This page explains how copyright complaints work for Recap Raven. It is provided for general information, is not legal advice, and applies to the Service as offered during our private beta, “as is”. Recap Raven is operated by Agile Outpost (“Agile Outpost”, “we”, “us”), a sole trader established in the United Kingdom. If you need legal advice, please consult your own legal advisor.
How Recap Raven handles content
Recap Raven turns recordings of your own tabletop role-playing sessions, or transcripts you paste in, into player-safe recaps and game-master notes. Most of what the Service produces is private — visible only to you and the group you choose to share it with inside the app. However, a game master can choose to make a recap or set of notes accessible to others, for example through an unlisted share page or by posting it back to a Discord channel, or by opting into public Campaign Showcase. Because the Service can host material that a game master makes accessible to people outside their group, we operate the notice-and-takedown process described below.
We respect copyright
We respect the intellectual property rights of others and ask our users to do the same. You are responsible for the recordings and transcripts you submit and for any material you choose to make accessible to others. If you believe that material made accessible through Recap Raven infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, you can ask us to remove it using the process below, and we will act promptly once we have a valid notice.
As a UK-established service, we operate this process consistently with our obligations under United Kingdom law, including the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and the retained Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002. We also welcome notices from rightsholders anywhere in the world, and we have set out the information we ask for in a way that is familiar to rightsholders in the United States and elsewhere. Using this process does not waive any rights you may have under the laws of your own country.
How to file a copyright notice
Send your notice to our copyright contact (details below). To let us act on it quickly, please include all of the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature, as the owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed. If several works are involved, a representative list is acceptable.
- Identification of the material you say is infringing, and enough information for us to find it — ideally the exact URL of the share page or item, or other details that let us locate it.
- Your contact information — your name, and an address, telephone number, and email address where we can reach you.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright. Rightsholders familiar with the US process may make this statement under penalty of perjury.
Please send accurate notices only. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation that material is infringing can expose the sender to liability — under United States law, for example, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). We may forward a copy of your notice, including your contact details, to the user who submitted the material.
Where to send notices
- Email (channel of record): copyright@recapraven.com
- Discord: you can also reach us through our Discord server. Please use email for formal notices, as that is the address we monitor for this purpose.
What happens next
When we receive a valid notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material in question, and we will take reasonable steps to notify the user who submitted it. We do not decide who owns a copyright or whether a particular use is lawful; we process notices and counter-notices and leave the underlying dispute to the parties and, where necessary, the courts.
Counter-notice
If your material was removed or disabled and you believe that was a mistake or that the material was misidentified, you may send us a counter-notice. Please include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before it was removed.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification. Rightsholders familiar with the US process may make this statement under penalty of perjury.
- Your name, address, and telephone number.
Please understand that, where the original complaint came through the US-style process, we may be required to forward your counter-notice, including your contact details, to the person who filed the original notice, and that person may then have a limited period in which to seek a court order before any material is restored. We will tell you if and when this applies to your situation.
Repeat infringers
It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances, to terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright. We may also remove material or suspend access at any time where we reasonably believe it is necessary.
A note on game content
Many sessions reference commercial published adventures, rulebooks, or settings. Recapping or paraphrasing your own play is generally different from reproducing a publisher’s text, but we cannot give you legal advice about your particular situation. If you are a rightsholder concerned about a specific shared recap, please use the notice process above and we will act on it.
