  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; if multiple works are involved, provide a representative list.

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification that includes:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled.

5. Fair Use Statement

The Site contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner. We believe this constitutes "fair use" as provided for in Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act.

Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 107, materials on this Site are distributed for the following purposes:

  • Commentary & Criticism: Providing original analysis of game mechanics, weapon data, and tactical strategies.
  • Educational Purposes: Guiding players in understanding game systems and sharing tactics to improve gameplay.
  • Transformative Use: Our core content (e.g., build guides and tactical analyses) adds new information, insights, and practical value to the underlying game content, creating original works.
  • Non-Commercial Purpose: The primary aim of the Site is information sharing and community building, not direct commercial sale of copyrighted content. Any passive advertising revenue supports site operations and maintenance.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, we have adopted a policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users who are deemed repeat infringers. We may also, at our discretion, limit access to the Site and/or terminate accounts of any users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others.

7. Policy Revisions

We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
