What happens after we receive your notice
Within 2 business days
We acknowledge receipt and assign a reference number.
Within 72 hours
Valid notices are processed. Affected records are removed from the Timpi index.
Notification
We notify the source publisher so they may file a counter-notice if they choose.
Counter-notification
If you believe content was removed in error or as a result of misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. A valid counter-notice under §512(g) must include:
- Identification of the removed material and its previous location
- A statement under penalty of perjury that removal was the result of mistake or misidentification
- Your name, address, telephone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of US federal court
- Your physical or electronic signature
If we receive a valid counter-notice and the original complainant does not file suit within 10–14 business days, we will reinstate the affected material.
Repeat infringer policy
Under §512(i), Timpi maintains and enforces a repeat infringer policy. Domains or accounts that are the subject of multiple valid DMCA notices may be permanently excluded from the Timpi index and blocked from future crawling.
We track DMCA notices against each domain in our internal audit log. Three valid notices within a twelve-month period typically results in exclusion. We exercise discretion in applying this policy where good-faith circumstances warrant.
