SnowRider.pro respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all users and content providers associated with our platform to do the same. This page explains our policy under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, how to submit a valid takedown notice, how we respond to infringement claims, and what rights are available to those who believe their content was removed in error.
SnowRider.pro operates as a free browser gaming platform. We are committed to respecting intellectual property rights and complying fully with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512. This law provides a framework through which copyright owners can request the removal of infringing content from online platforms, and through which service providers can obtain protection from copyright liability when they respond to those requests appropriately.
This DMCA Policy applies to all content accessible through the SnowRider.pro domain, including any games, images, text, and other media hosted directly on our servers. It also describes our relationship to third-party content that is embedded or linked from our platform but hosted externally.
If you believe that any content on SnowRider.pro infringes upon a copyright that you own or are authorized to enforce, this document explains exactly how to notify us, what information we need, and what steps we will take in response. We take all valid infringement notices seriously and act on them promptly.
Note: This policy covers copyright infringement claims under the DMCA. For other legal matters including trademark disputes, defamation claims, or privacy concerns, please contact us directly at [email protected] with a description of your concern.
Under the DMCA, online service providers who comply with the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512 are entitled to a "safe harbor" that limits their liability for copyright infringement committed by users or through the content they host. SnowRider.pro seeks to qualify for and maintain this safe harbor protection by adhering to the following obligations:
Compliance with these provisions is not merely a legal formality for us. It reflects our genuine commitment to building and maintaining a platform that respects the creative work of others and operates within the boundaries of applicable law.
Understanding what content we actually host is important before submitting a DMCA notice, as it determines where a valid notice should be directed and what actions we can take in response.
Content that we host directly on our own servers includes the website's HTML, CSS, JavaScript, page text, descriptive copy, game metadata, thumbnail images displayed in our game listings, and structural page elements. We have full control over this content and can add, modify, or remove it in direct response to a valid DMCA notice.
The games featured on SnowRider.pro are, in most cases, hosted on third-party servers and displayed on our platform through embedded HTML iframes. This means that the actual game files, code, assets, audio, and visual content associated with each game reside on external servers that we do not own or operate. We do not have the technical ability to modify or delete files that live on third-party servers.
For content of this type, the appropriate course of action is to submit a DMCA notice directly to the third-party host where the content actually resides. We are happy to assist in identifying the source URL of embedded content if you contact us, and we will also remove our own iframe embed link upon receiving a valid notice, which will prevent the content from being displayed on our pages even if it remains accessible at its original source.
Practical Guidance: If you see a game on our website that you believe infringes your copyright, please check the source URL of the embedded content. If it resolves to a domain other than snowrider.pro, that third-party host is the primary responsible party and should also receive a DMCA notice. We will still respond to your notice by removing our embed link upon verification.
A DMCA takedown notice, also called a "Notice of Alleged Infringement," is a formal legal communication submitted to a service provider requesting the removal of content that allegedly infringes upon a copyright. To be valid and actionable under the DMCA, a notice must satisfy specific statutory requirements outlined in 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).
We take DMCA notices seriously and act on them promptly. However, we are also legally required to ensure that notices meet the minimum statutory requirements before acting. Incomplete or defective notices may cause delays. We strongly encourage you to review the required elements in the following section before submitting.
Important: Submitting a DMCA notice is a legal act. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly and materially misrepresenting that content is infringing when it is not can expose you to significant civil liability including damages, court costs, and attorney fees. Please ensure your claim is accurate before submitting.
To be valid and actionable under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following elements as specified in 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). Missing or incomplete elements may result in your notice being returned to you or delayed while we request clarification.
Tip: Copyright registration is not required to submit a DMCA notice. Copyright protection exists automatically from the moment an original work is created. However, if your work is registered, including the registration number in your notice can help us verify your ownership more quickly.
We accept DMCA takedown notices by email. This is the fastest and most reliable method. Please send your complete notice, including all required elements described above, to our designated DMCA agent at the address below.
Designated DMCA Agent
Email: [email protected]
Website: snowrider.pro
Subject Line: Please use the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice" followed by a brief description of the content so we can route your message appropriately.
To ensure your notice is processed as quickly as possible, please verify before sending that all six required elements are present, that all URLs are accurate and functional, and that your contact information is current. Notices that are missing required elements or contain inaccurate URLs may result in delays.
We recommend retaining a copy of your notice and any correspondence for your records. Once your notice is submitted, you will receive a confirmation of receipt within a reasonable timeframe and we will communicate any follow-up questions or actions to you at the email address you provide.
Not for General Inquiries: The DMCA contact above is designated exclusively for copyright infringement notices. For general questions, advertising inquiries, game requests, or technical issues, please use the same email address with a clearly different subject line.
Upon receipt of a DMCA notice that satisfies all of the required statutory elements, we will take the following steps:
We aim to respond to all valid DMCA notices within 5 to 10 business days of receipt. In some cases, particularly those involving complex fact patterns or third-party content, resolution may take longer. We will keep you informed of the status of your notice throughout the process.
