Introduction and Commitment to Copyright Protection
Orizoic (orizoic.xyz) is firmly committed to respecting and protecting the intellectual property rights of content creators, game developers, and copyright holders worldwide. We operate our HTML5 gaming platform in full compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998 and other applicable copyright laws and regulations.
This comprehensive DMCA Policy establishes clear procedures for addressing copyright infringement claims, outlines our responsibilities as a platform operator, and provides guidance for copyright holders who believe their intellectual property rights may have been violated on our platform. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward copyright infringement and take all legitimate claims seriously.
Our commitment extends beyond mere legal compliance – we actively work to foster an environment that respects creative work while providing users with legitimate access to entertaining HTML5 gaming content. We believe that protecting intellectual property rights is essential for supporting innovation and creativity in the gaming industry.
Understanding Our Platform and Content Structure
Platform Overview
Orizoic operates as an aggregation platform that curates and presents HTML5 games created by various third-party developers. Our role is primarily that of a hosting platform and content organizer, providing users with easy access to browser-based games from multiple sources.
Content Sourcing and Responsibility
Third-Party Game Content: The vast majority of games available on our platform are created by independent developers and game studios. These games are embedded on our platform through appropriate licensing agreements, permissions, or under applicable fair use provisions.
Platform Content: Our original content is limited to website design, user interface elements, game categorization systems, and descriptive text. We do not claim ownership of the embedded games themselves.
Copyright Ownership Clarification
Users and copyright holders should understand that:
- Individual games retain their original copyright ownership with their respective creators
- Orizoic does not claim copyright ownership over third-party games
- Copyright disputes regarding specific games should primarily be addressed with the original game developers
- Our platform serves as an intermediary that facilitates access to gaming content
