Spritefetch Copyright and DMCA Policy

Draft, not reviewed by an attorney.

Last updated: October 19, 2026

Spritefetch is a sole-proprietor project run by the project owner. We respect the rights of creators. The assets in the library come from third-party public sources that state a license (currently CC0-1.0). Users don't upload assets. If you believe an asset infringes your copyright, or was offered under a license its source didn't have the right to grant, tell us using the process below.

1. How to send a copyright notice

Send a written notice to the address in section 2. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)), your notice should include:

Your signature, physical or electronic, as the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for them.
The work you claim is infringed. Describe the copyrighted work. If there are several, a representative list is fine.
The asset. Identify the material on Spritefetch, ideally by asset id (for example, asset_xxxxxxxxxxxx), version number, and asset page or file URL.
Your contact details. Name, postal address, phone number, and email address.
A good-faith statement. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
An accuracy statement. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for them.

If you knowingly misrepresent that material is infringing, you may be liable for damages (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)). If you're unsure whether something infringes, consider talking to a lawyer first.

2. Where to send notices

Send copyright notices, takedown requests, and counter-notices by email to support@spritefetch.com, with the subject line "Copyright notice" (or "Counter-notice").

We have not registered a designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office at this time.

3. What happens next

We aim to acknowledge your notice within 5 business days and to act on a complete notice promptly.
If we remove an asset, we mark that asset version as rejected. Its file URLs then return "410 Gone", and the asset no longer appears in search or in API and MCP results. Removal applies even to pinned, versioned URLs.
We may keep a minimal record of the removed asset (a "tombstone") so that existing links explain why the file is gone.
We may let the source or other affected parties know about the removal, where we can reach them.

4. Counter-notices

If you believe an asset was removed by mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the address in section 2. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), it should include:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the removed asset (asset id, version, and URL) and where it appeared before removal.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the asset was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Your name, postal address, and phone number.
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 the project owner 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-notice, we may forward it to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us they have filed a court action, we may restore the asset in 10 to 14 business days.

5. Other problems

For issues that aren't copyright claims, such as a trademark or publicity concern, a wrong license or author, or a credit that suggests an endorsement, email support@spritefetch.com with the asset id and a description of the problem. We'll review it and may remove or correct the asset.

6. Changes

We may update this policy. We announce changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
