Copyright & DMCA Policy

Last Updated: [4/9/26]

ROMsSBR respects the intellectual property rights of copyright owners, creators, developers, publishers, and other rights holders, and expects the same from our visitors and contributors. This policy explains how we handle copyright-related concerns regarding material published on romssbr.com.

1. Independent Website

ROMsSBR is an independent gaming information website. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or officially connected with Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, Creatures Inc., or any other rights holders referenced on this site. Third-party names, trademarks, game titles, characters, logos, and other intellectual property belong to their respective owners. References to third-party intellectual property are made for identification, informational, editorial, and educational purposes.

2. Original ROMsSBR Content

Unless otherwise stated, original articles, written explanations, guides, comparisons, editorial organization, and other materials created for ROMsSBR belong to ROMsSBR or the applicable content owner. Unauthorized reproduction, republication, substantial copying, automated scraping, redistribution, or commercial exploitation of our original content is not permitted without prior written consent.

3. Third-Party Intellectual Property

ROMsSBR may discuss or reference third-party games, brands, characters, artwork, trademarks, and other intellectual property. Such intellectual property remains owned by the respective rights holders at all times. ROMsSBR does not claim ownership of third-party games, franchises, trademarks, or other copyrighted materials merely because they are discussed, reviewed, or referenced on our website.

4. Removal of Infringing Material

ROMsSBR responds to clear and properly documented notices of alleged copyright infringement in a manner consistent with the DMCA and applicable international copyright frameworks. Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will investigate promptly and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the material identified.

Submitting a complaint does not automatically guarantee removal; we may request clarification when necessary to evaluate a claim properly.

7. Good-Faith Complaints and Misuse

Copyright complaints should be submitted only by the copyright owner or an authorized representative. Knowingly false, fraudulent, or misleading claims may result in denial of the request and, where applicable, may carry legal consequences for the submitting party under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

9. Repeat Infringers

ROMsSBR reserves the right, in appropriate circumstances, to restrict, remove, or terminate access for contributors or accounts associated with repeated copyright infringement.

10. ROM-Related Informational Content

ROMsSBR publishes informational content concerning games, gaming history, compatibility, versions, and related subjects. Discussing or identifying a game does not mean ROMsSBR owns or claims rights to the underlying intellectual property. Visitors are solely responsible for ensuring that their own use of any third-party software or copyrighted material complies with applicable law and the rights of the relevant copyright owner. Nothing on this site authorizes copyright infringement.

11. External Websites

ROMsSBR may reference external websites, developer pages, repositories, or other third-party resources. Those websites operate independently of ROMsSBR. We do not control and cannot guarantee the copyright status, accuracy, availability, or content of external websites. Copyright owners with concerns about externally hosted material should also contact the operator of that website directly.

12. Trademark Notice

All third-party trademarks, logos, game titles, character names, and brand names referenced on ROMsSBR remain the property of their respective owners. Their use here is solely to identify and discuss the relevant subject matter, and does not imply any ownership claim or affiliation.

13. Policy Updates

ROMsSBR may update this policy periodically to reflect changes to our practices or applicable legal requirements. The most recent version will always be published on this page with the updated date.
