Game Faced draws its own jersey patterns and lettering, and we expect everyone else’s creative work to be treated with the same care. This page is for copyright owners and their representatives. It explains how to tell us that something on gamefaced.shop copies your copyrighted work, what a complete notice looks like, what we do once it arrives and how a person whose content was removed can respond. Trademark questions, such as a tag or squad name that uses a team’s or brand’s name, are handled under our Intellectual Property Policy instead.

Copyright notices at a glance

• Email support@gamefaced.shop with the subject line “Copyright notice”.
• Include the six elements listed in section 3; a notice missing one of them may not be actionable.
• We reply within 24 hours on business days to confirm we have your notice, and we remove or disable material that a valid notice identifies.
• People whose content was removed can send a counter-notification, as section 6 describes.
• Knowingly false notices can lead to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

1. What content lives on gamefaced.shop

It helps to know what the site actually contains before you write to us, because Game Faced is a single store selling its own designs, not a marketplace with outside sellers.

Content on the site and where it comes from

Content	Source
Role patterns: Breach, Bastion, Relay, Shift, Callout and Broadcast	Our own original designs
Jersey lettering for tags, numbers and squad names	Our own original lettering
Product images, drawn previews and the on-cam check views	Created for Game Faced
Product descriptions, guides and policy pages	Written for Game Faced
Reviews or other content posted by customers, where the site shows them	The customer who posted it
Artwork uploads	None: the store does not take artwork uploads

Because no customer can upload artwork, the only third-party material that could appear on our pages is text or images a customer posts in a review. The tags customers type are printed on the items they order. They are not published on the site.

2. Is this a copyright issue or something else?

Copyright protects creative works such as artwork, illustrations, photographs and longer pieces of writing. Short words and names, like a gamer tag, a squad name or a team name, are usually not protected by copyright; they may be protected as trademarks. Use this guide to pick the right route:

• Our product photo, pattern or page text copies your artwork, photograph or writing: this page.
• A review image posted on our site is your photograph: this page.
• A product, tag or squad name uses your game, league, team, org, platform or brand name or logo: our Intellectual Property Policy.
• A question about an order you placed: Contact Us.

If you are not sure which applies, send one email to support@gamefaced.shop explaining the situation and we will handle it under the right process.

3. What a complete copyright notice includes

This process follows the notice-and-takedown rules of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512. Your written notice must include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of a person authorised to act on the owner’s behalf. A typed full name at the end of the email counts as an electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. If several works are involved, a representative list is enough.
3. Identification of the material on our site that you believe infringes, with enough detail for us to find it. The exact URL of each page is the most useful.
4. Your contact information: name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.

Send the notice to support@gamefaced.shop with the subject line “Copyright notice”. Plain text in the body of the email is easiest for us to read. If you attach a file, please also paste the key details into the email itself.

3.1 What a strong notice looks like

Suppose an illustrator believes the corner-bracket shape on one of our Shotcaller jerseys copies a pattern from their portfolio. A notice that we can act on quickly would name the illustration and link to where it was first published, give the URL of our product page, describe which part of our image matches which part of theirs, include the two required statements and end with the illustrator’s typed name and contact details. A notice that only says “you copied my design”, with no link or work named, will usually lead to a reply asking for those details first.

3.2 Before you send it

• Check that the material is on gamefaced.shop and not on another site using a similar name.
• Consider whether the use might be allowed by law, for example fair use; the statute expects senders to consider this before claiming infringement.
• If you act for a company or an artist, say so and give your relationship to the rights owner.

4. What happens after your notice arrives

1. We confirm receipt. We reply within 24 hours on business days so you know the notice reached a person.
2. We check that it is complete. If an element from section 3 is missing, we tell you which one, so you can send it.
3. We act on a valid notice. We remove the identified material or disable access to it. If it is one of our own product images or patterns, we take the image or product down while we look into it.
4. We tell you the result. You receive an email confirming what was removed or disabled.
5. We inform the person who posted it. If the material came from a customer, for example a photo attached to a review, we tell that person it was removed and why. Where the law allows, we share a copy of the notice with your personal contact details withheld, unless you agree otherwise.

5. What we share and what we keep

We use the details in a notice only to handle the copyright claim. We keep a record of each notice, our response and any counter-notification, because the law expects us to apply a repeat-infringer rule and because the record may be needed if the matter goes further. Section 6 explains what a counter-notification shares with the original sender. Our Privacy Policy covers how we store personal information generally.

6. Counter-notification for content you posted

If something you posted on our site was removed after a copyright notice and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to support@gamefaced.shop with the subject line “Counter-notification”. It must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before it was removed.
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.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district where your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which Game Faced may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

When we receive a valid counter-notification, we forward it to the person who sent the original notice. We may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification, unless the original sender tells us first that they have filed a court action to stop the infringement.

7. False or careless claims

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Please send a notice or counter-notification only when you are confident in it. If you are unsure whether something infringes your rights, consider getting legal advice first.

8. Repeat infringement

We remove content posted by customers who repeatedly post infringing material, and where the store offers accounts, we may close the accounts of repeat infringers. Repeated claims against the same customer are reviewed together.

9. Notices about printed items, not just pages

Sometimes a concern is about a jersey, desk mat or arm sleeve itself rather than a picture of it, for example if you saw a Game Faced item at a LAN and believe its pattern copies your artwork. Send the same notice described in section 3, identify the product by its page URL or name, and describe what you saw. If a valid notice shows that one of our patterns copies a protected work, we stop offering that pattern while the matter is resolved, in addition to removing it from the site.

10. If you spot a copy of a Game Faced design

The same rules work in the other direction. If you see one of our role patterns, our lettering or our product images on another store, a marketplace listing or a social post presented as someone else’s product, we would like to know. Email support@gamefaced.shop with the subject line “Copy of a Game Faced design” and include:

• the link to the page where you saw the copy;
• which Game Faced product or pattern it appears to copy, with a link to our page if you have it;
• a screenshot, if the page might change or disappear.

You do not need to send the six formal elements for this kind of report; that is our job if we decide to file a notice with the other site. We may not be able to tell you the outcome of every report, but each one is read.

11. Senders outside the United States

We sell to customers in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and the site is run from the United States. Copyright owners anywhere can use the process on this page. If the law where you are has its own notice procedure, tell us which one you are relying on, and we will consider your notice under it as well.
