DMCA Copyright Policy
Digital Millennium Copyright Act compliance and takedown procedures
Last updated: August 30, 2025
Copyright Protection Commitment
Terabox Downloader respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and will respond promptly to valid copyright infringement notices. This policy outlines our procedures for addressing copyright concerns and the steps content owners can take to protect their intellectual property rights when using our service.
1. Our Role as a Service Provider
1.1 Service Function
Terabox Downloader operates as an intermediary service that processes publicly shared Terabox URLs to generate direct download links. We want to clarify our role and limitations:
- We do not host, store, or upload any copyrighted content
- We do not have direct control over content available on Terabox
- Our service processes links to content that is already publicly shared
- We act as a technical intermediary, not a content platform
Important Distinction
While we facilitate access to Terabox content, the actual files remain hosted on Terabox's servers. Copyright holders should also consider contacting Terabox directly for content hosted on their platform.

- Responding promptly to valid DMCA takedown notices
- Implementing reasonable measures to prevent repeat infringement
- Educating users about copyright responsibilities
