Termsof Service

By accessing or using the Fanlock website and services (the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.

Fanlock provides automated content protection services, including internet monitoring for unauthorized use of your content and DMCA takedown submissions on your behalf.

By creating an account and using Fanlock, you authorize Fanlock LLC to act as your authorized agent to identify, report, and request removal of infringing copies of your content.

Privacy protection applies to all enforcement actions: notices are filed using your stage name, and Fanlock appears as authorized agent.

• Scan and monitor search engines, social media platforms, messaging services, forums, file hosting services, and other websites for unauthorized copies.
• Generate, sign, and submit DMCA notices and related IP enforcement requests on your behalf.
• Communicate with third parties as your representative in connection with IP enforcement.
• Escalate unresolved cases through payment processors, hosts, CDNs, domain registrars, and infrastructure providers.

You represent and warrant that you own the copyrighted content submitted for protection or have explicit written authorization from the copyright owner.

You acknowledge that false or misleading takedown notices may create legal liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

If a target submits a DMCA counter-notification, Fanlock forwards it to you. You decide whether to pursue additional legal action. Fanlock does not provide legal advice.

Services are provided on a reasonable-efforts basis. Fanlock does not guarantee detection of all infringement, specific removal outcomes, or fixed removal timelines.

You grant Fanlock a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to process submitted content solely to provide Services, including detection, takedown generation, and enforcement support.

You may not submit or reference content that:

• Depicts minors in sexual, suggestive, or exploitative contexts.
• Contains non-consensual intimate imagery.
• Depicts trafficking or exploitation.
• Violates applicable laws on age, consent, or depiction.

You agree not to:

• Submit false claims or use the Service for harassment.
• Provide misleading ownership information.
• Attempt to interfere with service integrity or abuse automated systems.
• Use Fanlock to target lawful content or non-infringing third parties.

Fanlock may suspend or restrict accounts involved in abuse, fraud, repeated policy violations, or legal non-compliance.

Competitors and their representatives may not access, test, scrape, benchmark, or reverse engineer Fanlock systems without prior written consent.

You agree to keep non-public technical, operational, and business information about Fanlock confidential.

Paid plans renew automatically unless canceled before renewal. Fanlock may update pricing with notice where required by law.

If payment fails, Fanlock may retry billing, suspend account features, or limit enforcement actions until payment is resolved.

You are responsible for all taxes and governmental charges related to your use of paid Services unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Except where required by law, subscription fees are non-refundable and non-creditable once billed.

Improper chargebacks may result in account suspension, debt recovery, and permanent restrictions on future use.

Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Fanlock is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from Service use.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Fanlock and its affiliates from claims arising from your content, account activity, or breach of these Terms.

Any claim arising out of these Terms or the Services must be brought within one year after the claim arose unless a longer period is required by law.

Either party may terminate use of Services at any time. Fanlock may terminate immediately for violations, abuse, fraud, or legal risk.

Accounts terminated for abuse, fraud, or severe policy breaches may not be reinstated.

After termination, account data may be deleted per retention rules, except data required for legal, billing, anti-fraud, or dispute defense purposes.

Sections regarding payment, confidentiality, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, disputes, and other terms that by nature should survive will remain in effect after termination.

Disputes should first be submitted to Fanlock support for informal resolution. Unresolved disputes are subject to the governing law and venue terms below.

These Terms are governed by applicable U.S. law and controlling state law provisions. Venue for disputes is in the applicable courts designated by Fanlock’s operating jurisdiction.

Fanlock is not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control, including infrastructure outages, legal restrictions, cyber incidents, or third-party platform actions.

Fanlock may investigate suspicious activity, misuse, and violations of these Terms and may cooperate with lawful requests from regulators and law enforcement.

Fanlock may monitor service performance, anti-abuse signals, and account behaviors to maintain reliability, security, and legal compliance.

Fanlock may share limited, necessary information with platforms, hosts, registrars, payment processors, and related providers to complete enforcement actions.

Fanlock may create anonymized or aggregated statistics for service analytics, benchmarking, and product improvement, provided no personal identity is disclosed.

You agree to comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws and confirm you are not using Services in violation of those laws.

By using Services, you consent to receiving electronic communications, notices, and disclosures from Fanlock via email or in-app channels.

Integrations and dependencies on third-party platforms are provided on an as-available basis, and Fanlock is not responsible for third-party service changes or outages.

Fanlock may update these Terms periodically. Material changes become effective on posting or as otherwise notified.

If any provision is unenforceable, remaining provisions continue in full force. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

Fanlock may use analytics and advertising technologies to measure usage, campaign attribution, and performance optimization in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
