DMCA / Copyright Policy

SMF Archive respects the rights of creators and copyright owners. The site exists to preserve Super Mario Flash community history, but preservation does not mean ignoring valid ownership, attribution, privacy, or removal concerns.

If you believe content on SMF Archive infringes your copyright, misattributes your work, or should be reviewed for another rights-related reason, please contact us with the details below.

1. What to Include

To help us review your request, please include:

- The exact SMF Archive URL or location of the content
- A description of the copyrighted work, original level, profile, comment, image, or other material involved
- Your name and contact information
- Whether you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner
- What you are requesting, such as removal, correction, attribution review, or disabled access
- A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized or that the archive record is inaccurate
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate
- Your electronic or physical signature

If your request is about a legacy record from Pouetpu-games or Level Palace, please include any source information that helps verify the original creator, title, date, or location.

2. How to Submit a Request

You may submit a copyright or rights-related request through our Contact page or by emailing us directly.

3. What Happens Next

After receiving a request, we will review the information provided and may remove content, disable access, correct attribution, add archive context, ask for more information, or take other appropriate action.

Because SMF Archive preserves historical records, some issues may be handled through correction or contextualization instead of full removal when that approach better preserves accurate community history and does not violate rights.

We may notify the user who uploaded affected SMF Archive content or document moderation actions internally.

4. Counter-Notification

If your content was removed or disabled and you believe that action was a mistake, you may contact us with:

- Identification of the removed or disabled content and its previous location
- Your contact information
- A clear explanation of why you believe the action was incorrect
- Any source information supporting your claim
- A statement under penalty of perjury, where applicable, that you believe the removal was a mistake
- Your electronic or physical signature

5. Repeat Infringers and Abuse

Users who repeatedly upload infringing content or abuse the archive may have content removed and accounts restricted, suspended, or permanently banned.

False, misleading, or bad-faith reports may also be rejected or treated as abuse.
