Terms of service
Updated
These terms apply when you message us, send a request or ask us to work for you. In short: we find your leaks and file notices in our own name as your agent, but we can’t promise that every site will take the material down.
What we do
DMCA CLEAN finds copies of leaked content on websites, in Google and on Telegram: photos, videos, stream recordings, personal data, fake accounts and deepfakes. We file takedown notices under the DMCA and similar procedures with the site, its host and Google, and check every link after the notice.
We file notices in our own name as your authorized agent. The service is provided by DMCA CLEAN.
We are not a law firm
DMCA CLEAN is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. Working with us doesn’t make us your lawyers, and we don’t represent you in court. For a legal opinion or to take a case to court, you need an independent lawyer.
We are not affiliated with Google, Telegram or any other platform and don’t act on their behalf.
Who can use the service
You must be 18 or older. We work with models, agencies and studios that own the rights in the content or are authorized to act for the rights holder. An agency gives us an authorization from each model; a studio gives us documents showing its rights in the catalogue.
Minors
We don’t take on material that shows anyone under 18, under any circumstances. Report it to NCMEC at takeitdown.ncmec.org. If intimate images of an adult were shared without consent, that person can add them to StopNCII.org themselves, free of charge, so that partner platforms can detect copies.
How the work goes
- You message us on Telegram or send a request from this site.
- We agree the scope and price with you in chat.
- You give us your authorization and confirm your rights in the content. Our Notice policy lists what we need.
- We search for copies, file notices, check every link after the notice and tell you what happened to it.
Your authorization
Your authorization lets us file notices about the material it covers. It states whose rights we protect, which material and where. You can revoke it at any time by messaging us. After that, we file no new notices about your material.
What we need from you
- Give us accurate information, and tell us if anything changes, for example if the rights in the content pass to someone else.
- Ask us to file only about material whose rights belong to you or to the person you act for.
- Confirm that everyone shown in the material was 18 or older.
- Don’t use the service to remove lawful content: criticism, reviews, news, court documents or other people’s material.
If a claim is brought against us because of inaccurate information you gave us, including a claim under §512(f) of the DMCA, you will cover our resulting costs to the extent the law allows.
Prices and payment
Checking a username is free. Urgent help under the Safety Fund is free if the images were never sold; we confirm in chat whether your case qualifies. Other work is paid once, per leak found. The price depends on the number of models and on how many leaks are found in each category: face-search sites, Google images, pirate sites and search queries. Discounts are shown in the calculator.
The calculator on this site gives an estimate. We agree the exact price, scope, payment method and timing with you in chat before work starts, and we start once you confirm. Urgent help is a one-off package with a fixed price and scope, shown on this site and also confirmed in chat. Refund terms are agreed in the same chat, before work starts.
What we can’t promise
Whether material comes down is decided by the site, host or search engine, not by us. Platforms respond differently, and some don’t respond at all. A link hidden from Google search can still work on the site itself. Removed copies sometimes reappear. So we don’t promise removal, timing, or that copies won’t come back. We answer for our part: finding copies, filing notices and checking every link.
On Telegram, notices can only be filed about public channels, groups and bots. Telegram doesn’t act on reports about private chats.
If a notice is disputed
The uploader can file a counter-notice. If they do, the law lets the content go back up unless the owner goes to court, and a court case usually needs your legal name. Under the DMCA this can happen 10 to 14 business days after the counter-notice. We tell you before that point, and nothing is filed in your name without your written OK.
Confidentiality
We tell only the platforms we file notices with, and the services listed in our Privacy policy, that you are our client. Platforms may forward a notice to the uploader, and Google sends copies of notices to the public Lumen database. We don’t publish your case without your written consent.
Refusing or stopping work
We may refuse or stop work if information is inaccurate, the rights are in doubt, there are signs of abuse, the material shows anyone under 18, or these terms are broken. You can stop the work at any time by messaging us. How we settle up in that case follows what we agreed in chat.
Liability
We are responsible for doing our part of the work in good faith. We are not responsible for what sites, hosts, search engines or other platforms decide or do. To the extent the law allows, our liability is limited to the amount you paid for the work concerned.
Disputes
If something goes wrong, message us and we will try to sort it out in writing. If we can’t agree, the dispute is resolved under the applicable law. Nothing in these terms limits the rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country.
Changes
We may update these terms. A new version appears on this page and doesn’t change what we have already agreed for work in progress. This version replaces all earlier ones.
