DMCA Notice Policy
Last updated: . Everything below follows 17 U.S.C. §512.
1. Overview
This page explains how WordeG handles notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. §512. It also explains how we forward those notices to the upstream sites that actually host the indexed content.
Read this before you submit: if your notice does not include the elements required by §512(c)(3), we may disregard it (§6 below). The plain-English breakdown is in our §2257 compliance page , which already describes our indexer role.
2. Our Role: Indexer, Not Host
WordeG is a content indexer / aggregator. We do not host, store, upload, transmit, or own any of the videos or images shown on this site — see 18 U.S.C. §2257 — Compliance Statement for the full framing.
When we receive a valid DMCA notice for content indexed by WordeG, we take two steps:
- We remove (or disable access to) the WordeG URL — typically the same business day — so the page is no longer reachable on https://wordeg.com.
- We forward the notice to the upstream site where the content is indexed and hosted (today: javhd.icu; video streams typically come from turbovidhls.com). They have their own DMCA process and may need to act on their own copy independently.
Because step 2 depends on a third party, the realistic full resolution window is up to 72 hours, as detailed in §5. WordeG's own side of the chain is normally resolved the same business day; the upstream SLA is the part that varies.
3. Designated Agent
Our designated agent for service of DMCA notices is the following email mailbox. Until a formal designated-agent registration is filed with the U.S. Copyright Office (§512(c)(2)), this is the only channel we accept notices through.
dmca@wordeg.comThe mailbox is monitored daily. Postal address and phone details will be added here when the operating entity is registered and the formal §512(c)(2) filing with the U.S. Copyright Office is in place — at that point we'll also publish the agent registration number so submitters can verify it.
4. What Your Notice Must Contain
To be valid under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), a notice must contain all six of the following elements. If any are missing, we may disregard the request — see §6.
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list if the notice covers multiple works).
-
Identification of the infringing material with enough detail
for us to locate it — at minimum the full
https://URL on https://wordeg.com. - Contact information for the complaining party: postal address, telephone number, and email.
- A good-faith statement that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the above is accurate and that the submitter is the copyright owner or is authorised to act on behalf of the owner.

To: dmca@wordeg.com
Subject: DMCA notice — <URL on WordeG or upstream>
1) Signature
I, <YOUR FULL NAME>, <state your title / role — e.g. "counsel for the
copyright owner">>, hereby provide this notice under 17 U.S.C.
§512(c)(3).
[Physical or electronic signature]
2) Copyrighted work

or a representative list of such works if the notice covers multiple
items:
<DESCRIPTION — title, studio, release date, catalogue number, etc.>
3) Infringing material
URL(s) on WordeG that should be removed:
<https://wordeg.com/<TYPE>/<SLUG>/ — WordeG URL>
The same content is also indexed at the upstream site
(today typically: https://javhd.icu/<...>). You do not need to send
a separate notice to the upstream site; we forward valid notices.
4) Contact information for the complaining party
Name: <YOUR FULL NAME OR COMPANY>
Organisation: <YOUR COMPANY, if applicable>
Address: <YOUR STREET, CITY, STATE ZIP, COUNTRY>
Phone: <+1-xxx-xxx-xxxx>

manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its
agent, or the law."

6) Penalty-of-perjury statement
"I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this
notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am

[Optional but helpful for the upstream site:
• Link to the original product page on the studio's site
• Link to a public record of the catalogue number
• Statement of authority (C&D, distribution agreement, etc.)]
5. Our Process and 72-Hour Timeline
Our process for a valid notice, end-to-end:
- Receipt (day 0). We acknowledge receiving your notice within one business day, usually within a few hours. No acknowledgement means we didn't get it — please re-send to dmca@wordeg.com.
- Validation (day 0–1). We check the notice against the six elements in §4. If any are missing, we tell you which and ask for an amended notice — see §6.
- Action on our side (day 1). We remove or disable the WordeG URL, archive the page metadata for our own records, and prepare a forwarding copy of your notice.
- Upstream forwarding (day 1). We forward a redacted-but-complete copy of your notice to the upstream provider (today: javhd.icu). They act on their own schedule.
- Closure (within 72 hours). We close the ticket once our side is actioned and the upstream forwarding is confirmed. The end-to-end window — the realistic worst case — is 72 hours. Our side typically completes the same business day; the upstream portion is the variable.
6. Insufficient or Non-Conforming Notices
If your notice is missing one or more of the six elements in §4, or if you cannot demonstrate that you (or the person you represent) hold the rights claimed, we may disregard the request. The DMCA does not require us to investigate or curate defective notices; we exercise that latitude rather than acting on notices we cannot verify.
What we'll do in that case:
- Reply once with the specific element(s) that are missing or unclear.
- Give you one opportunity to amend and resubmit.
- If we still can't verify, close the request without taking action.
Submitting a notice without a good-faith basis, or with knowingly false statements, exposes you to liability under 17 U.S.C. §512(f) — see §9.
7. Counter-Notification
If we removed material in response to a notice and you believe that removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. §512(g). A valid counter-notification must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the removed material and where it previously appeared (the WordeG URL).
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification.
- 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 U.S., for any judicial district in which WordeG may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice.
On receiving a valid counter-notification, we forward it to the original complaining party. If they do not file a court action within 10–14 business days, we restore the removed material at our discretion.
8. Repeat Infringers
WordeG does not currently maintain user accounts, so the standard "terminate repeat infringers" account policy (§512(i)(1)(A)) does not have a direct application. We apply the same principle at the network level: individuals or operators who repeatedly submit baseless notices, or who use WordeG's DMCA process as a competitive / harassment vector, may have their submissions ignored and any associated IP addresses blocked.
9. Misrepresentations
Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the affected party. Be sure of the facts before filing; the same rule applies in reverse to counter-notifications.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the current version, and material changes will be called out near the top for at least 30 days.
