Copyright Policy

You retain any copyright and other rights you hold in your original drawings, written contributions, and uploaded music. Posting your work to Drawn to Battle does not transfer ownership to us. Only submit material you created or have permission or another lawful basis to use.

Our ownership statement does not grant you rights in somebody else’s characters, logos, artwork, recordings, or compositions. A hand-drawn copy, a trace, or an AI-assisted recreation is not automatically free of third-party rights. Copyright exceptions depend on the particular use and applicable law.

When you submit content, you give Drawn to Battle a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, host, reproduce, resize, display, and process it for the service. This includes thumbnails, fighter and item pages, AI character interpretation, battles and replays, community displays, and the game’s sharing and export features.

For equipment, the service can display in-game replicas or items you share through community features to other players, with the game’s attribution where provided. These mechanics do not transfer your copyright or give other players a general license to sell your artwork.

We may use service providers to carry out these functions. This permission is limited to operating and delivering the service and its sharing features; it is not a blanket license for unrelated commercial use. See the Terms of Use for the content license and deletion limitations.

You may use the game’s sharing tools and share links to public creations and replays. Downloading or viewing another player’s drawing does not by itself give you permission to republish, sell, license, or claim it as your own. Obtain permission from the relevant rights holder when your use requires it.

The site’s original branding, interface artwork, writing, and other materials belong to their respective rights holders unless a separate license says otherwise. Open-source components and third-party assets remain subject to their own licenses. No blanket Creative Commons or public-domain license applies to everything on this site.

Generated character text, traits, or other AI-assisted output may not qualify for exclusive copyright protection in every jurisdiction. We do not promise originality, exclusivity, or clearance for uses outside the game. Third-party names and trademarks do not imply sponsorship or endorsement.

If you own a work, or are authorized to act for its owner, and believe material on Drawn to Battle infringes it, email hello@drawntobattle.com. Include:

1. Your name and a reliable contact email, and whether you are the owner or an authorized representative.
2. A description of the original work and a link or other information that identifies it.
3. The exact Drawn to Battle URL for each drawing, item, post, or other material you are reporting.
4. An explanation of the disputed use and why you believe it is unauthorized.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the rights holder or authorized to act for them, along with your typed or electronic signature.

Provide enough information to locate the material and evaluate the issue. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information. A report may need to be shared with the uploader or relevant providers to investigate and resolve it.

This email is our copyright-contact route. It is not presented here as a registered DMCA designated agent. Formal legal notices may have additional requirements; see the U.S. Copyright Office’s notice-and-takedown resources.

We review reports and may ask for clarification, restrict access to disputed material, remove it, or take action against accounts that repeatedly infringe rights. A report does not automatically prove infringement, and content may also be removed under our community rules.

If your content was restricted and you believe the decision was mistaken, reply to the notice or email hello@drawntobattle.com. Identify the content, explain your rights or permission, and include supporting information. Do not repost removed material while the dispute is being reviewed.

An informal appeal is not necessarily a statutory counter-notification. If a formal legal process applies, its requirements and timing govern. We cannot promise immediate restoration, decide ownership disputes between parties, or remove copies stored by unrelated websites or individuals.

Copyright reports should concern rights in creative work. For harassment, private information, or other safety concerns, follow the community reporting guidance.
