Legal

Terms of Service

Operator: Rulta OÜ ("Rulta", "we", "us"), the company behind DMCA.ai. Contact: [email protected]. Effective date: 12 August 2026.

By accessing or using DMCA.ai (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. What DMCA.ai is

DMCA.ai is a free educational resource, published by Rulta, that explains how to file DMCA takedown notices and pursue the removal of infringing, leaked, or otherwise unauthorized content, platform by platform and site by site. It includes guides, site-specific removal reports, and a free notice generator tool.

2. Not legal advice

Everything on the Site is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Please see our Disclaimer for the full statement and further information. You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy and good faith of any notice before you submit it, including any notice prepared using the Site's notice generator tool.

3. Acceptable use

You may use the Site only for lawful purposes and read, share, and use the guidance on the Site to pursue takedowns of content in which you own, hold or otherwise represent the relevant rights or are authorized to act on behalf of the relevant rights holder. You may not use the Site to violate any applicable law, harass or abuse any person, or submit notices that you know to be false or misleading.

4. No scraping or automated bulk extraction

The removal data on the Site (takedown contacts, hosting and origin-host mappings, compliance assessments, de-indexing statistics, and the compiled index of sites) is a proprietary database compiled from Rulta's enforcement operations at significant cost. We reserve all rights in that database, including any applicable copyright, database, and sui generis rights.

You may not, and may not permit others to:

  • use automated means (crawlers, scrapers, bots, headless browsers, or similar technologies) to extract, harvest, copy, or index the Site's content for bulk collection or to build, train, improve or enrich a competing database, dataset or service;
  • systematically download, reproduce, republish, or redistribute the Site's compiled data, whether in whole or in substantial part; or
  • circumvent, or attempt to circumvent, any rate limiting, access control, or other technical measure that protects the Site.

For clarity, we welcome AI assistants and search engines that comply with our robots.txt to access and index the public pages of the Site in order to fulfill the purposes of discovery and citation. Such permitted indexing does not grant any right to copy, store, redistribute, or otherwise use the Site's compiled database in bulk.

Automated access in breach of this section is unauthorized, and we reserve the right to implement technical measures to prevent such access and to pursue any available legal remedies under applicable copyright, database-rights, or other applicable laws.

5. Intellectual property

The Site and its contents, including its guides, text, design, graphics, layout, notice generator, and compiled data are owned by Rulta or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws, including copyrights and database-rights. Except as expressly permitted by Rulta, no part of the Site may be copied, reproduced, distributed, or used without our prior written permission. Platform names, logos, and trademarks referenced on the Site are the property of their respective owners and are used solely for identification and informational purposes. Their use does not imply any affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship.

6. Third-party sites

The Site contains links to third-party websites and services that we do not own or control. We are not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of those third parties, and linking to them does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation. For additional information regarding third parties, please see our Disclaimer.

7. No warranty

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, completeness, currency, fitness for a particular purpose, or availability. The information on the Site, including removal contacts, procedures, compliance assessments and statistics change constantly and may be incomplete, inaccurate, or out of date.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Rulta and its officers, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, data, or goodwill arising out of or relating to your use of, inability to use, or reliance on the Site. Nothing in these Terms excludes any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

9. Changes

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time as the Site evolves, to reflect changes to DMCA.ai, applicable law, or our services. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated to you by the new effective date, unless otherwise is required by applicable law. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms. We encourage you to review this Terms of Service periodically to stay informed and up to date.

10. Availability of the Site

We may modify, suspend, discontinue, or remove any part of the Site, including any guide, feature, or functionality, at any time and without prior notice. We do not guarantee that the Site, or any part of it, will always be available or uninterrupted.

11. Suspension or termination of access

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Site, in whole or in part, without prior notice, if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms, attempted to interfere with the operation or security of the Site, or otherwise acted in a manner that may harm Rulta, the Site, or other users.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Rulta, its officers, employees, affiliates, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or any notice or other material you prepare, submit, or send using information or tools provided by the Site.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable by the competent authority, then that provision shall be deemed severable and shall be subject to limited interpretation, modification, or be directly eliminated from these Terms to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, to the extent permitted by law, and will not affect the validity, legality and enforceability of any remaining provisions, which shall remain in full effect.

14. Entire agreement

These Terms of Service, together with our Disclaimer, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Rulta regarding your use of the Site and supersede any prior understandings relating to the same subject matter.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Estonia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of that jurisdiction shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction on any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable mandatory law.
