions and Third-Party Content

Where Search-Casino.com allows user submissions, partner content, uploaded media, comments, complaints, reviews, or other externally sourced materials, the person or entity submitting the material remains responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights or permissions.

Search-Casino.com may remove, restrict, edit, or refuse to publish submitted material where there are copyright, trademark, impersonation, abuse, moderation, or legal concerns.

9. Search-Casino.com Liability

Search-Casino.com is not responsible for:

independent third-party content or materials published by external sources;
links that lead away from our website;
partner-provided media assets, logos, banners, or promotional materials;
incorrect, outdated, or incomplete information supplied by third parties;
content submitted by users, partners, or other external contributors.

To the extent applicable, Search-Casino.com may rely on safe harbor principles and similar legal protections available to online service providers and website operators.
