ADOFAI.NET respects intellectual property rights and takes copyright infringement seriously. This page explains how to report infringing content and what happens after a report is filed.

Trademark Notice

ADOFAI and A Dance of Fire and Ice are trademarks of 7th Beat Games. ADOFAI.NET is an independent fan community site and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by 7th Beat Games in any way.

What ADOFAI.NET Hosts

ADOFAI.NET is a fan-created community platform. We store:

  • Map metadata only — title, artist, difficulty, BPM, tile count.
  • Links to Steam Workshop — we do not host or distribute map files (.adofai). All download links point directly to Steam Workshop pages operated by Valve.
  • User-provided cover images — uploaded by community members.
  • Community records and comments — user-submitted gameplay data.

We do not host, distribute, or reproduce copyrighted music, game assets, or level files directly.

How to File a Copyright / DMCA Takedown Request

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized agent) and believe that content on ADOFAI.NET infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to:

legal@adofai.net

Report a Specific Map

To report a specific map on ADOFAI.NET for a copyright issue, you can:

  • Click the "Report" button on any map detail page. This opens a pre-filled email to our legal team with the map ID included.
  • Email legal@adofai.net directly with the map URL and a description of the issue.

Upload Terms & Responsibilities

When you upload a map to ADOFAI.NET, you agree that:

  • You are the creator of the level, or you have explicit permission from the creator to share it.
  • The music used in the level is either licensed for use, used with permission, or qualifies as fair use under applicable law.
  • You will not upload content that infringes on the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of any third party.
  • You understand that ADOFAI.NET may remove your submission at any time in response to a valid copyright claim or at our discretion.
  • You will provide a Steam Workshop link as the download source — ADOFAI.NET does not host map files directly.

Repeat infringers may have their accounts suspended or terminated.
