This DMCA & Intellectual Property Rights Policy explains how Go88 protects its own intellectual property rights and respects the intellectual property rights of others. We strictly comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and related intellectual property laws. Any act of infringement of copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights on the platform may result in the removal of the content and processing of the infringing account.

1. Go88’s Intellectual Property Rights

All content on the Go88 website (excluding user-generated content, if any) is owned or legally used by us. This content includes (but is not limited to):

• Brand: The name “Go88”, logo, slogans, symbols, and our other service marks. These brands are protected by trademark and unfair competition laws. You are not permitted to copy or use these marks for any commercial purpose without our express written consent. This also applies to domain names, product names, and related applications that could cause confusion with the Go88 brand.
• Interface and Design: The entire user interface, website layout, graphic design, icons, and images displayed on the platform. These components are protected by copyright and/or other intellectual property regulations. You are not permitted to copy or redistribute any part of the website interface for public reuse or commercial purposes.
• Textual Content: Includes articles, game descriptions, guides, documents, and any text drafted on the site by Go88 or its partners. This content is our copyrighted property or we have the legal right to use it. You may read, download, or print content for personal and non-commercial purposes. However, copying, modifying, or republishing all or part of the content for distribution (especially for business purposes) is strictly prohibited without our consent.
• Games and Software: The casino games, sports betting, RNG software, etc., on Go88 are provided by various leading game developers. Each game and software is protected by the copyright and/or patents of its respective owner. Go88 is granted the right to distribute and allow you to use the games on our platform. However, this does not mean that you own these games. Players are not permitted to reverse engineer, extract source code, create derivative products, or commercially exploit any game/software on Go88.
• Database: The data structure, collection of information regarding odds, results, player information, etc., that we compile is also protected. Any act of automated data collection (data mining, scraping) on a large scale without permission violates this policy and may be blocked or processed.

In summary, all intellectual property rights not expressly declared to belong to the user or a third party are automatically vested in Go88. We reserve all rights to this intellectual property. Your use of our platform does not transfer any intellectual property rights to you except for the limited right to use the services in accordance with the terms.

2. User-Provided Content

Go88 may allow users to create or post certain content on the platform (e.g., profile pictures, comments, reviews, or forum content, if any). Regarding any User-Generated Content (UGC), our policy is as follows:

• Your Rights: You retain the copyright and all intellectual property rights to the content that you create and post on Go88 (unless it is the intellectual property of a third party). However, by posting content on the platform, you agree to grant Go88 a worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid, sublicensable, and irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, display, and perform that content within the scope of our services.
• Your Responsibility: When posting content, you must ensure that you have the legal right to share that content. The content you create must not copy the work of others without permission. The content must not violate the privacy, publicity, or other personal rights of others. The content must not contain material that violates the law or ethical standards, including: content inciting hatred, racial discrimination, illegal pornography, defamation, or infringing upon the rights of others. You must also not post unauthorized advertising, marketing, or spam content.
• Control and Removal: Go88 is not legally responsible for user-posted content; however, we reserve the right to censor, edit, or remove any UGC on the platform that we deem to violate intellectual property rights, policies, or the law. Censorship may occur before or after the content is posted, depending on the case.
• Notice and Reporting: If you discover content posted by other users that appears to violate copyright or policy, please notify us via info@go88.hm. We will review and take appropriate action.

3. DMCA Policy – Copyright Infringement Takedown Notice

We adhere to the notice and takedown procedure under the DMCA for copyright infringement claims. If you are a copyright owner (or an authorized agent) and believe that any content on Go88 infringes the copyright of your work, please send us a written Copyright Infringement Notice. The Notice must comply with DMCA requirements, including:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
• Identification of the infringing material on our website that you wish us to remove or disable access to (specific URL or sufficient information).
• Your contact information: including your name, address, telephone number, and email address so that we may contact you.
• A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will promptly investigate and remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. We will notify the user who posted the content (if possible) that their content has been removed pursuant to the DMCA notice. If appropriate, we may terminate the account of users who are repeat infringers in accordance with our policy and the law.

You may send DMCA notices to the Go88 DMCA Designated Agent at the following contact information:

Email: info@go88.hm (subject line must read: "DMCA Takedown Request").

Mailing Address: Legal Department - DMCA, Green Stream Technology B.V., Zuikertuintjeweg Z/N, Curaçao.

We encourage submission via email for faster processing.

4. Counter-Notification

If you are a user whose content has been removed due to a DMCA notice, and you believe that your content does not infringe copyright, you may send us a DMCA Counter-Notification to request restoration of the content. The Counter-Notification must be in writing and include:

• Your physical or electronic signature (the account holder/content poster).
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location where the material appeared before it was removed (e.g., URL).
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you are outside the United States, that you consent to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original copyright infringement notification to us.

Send the Counter-Notification to our DMCA Designated Agent (using the contact information above, email is preferred). Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notification, we will send a copy of the Counter-Notification to the original copyright complainant, informing them that we may restore the removed material within 10 business days unless we receive notice from the complainant that they have filed a court action.

If the complainant does not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order against you, we will restore the content (e.g., repost the material) within approximately 10-14 business days of receipt of the Counter-Notification.

5. Repeat Infringers and Sanctions

Go88 has a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are found to be repeat copyright infringers in appropriate circumstances. A “repeat infringer” is generally understood to be a user who has been notified of copyright infringement two or more times. We will track and maintain a record of DMCA notices and the resulting actions.

In addition, acts infringing other intellectual property rights (not just copyright) may also lead to sanctions, including content removal, warnings, account suspension, and possible legal action.

6. Fair Use and Exceptions

Go88 respects the principle of fair use under copyright law and other legal exceptions. If you believe that your use of the allegedly infringing content actually falls within the scope of fair use or is permitted, please clearly state that in your Counter-Notification as guided in section 4.

We review each case based on context and current legal regulations. Our goal is to protect the legitimate rights of content owners while not unduly affecting the freedom of speech and creativity of users.

7. Additional Information

• Links and Third-Party Content: The Go88 platform may contain links to third-party websites or content. We do not control the content of those sites and are not responsible for any intellectual property violations that occur on third-party websites. Users must adhere to the terms of those sites when accessing them.
• Third-Party Software: Some games or applications on Go88 may utilize third-party software (e.g., plugins, open-source libraries). We comply with relevant licenses (such as GPL, MIT, etc.) and provide copyright/license information in the “About” section or in a note accompanying the game if required. If you believe that any third-party software component has not been properly acknowledged, please inform us.
• Training and Awareness: We train our technical staff and administrators on the importance of adhering to intellectual property rights, both in product development and content operation. Any employee who seriously violates the IP policy will face internal disciplinary action.

This DMCA & IP Policy aims to establish a clear legal framework to protect the rights of all parties. If you have further questions about intellectual property rights on Go88, please contact our Legal Department via info@go88.hm. We will endeavor to respond as soon as possible.
