Copyright & DMCA

Last updated: August 8, 2026

slime.hq respects copyright. Parts of the Service store material submitted by users, including Slime Chat messages, guild applications, and the names and links creators add to their own profiles. This page names our designated copyright agent, explains how to report material you believe infringes your copyright, how to dispute a removal, and what happens to accounts that infringe repeatedly. It supplements the Terms of Service, which remain in effect.

1. Designated Copyright Agent

The following agent has been designated to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement for slime.hq, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2) and 37 C.F.R. § 201.38. The same information is on file with the United States Copyright Office in its public directory of designated agents.

Please send copyright notices to the agent above, and put "DMCA" in the subject line so they are not mistaken for general mail. A notice sent by post to the agent's mail address is equally effective, and is the right choice if you want a paper record.

2. How to Send a Takedown Notice

To report material on the Service that you believe infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, send a written notice to the designated agent that includes substantially all six of the following. These are the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A); a notice that leaves them out may not be effective.

1. Your physical or electronic signature, as a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the right claimed to be infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or, if several works at one location are covered by the notice, a representative list of them.
3. Identification of the material you say is infringing and want removed, with enough detail for us to find it. A direct URL and the message or profile in question is the most useful thing you can give us.
4. Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Before you send one, please consider whether the use might be permitted, for example as fair use. A takedown notice is a legal statement made under penalty of perjury, not a complaint form.

3. What We Do When We Receive a Notice

On receiving a notice that substantially complies with the requirements above, we will remove or disable access to the material within a reasonable time. We will then take reasonable steps to notify the person who posted it that the material has been removed, and pass along a copy of the notice, including the identity and contact details of the person who sent it, so they can respond if they wish. If you send us a notice, expect your name and contact information to be shared with the person whose material you asked us to remove.

4. Counter-Notification and Restoration

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the designated agent. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) it must include substantially all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will promptly forward it to the person who sent the original notice and tell them that we will restore the material in 10 business days. We will then restore it not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving your counter-notification, unless our designated agent first receives notice that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you from the activity in question.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

We have adopted, and we do implement, the following policy. It applies to everyone who participates in the Service, including creators listed on the site, members with access to the guild portal, and people posting in Slime Chat.

• Material removed under a valid takedown notice is recorded as a strike against the person who posted it, with the date and the notice that caused it.
• A strike is withdrawn if the material is restored following a counter-notification, or if the person who sent the notice retracts it.
• Anyone who accumulates three strikes has their participation terminated: the @creator role and any listing on the site are removed, access to the guild portal is revoked, and they are removed from the Discord server that the Service is built around.
• We may terminate participation before three strikes where the circumstances warrant it, for example a single deliberate or large-scale infringement, and we may decline to reinstate anyone terminated under this policy.
• We keep the strike record for as long as needed to apply this policy consistently.

This policy exists because 17 U.S.C. § 512(i) makes it a condition of the safe harbor that a service adopt, reasonably implement, and inform its users of a policy providing for termination of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. We would rather say plainly what we do than leave it vague.

6. Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, can be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, incurred by the other party or by us. Please do not use this process to remove criticism, to settle a dispute unrelated to copyright, or to take down something you do not actually hold the rights to.

7. What This Covers

This page covers material stored on the Service at the direction of users: Slime Chat messages, guild applications, and creator-submitted names and links. It does not cover live video. We do not host, re-encode, or rebroadcast any stream. Twitch content shown on slime.hq is served by Twitch through its own official embedded player and remains subject to Twitch's terms, so a complaint about a stream's content belongs with Twitch, not with us. Content in our Discord server is likewise subject to Discord's own reporting process, though we will act on our own community under the policy above.
