  3. Identification of the infringing material and its location on CheatBay (URL)
  4. Your contact information (name, address, phone number, email)

3. Counter-Notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was done in error, you may file a counter-notice including:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and its prior location
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If no court action is filed within 10-14 business days, we may restore the content.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

CheatBay maintains a repeat infringer policy:

  • First offense: Content removed, seller notified
  • Second offense: Content removed, seller given a formal warning
  • Third offense: Account permanently terminated

CheatBay reserves the right to terminate accounts with fewer strikes in cases of egregious or willful infringement.