If content you posted or are responsible for has been removed from SnowRider.pro in response to a DMCA takedown notice, and you believe the removal was made in error or that you have the legal right to use the content in question, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).
A counter-notification is a formal legal communication that, if valid, can result in the restoration of the removed content. However, submitting a counter-notification also has legal consequences. It initiates a legal process in which the original notifying party has 10 to 14 business days to file a lawsuit to prevent restoration of the content. If no lawsuit is filed within that window, we may restore the content.
A counter-notification must contain all of the following elements as specified in 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):
Please send your counter-notification to our designated DMCA agent at [email protected] with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notification."
Legal Warning: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly and materially misrepresenting in a counter-notification that material was removed by mistake or misidentification can expose you to civil liability, including damages, court costs, and attorney fees. Only submit a counter-notification if you have a genuine, good-faith belief that the removal was erroneous.
If we receive a valid counter-notification that satisfies all of the requirements described in the previous section, we will proceed as follows under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2):
We do not have the authority or the obligation to adjudicate the underlying copyright dispute between the parties. Our restoration of content following a valid counter-notification is not a finding that the content is non-infringing. It is simply compliance with the procedural framework established by the DMCA.
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), SnowRider.pro has adopted and reasonably implemented a policy to address repeat copyright infringers. This policy is a prerequisite for maintaining DMCA safe harbor protection and reflects our genuine commitment to respecting intellectual property rights.
We track all valid DMCA takedown notices received and the parties associated with the content identified in those notices. A party who is the subject of multiple valid DMCA notices over time will be considered a repeat infringer under our policy.
Consequences for repeat infringers may include, depending on the nature and frequency of the infringement:
Our repeat infringer policy applies consistently and without exception. We do not distinguish between individual users and commercial entities when applying this policy. Any party that repeatedly submits infringing content to our platform through whatever mechanism will be subject to escalating consequences up to and including permanent removal from our platform.
The DMCA expressly provides that any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that content is infringing, or who knowingly and materially misrepresents that content was removed by mistake or misidentification, is liable for any resulting damages, including costs and attorney fees, incurred by the affected party, the alleged infringer, copyright owners, or authorized licensees as a result of the misrepresentation.
This liability provision at 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) exists to deter the misuse of the DMCA process as a tool for censorship, competitive harassment, or other bad-faith purposes. The DMCA is intended to protect legitimate copyright interests, not to suppress lawful speech or to weaponize legal process against competitors or critics.
We take false and abusive DMCA notices extremely seriously. If we determine that a notice was submitted in bad faith, we reserve the right to:
If you are uncertain whether the content you have identified is actually infringing your copyright, we encourage you to consult with a qualified intellectual property attorney before submitting a DMCA notice. Fair use, licensed content, and content that is independently created or in the public domain are not infringements, and submitting a notice against such content could expose you to liability.
SnowRider.pro is primarily a curation and hosting platform for browser-based games. We do not develop, program, or own the majority of the games featured on our website. In most cases, games are developed by independent developers and studios, hosted on third-party servers, and embedded on our platform via HTML iframes so that users can play them without leaving our website.
This structure is common throughout the browser gaming industry and is analogous to how video platforms embed content hosted on third-party servers or how social media platforms display content uploaded by users. We are a downstream distributor and displayer of third-party content rather than the primary host in most cases.
Even for embedded content that we do not directly host, we take copyright concerns seriously. Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice relating to embedded content:
For the most comprehensive and effective resolution of a copyright concern, we strongly recommend submitting DMCA notices to both SnowRider.pro and the third-party server that hosts the actual infringing content. You can typically identify the hosting server by inspecting the iframe source URL associated with the game. We are happy to assist you in identifying the relevant hosting party if you contact us with the URL of the page where the content appears on our website.
We reserve the right to update, modify, or revise this DMCA Policy at any time, without prior notice, to reflect changes in applicable law, our platform operations, or our internal procedures. All changes take effect immediately upon posting to this page. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will reflect when the most recent revision was made.
We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed of our current DMCA procedures. Continued use of SnowRider.pro following the posting of any changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes as they relate to the DMCA process.
If you have questions about a specific version of this policy or wish to confirm the current procedures before submitting a notice, please contact us at [email protected] before submitting.
All DMCA takedown notices, counter-notifications, and related copyright inquiries should be submitted to our designated DMCA agent. Our designated agent is responsible for receiving, reviewing, and acting upon DMCA-related communications on behalf of SnowRider.pro.

This contact is designated for DMCA-related matters only. For all other inquiries including general questions, game suggestions, advertising, or technical feedback, you are welcome to use the same email address with a clearly different subject line and we will route your message appropriately.
Thank you for helping us maintain a platform that respects the intellectual property rights of developers, artists, and all creators whose work makes the browser gaming space possible. We are committed to handling all DMCA matters fairly, promptly, and in full compliance with applicable law.
