DMCA Policy

1. Overview

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (Title 17, United States Code, Section 512), ToroAds has adopted a policy of responding expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement. If you believe that content accessible through our platform or services infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notification to our Designated DMCA Agent as described below.

Upon receipt of a valid and complete notice, we will take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material, notifying the responsible party, and/or terminating the accounts of repeat infringers.

2. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner (or an authorized agent acting on behalf of a copyright owner) and believe that material available through our platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our Designated Agent. Your notice must be in writing and include the information outlined in Section 3 below.

You may send your notice via email or postal mail to the addresses listed in Section 8.

3. Notice Requirements

To be effective under the DMCA, your takedown notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, you may provide a representative list.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, along with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., URL or specific description).
4. Your contact information, including your name, mailing 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 owner of the copyright that is allegedly infringed.

4. Filing a Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you posted was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our Designated DMCA Agent. Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we may restore the removed material in accordance with the DMCA, unless the copyright owner files a court action seeking to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity within 10 business days of receiving a copy of the counter-notification.

5. Counter-Notification Requirements

Your counter-notification must be in writing and include all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was 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 of the material.
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 your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which ToroAds may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.

6. Repeat Infringers

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, ToroAds has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the accounts of visitors who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to our platform and/or terminate the accounts of any visitors who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Factors we consider when determining repeat infringement include, but are not limited to:

• The number of valid DMCA notices received regarding the user
• The nature and severity of the alleged infringement
• Whether the user has filed valid counter-notifications
• Any other relevant circumstances at our discretion

7. Good Faith & Misrepresentation

Please be aware that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, 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 subject to liability for damages. If you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you contact an attorney before sending a DMCA notification.

ToroAds reserves the right to disregard notices that do not substantially comply with DMCA requirements and may, at our discretion, request additional information before processing any notice or counter-notification.

8. Designated DMCA Agent

All DMCA takedown notices and counter-notifications should be sent to our Designated Agent at:

We aim to acknowledge receipt of all DMCA notices within 2 business days and to take appropriate action within 5–10 business days of receiving a complete and valid notice.
