Sportsurge Online respects intellectual property rights and expects content published or displayed through the website to be used appropriately.
This Copyright & DMCA Policy explains our approach to original material, third-party content, trademarks, embedded media, and copyright-related notices.
Copyright in Sportsurge Online Content
Unless otherwise stated, original articles, written guides, editorial material, website graphics, branding, and other original content created for Sportsurge Online are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual-property laws.
Visitors are welcome to link to publicly available Sportsurge Online pages and make ordinary personal use of the website.
However, you should not copy and republish substantial portions of our original articles, reproduce the website as another publication, remove attribution from our original material, or commercially redistribute our content without permission or another lawful basis.
Sports Facts and Information
Sportsurge Online may report factual information such as schedules, scores, results, statistics, team names, player names, competition details, and event information.
Our copyright claims do not extend to facts that are not protected by copyright.
However, the original written expression, organization, analysis, graphics, and presentation created by Sportsurge Online may be protected even when an article discusses publicly available facts.
Third-Party Copyright
Sportsurge Online does not claim ownership of copyrighted material belonging to leagues, teams, athletes, photographers, broadcasters, video publishers, news organizations, or other third parties.
When third-party material is referenced or used, we aim to do so only where we have an appropriate basis, such as permission, licensing, authorized embedding, or another use permitted by applicable law.
Ownership of third-party material remains with its respective rights holder.
Trademarks
Names and trademarks associated with sports leagues, teams, competitions, athletes, broadcasters, streaming services, products, and other organizations may appear on Sportsurge Online for identification, commentary, reporting, or informational purposes.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Sportsurge Online is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by these third parties.
All third-party trademarks, logos, and service marks remain the property of their respective owners.
Images
Images published on Sportsurge Online should have an appropriate basis for use.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include original images, properly licensed material, media made available for authorized editorial use, public-domain material, or another legally permitted use.
The fact that an image can be found through a search engine does not by itself mean that the image is free to reuse.
If you believe an image appearing on Sportsurge Online infringes copyright that you own or are authorized to represent, please contact us using the procedure below.
Embedded Videos and Media
Sportsurge Online may occasionally embed videos or other media through functionality made available by third-party platforms.
An embedded video remains hosted by the applicable third-party service rather than becoming a video file hosted by Sportsurge Online merely because a player appears on one of our pages.
Availability, playback, removal, advertising, privacy practices, and other aspects of embedded media may be controlled by the applicable platform or rights holder.
We intend to use embedded material only where embedding has been made available through an appropriate platform or where we otherwise have a reasonable basis to display it.
No Unauthorized Sports Streams
Sportsurge Online is an informational and editorial sports website.
We do not operate an unauthorized live sports streaming service and do not intend to host pirated copies of sports broadcasts.
If you believe material accessible through Sportsurge Online improperly infringes rights in a sports broadcast or other protected work, you may submit a detailed copyright notice for review.
Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you are a copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of one and believe material on Sportsurge Online infringes your rights, please submit a copyright notice through our Contact Us page.
To help us properly identify and review the matter, your notice should include:
- Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed
- The exact Sportsurge Online URL where the material appears
- A clear description of the material at issue
- Your name and appropriate contact information
- An explanation of your relationship to the copyright owner if you are acting as a representative
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law
- A statement that the information provided in your notice is accurate
- Your physical or electronic signature, where required
Please provide enough information for us to locate and assess the specific material rather than sending a general request concerning an entire website or broad category of content.
Review of Notices
When we receive a sufficiently detailed copyright complaint, we may review the identified material and the information supplied with the notice.
Depending on the circumstances, we may remove or restrict access to material while a claim is being investigated or after we determine that action is appropriate.
Receiving a complaint does not automatically establish that infringement has occurred. We may request additional information when necessary to understand or verify a claim.
Misidentification and Good-Faith Notices
Copyright notices should be submitted carefully and in good faith.
Before requesting removal, please make reasonable efforts to confirm that you own or are authorized to represent the relevant rights and that the material you identify is actually the material at issue.
Knowingly submitting materially false or misleading claims may have legal consequences.
Counter-Notifications
If content is removed in response to a copyright notice and an affected party believes the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification, applicable law may provide a process for submitting a counter-notification.
Any counter-notification should contain the information required under the law applicable to the particular request.
Because legal requirements can vary, parties involved in a formal copyright dispute may wish to obtain independent legal advice.
Repeat or Serious Infringement
Where applicable and appropriate, Sportsurge Online may take action concerning repeated or serious copyright infringement associated with material under our control.
The appropriate response will depend on the circumstances and the technical features available on the website.
Content Hosted by Third Parties
Some Sportsurge Online pages may link to or embed material hosted by independent third-party services.
If the material itself is hosted entirely by another provider, that provider may have its own copyright reporting procedure and may be in a better position to remove the underlying material from its service.
Where appropriate, rights holders may also contact the platform actually hosting the disputed content.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Copyright & DMCA Policy as the website, our publishing practices, or applicable requirements change.
When material changes are made, the “Last updated” date may be revised.
