Copyright & DMCA Policy

This Copyright & DMCA Policy explains how Platinum Trivia handles claims of copyright infringement, requests for removal of allegedly infringing material, and counter-notifications under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Last Updated: August 9, 2026

2. Scope of This Policy

Platinum Trivia allows users to provide certain types of content, including uploaded avatars, comments on trivia questions, comments on blog posts, usernames, and other user-provided information.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") provides a process through which copyright owners may request removal of material they believe infringes their copyrights.

This Policy primarily applies to claims concerning copyrighted material made available through user-submitted content on Platinum Trivia.

If your copyright concern involves content published directly by Platinum Trivia rather than content submitted by a user, you may also contact us using the Copyright Agent information provided below. We will review the concern and respond as appropriate.

The DMCA process is specifically for copyright claims. Complaints involving trademarks, privacy, impersonation, harassment, or other issues should generally be submitted to Platinum Trivia Support at support@platinumtrivia.com.

3. Submitting a Copyright Infringement Notice

If you are a copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner and believe material available through Platinum Trivia infringes an exclusive copyright, you may submit a written notification to our Copyright Agent.

To be effective under the DMCA, your notification should include substantially the following information:

  1. Your signature. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works on Platinum Trivia are covered by the same notice, you may provide a representative list of those works where permitted by law.
  3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material. Identification of the material that you claim is infringing or is the subject of infringing activity and that you want removed or disabled.
  4. Information allowing us to locate the material. Provide information reasonably sufficient for us to find the material. Whenever possible, include the specific Platinum Trivia URL where the material appears, the username involved, and any other information that will help us locate it.
  5. Your contact information. Information reasonably sufficient for us to contact you, such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  6. Good-faith statement. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner's agent, or the law.
  7. Accuracy and authority statement. A statement that the information in your notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Copyright infringement notices should be sent to:

Copyright Agent
Gamma Ape, LLC
Platinum Trivia
1209 Mountain Road Place NE, #5343
Albuquerque, NM 87110
United States

Email: dmca@platinumtrivia.com

Email is the preferred method for submitting notices. Please use a subject line such as "DMCA Copyright Notice" to help us identify the request.

4. How We Respond to Notices

When Platinum Trivia receives a copyright infringement notice that substantially complies with applicable DMCA requirements, we will review the notice and take appropriate action.

Where appropriate, this may include removing or disabling access to the material identified in the notice.

If the affected material was submitted by a Platinum Trivia user, we may notify that user that the material has been removed or access to it has been disabled.

We may provide the user with information about the copyright claim and the opportunity to submit a counter-notification as described below.

If a notice is incomplete but provides enough information for us to identify the copyrighted work, locate the allegedly infringing material, and contact the person who submitted the notice, we may contact the sender to request additional information.

Removal of material in response to a copyright claim does not constitute a determination by Platinum Trivia that copyright infringement actually occurred.

5. Submitting a Counter-Notification

If content you submitted was removed or disabled in response to a DMCA copyright notice and you believe the material was removed because of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification.

To be effective under the DMCA, a counter-notification should include substantially the following information:

  1. Your signature. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the removed material. Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, along with the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  3. Statement under penalty of perjury. 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 of the material.
  4. Your contact information. Your name, address, and telephone number.
  5. Consent to jurisdiction. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Gamma Ape, LLC may be found.
  6. Acceptance of service. A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original copyright notification or that person's agent.

Counter-notifications should be sent to:

Copyright Agent
Gamma Ape, LLC
Platinum Trivia
1209 Mountain Road Place NE, #5343
Albuquerque, NM 87110
United States

Email: dmca@platinumtrivia.com

Please use a subject line such as "DMCA Counter-Notification".

Please be aware that we may provide a copy of your counter-notification, including the contact information contained in it, to the person who submitted the original copyright infringement notice.

6. Restoration of Removed Material

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may provide a copy of the counter-notification to the person who submitted the original copyright infringement notice and inform that person that we intend to restore the material or cease disabling access to it.

Where the DMCA counter-notification procedure applies, the removed material may be restored not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after we receive the counter-notification, unless our Copyright Agent first receives notice that the person who submitted the original infringement notice has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.

Submitting a counter-notification does not guarantee that content will be restored if another lawful basis exists for removing the content, including a violation of our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines.

7. Repeat Infringers

Platinum Trivia maintains a policy providing for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users who are repeat copyright infringers.

When determining whether account action is appropriate, we may consider the circumstances surrounding copyright complaints involving the account, including valid infringement notices, repeated instances of infringing material, counter-notifications, and other relevant information.

Account action may include:

  • Removal of infringing content;
  • Restrictions on the ability to upload or post content;
  • Temporary account suspension; or
  • Permanent account termination in appropriate circumstances.

Nothing in this section prevents Platinum Trivia from removing content or taking account action after a single incident when the circumstances independently justify such action under our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines.

8. Misrepresentations

DMCA notices and counter-notifications are legal communications and should be submitted in good faith.

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or knowingly materially misrepresents that material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages resulting from that misrepresentation, including certain costs and attorneys' fees.

If you are uncertain whether material infringes your copyright, whether a use is authorized, or whether a counter-notification is appropriate, you may wish to consult a qualified attorney before submitting a notice.

9. Other Intellectual Property Complaints

The DMCA notice-and-counter-notification process applies to claims of copyright infringement.

It is not generally the appropriate process for complaints solely involving:

  • Trademark disputes;
  • Impersonation;
  • Defamation;
  • Privacy concerns;
  • Harassment;
  • Objectionable content; or
  • Other non-copyright legal or community issues.

For non-copyright concerns, contact Platinum Trivia Support at support@platinumtrivia.com or use any reporting feature provided for the relevant content.

10. User-Submitted Content

Users are responsible for ensuring that content they submit to Platinum Trivia does not infringe another person's copyright or other intellectual property rights.

This includes uploaded avatars, comments, images, and any other content that users are permitted to submit through the Service.

The fact that content can technically be uploaded, displayed, or posted through Platinum Trivia does not mean that Gamma Ape, LLC has reviewed, approved, licensed, or endorsed that content.

Additional rules governing user-submitted content are described in our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Copyright & DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, copyright procedures, legal requirements, or business practices.

When this Policy is updated, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

Material changes may also be communicated through Platinum Trivia or another appropriate method when required or appropriate.
