Who to write to

Send notices to hello@notsmallsteps.store with the subject line Takedown. Please write in English or Chinese.

What this site actually hosts

This site does not host the Bardbeat game file, its music or its artwork. The game runs inside an iframe served by play.gamepix.com, so the game itself is hosted by GamePix and belongs to its developer, suedogaming. What this site does host is its own writing, its own page design and two graphic assets: a site icon and a social sharing image, both made in the visual style of the page.

What a notice needs

1. The work you own, and how you are authorised to act for it.
2. The exact address on this site where the disputed material appears, one URL per item.
3. What the problem is: for example an image you did not license, a passage copied from your text, or a trademark used in a way you object to.
4. Your name, an email address you actually read, and a phone number if you want one used.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised, and that the information in the notice is accurate.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Incomplete notices usually cannot be acted on, so please include all six.

What happens next

A complete, specific notice is reviewed and the disputed item is removed or replaced within five business days. We will reply to the address you gave to confirm what was done. If the complaint concerns an image on this site, that image is replaced with our own artwork rather than the page being taken down. If it concerns the game itself, we will remove the embed from this site, since we have no ability to change the game.

If you think a removal was wrong

The same address accepts counter notices. Say which item was removed, why the use was legitimate, and give your contact details; the item can be restored while the two sides work it out.
