DMCA Takedown Notice
Effective from 18 May 2026 - Version 1.0
1. About This Notice
ToRun respects intellectual property rights. We respond to valid Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notices and equivalent notices under EU and UK law (including the EU CDSM Directive and the UK CDPA). This page explains how to submit a takedown notice and how to file a counter-notice.
2. Designated Agent
DMCA notices may be sent to our designated agent:
- Email: [email protected] (preferred)
- Postal: ToRun Designated Agent, c/o Legal, [registered address on file with the U.S. Copyright Office]
3. What a Valid Takedown Notice Must Include
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a complete notice must contain:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g., a registration number, URL to the original work, or a sufficiently detailed description).
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it (URL on ToRun, or blog post slug).
- Your contact information — name, mailing address, phone, email.
- A good-faith statement that the use is not authorized.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act for the owner.
4. Counter-Notice
If you believe your content was removed by mistake, you may file a counter-notice that contains:
- Your signature.
- Identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
- Your contact information and consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal court in your district (or, if outside the U.S., the Southern District of New York).
We forward valid counter-notices to the complainant. If they do not file a court action within 10-14 business days, we restore the content.
5. Repeat Infringer Policy
We terminate the accounts of users determined to be repeat infringers. We use the strikes model: three confirmed infringements within twelve months results in permanent suspension.
6. False Notices
Knowingly false notices may result in liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Submit responsibly.
7. Non-DMCA Claims
Trademark, defamation, privacy and other non-copyright claims should be sent to [email protected] rather than the DMCA agent.
