TorpedoWeb LLC: DMCA Policy

Last Updated: March 9, 2026

TorpedoWeb LLC ("TorpedoWeb," "we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our website, services, and systems to do the same. This DMCA Policy describes how we respond to claims of copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA"), and how you may submit a takedown notice or a counter-notification.

1. Designated DMCA Agent

We have designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement. All DMCA notices and counter-notifications must be sent to:

TorpedoWeb LLC
DMCA Designated Agent
8 The Green, Suite B
Dover, Delaware, USA 19901
Email: hello@torpedoweb.org

Communications sent to any other address or email may not be processed in a timely manner. For fastest processing, email is preferred, with the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice" or "DMCA Counter-Notification," as applicable.

2. Our Compliance with the DMCA

TorpedoWeb complies with the DMCA and, where applicable, relies on the safe harbor provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 512. We will respond to valid takedown notices that substantially comply with the statutory requirements and will process counter-notifications in accordance with the DMCA. We reserve the right to remove or disable access to content that we believe in good faith infringes copyright, and to terminate in appropriate circumstances the accounts of repeat infringers.

3. How to Submit a Takedown Notice (Notification of Claimed Infringement)

If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf and believe that content on or through our Services infringes your copyright, you may send a written notification to our Designated Agent that includes all of the following (as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

  1. Physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works).
  3. Identification of the material that you claim is infringing and that is to be removed or disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., URL, page path, or other specific description).
  4. Your contact information: your address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Example format (for reference only):

  • "I am the copyright owner of [describe work] / I am authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner of [describe work]."
  • "The infringing material is located at: [URL or specific location]."
  • "I have a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
  • "The information in this notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury I am authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner."
  • Your full name, mailing address, phone number, and email.

We may not be able to act on notices that are incomplete or that do not substantially comply with the above. We may forward the notice (including your contact information) to the user who posted the content and/or to third parties as required or permitted by law.

4. What Happens After We Receive a Valid Takedown Notice

Upon receipt of a takedown notice that substantially complies with the DMCA, we will:

  • Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material promptly.
  • Take reasonable steps to notify the user who provided the content that we have removed or disabled access to it.
  • In appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

We may also restore the material if we receive a valid counter-notification (see Section 5) and the copyright owner does not file a court action within the applicable period.

5. Counter-Notification (If Your Content Was Removed)

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to our Designated Agent. To be valid under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)), your counter-notification must be in writing and must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, for any judicial district in which TorpedoWeb may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or an agent of such person.

Where to send: Use the same contact details as in Section 1 (Designated DMCA Agent), with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notification."

After we receive a valid counter-notification: We may forward it to the party who submitted the original takedown notice. Under the DMCA, we may replace or re-enable the removed content in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification, unless our Designated Agent first receives notice from the original complaining party that they have filed a court action to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the content on our system or network.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

In appropriate circumstances, TorpedoWeb will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We may also limit or terminate access to our Services for users who repeatedly post content that we reasonably believe infringes the intellectual property rights of others.

7. Misrepresentation

The DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Please ensure that your takedown notice or counter-notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner (for takedown notices) or that you have a good faith basis (for counter-notifications).

8. Governing Law

This DMCA Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to this Policy or our handling of DMCA notices shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions (including arbitration and venue) set forth in our Terms of Service.
