Help > GameFlood Copyright Policy
GameFlood was built from the ground up as the place to find and publish the best new playable content for your favorite games. It's not a peer to peer network which allows users to anonymously trade other people's work, or a web site that attracts viewers by enabling trafficking in pirated material. GameFlood creates the market where copyright holders of digital media can use Internet based distribution similar to the peer to peer model and profit from it.
Because our marketplace is based on the remuneration of copyright holders, we respect all copyright laws in the United States and internationally. Members submitting content to GameFlood have warranted that they are the copyright holders, or authorized agents of the copyright holders, for all content submitted. Violations of this warranty will not be tolerated by GameFlood, and typically will result in the permanent expulsion of the person who submitted the work. In some cases, a second chance for the seller to publish will be granted, at GameFlood’s discretion, based on the character of the infringement. In all cases, repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated from the system.
Where any product has a disputed copyright, GameFlood will withhold any revenue due to the seller for sales of the product. Such revenue will be remitted to the legitimate copyright owner once that is determined.

Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and that is to be removed. GameFlood also needs information reasonably sufficient to locate the material, but in no event less than: product name, submitting member name, file size, and date submitted.
