Terms of Service

Last updated: February 2026

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 creating an account and using FanLock, you authorize FanLock LLC to act as your authorized agent for the purpose of identifying, reporting, and requesting the removal of infringing copies of your copyrighted content. This authorization takes effect upon account creation and remains in effect for the duration of your use of the Service.

Specifically, you grant FanLock the authority to:

  • Scan and monitor the internet, including but not limited to search engines, social media platforms, messaging services (such as Telegram), forums, file hosting services, and other websites, to identify unauthorized copies of your content.
  • Generate, sign, and submit DMCA takedown notices and other intellectual property enforcement requests on your behalf to any platform, hosting provider, search engine, internet service provider, payment processor, or other third party.
  • Communicate with third parties as your authorized representative in connection with the enforcement of your intellectual property rights.
  • Escalate enforcement actions through payment processors, CDN providers, hosting infrastructure providers, and domain registrars when initial takedown requests are not honored.

Privacy Protection: All DMCA takedown notices and enforcement actions 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 or communications with third parties.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the exclusive right to the content you ask us to protect, and that you have the legal authority to grant this authorization. You acknowledge that FanLock will act in good faith on your behalf and that takedown notices are legal documents filed under penalty of perjury.

You may revoke this authorization at any time by closing your account or contacting us at legal@fanlock.com. Revocation will not affect any actions already taken on your behalf prior to revocation.

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.
