Terms of Service

Last updated: February 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the FanLock website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use our services.

2. Description of Service

FanLock provides automated content protection services, including monitoring the internet for unauthorized use of your content and issuing DMCA takedown notices on your behalf.

3. Authorization & Agency

By using our service, you expressly authorize FanLock to act as your limited agent ("Authorized Agent") for the specific purpose of enforcing your intellectual property rights. This includes:

  • Scanning and identifying potential infringements of your content.
  • Generating and signing DMCA takedown notices on your behalf using your stage name only.
  • Sending these notices to service providers, search engines, and hosts.

Privacy Protection: All DMCA takedown notices are filed using your stage name (performer name), NOT your real legal name. FanLock appears as the authorized agent, protecting your personal identity. Your real name, home address, and personal contact information are never disclosed in takedown notices.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the exclusive right to the content you ask us to protect.

4. User Responsibilities

You agree not to:

  • Use the service to harass others or submit false DMCA claims.
  • Provide false or misleading information about your content ownership.
  • Share your account credentials with unauthorized third parties.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

FanLock uses advanced proprietary technology to identify and remove content. However, we cannot guarantee:

  • 100% removal of all infringing content (as compliance depends on third-party platforms).
  • That our scans will find every single instance of infringement on the internet.

The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, FanLock shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of the service.

7. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account at our sole discretion, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms of Service or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties, or for any other reason.
