DRAFT — ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED BEFORE PUBLISHING
This is contract text, not marketing copy. Strategy §8.12 requires it to be binding and incorporated by reference into both the terms of service and the master service agreement. Counsel to confirm incorporation language, the enforceability of the termination-without-refund remedy, and the survival clause.
What this service may never be used to do.
This is a binding term of your agreement with us, not a statement of values. It is incorporated by reference into the terms of service and into the master service agreement, and breaching it ends the relationship.
We publish it in full because a takedown capability pointed at the wrong target does real harm, and the only honest thing to do is publish the safety rules.
§1 — Definitions
"We", "us", "Leak Cleaner" means FOUNDER: entity legal name, doing business as Leak Cleaner.
"You", "the client" means the person or entity that has entered into a service agreement with us, and any person acting on that party's behalf or using its account.
"A notice" means any takedown notification, delisting request, platform report, or statutory removal request that we prepare, sign, or send.
"The depicted person" means the identifiable individual appearing in the material a notice concerns.
"Verified" means an identity check completed through our onboarding process, with a recorded determination.
§2 — The three rules that govern everything else
Rule 1. We file only for the verified depicted person, or for a verified rights holder acting with that person's documented authority.
We do not file a notice at the request of a third party who is neither. We do not accept a roster from an agency on the agency's assertion of rights alone. Each model on an agency roster signs her own authorization through a magic-link flow, or the agency supplies the executed management agreement containing the relevant clause, reviewed before activation.
Rule 2. This service is never used to remove material for a reason other than the depicted person's own rights in it.
Specifically, and without limitation, a notice may not be requested in order to conceal, suppress or destroy evidence, to remove journalism, criticism, commentary, review or research, to remove a public record, to suppress a person's account of their own experience, or to interfere with any investigation or proceeding.
Rule 3. Nothing we produce may be used to identify, locate, contact, threaten, harass or retaliate against any individual.
Evidence archives, URL logs, page captures and reports are produced for the purpose of removal and for use by your own attorney. They are not a research product about people.
§3 — Prohibited uses, in full
You will not use the service, any deliverable, or any account, to:
- Request, procure or attempt to procure a notice concerning material in which you do not hold rights and are not the depicted person.
- Misrepresent your identity, your rights, your age, or the identity of any depicted person.
- Submit material involving any person who was under 18 at the time of creation. This is an absolute prohibition with no exception and no cure period.
- Submit material depicting any person who has not consented to its creation, other than material of yourself that you are seeking to have removed.
- Conceal, destroy, or suppress evidence, or interfere with any investigation, proceeding, or regulatory process.
- Remove or suppress commentary, criticism, review, news reporting, research, or a public record.
- Identify, locate, dox, contact, threaten, harass, stalk, defame, or retaliate against any person, including any uploader, any site operator, and any other creator.
- Impersonate any person, or request a removal on the basis of an impersonated identity.
- Sell, licence, sublicence, resell, or redistribute any deliverable, report, evidence archive or dataset, except under a written reseller agreement with us.
- Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security, verification, or rate-limiting control on our systems.
- Access, or attempt to access, another client's data.
- Use the service in violation of any applicable sanctions, export control, or anti-money-laundering requirement.
- Use any deliverable in a manner that would cause us to make a statement we know to be false, including any sworn statement in a notice.
§4 — What you warrant, every time you submit anything
Each time you submit material, a URL, or a request, you represent and warrant that:
- You are the depicted person, or you hold the rights and the depicted person's documented authority.
- Every depicted person was at least 18 years of age at the time of creation.
- You have disclosed every collaboration, work-for-hire, licence, assignment and management agreement that could affect ownership of the material.
- You have a good-faith belief that the use complained of is not authorized by you, your agent, or the law.
- The purpose of your request is removal of material in which you hold rights or in which you are depicted, and no other purpose.
Those warranties are continuous. If any of them stops being true, you tell us within 5 business days.
§5 — Our refusals, published
We refuse the following without exception. These are not negotiable at any price or on any tier.
- Any request involving a person who was under 18. Preserved, reported to the NCMEC CyberTipline, escalated to outside counsel the same hour, relationship terminated.
- Any request to remove non-consensual material of a third party on behalf of someone who is not that person.
- Any request to rebuild, replace or restore an account terminated for abuse, harassment, or fraud. No rebuild, no refund, immediate termination.
- Any impersonation of any person.
- Any request that we file, respond to, or advise on a counter-notification.
- Any request for advice about your situation, your contract, your rights, or your options.
- Immigration matters of any kind, at any stage, including characterizing one.
- Criminal, family, and custody matters.
§6 — What happens when this policy is breached
| Trigger | Consequence |
|---|---|
| A single credible report or internal flag | Immediate suspension of notice dispatch on the affected account, pending review. We tell you the same business day. |
| A substantiated breach of §2, §3(1), §3(5), §3(6) or §3(7) | Termination of the service agreement, retraction of every pending notice filed on your instruction, no refund of the current period. |
| Any breach of §3(3) or §3(4) | Immediate termination, preservation of records, report to the appropriate authority, no refund, no further communication other than as required by law. |
| A second substantiated breach of any provision | Termination. We do not re-onboard a terminated account under a different name, and attempting that is itself a breach. |
| A pattern of requests that fail our fair-use screen | Account review. Persistent patterns end the relationship. |
We retract on our own initiative. If we conclude a notice we filed on your instruction should not have been filed, we retract it in writing to every party that received it, within 2 business days of that conclusion, whether or not you agree.
We keep a log of every suspension, termination and retraction for as long as this company exists. That log is our own record under § 512(f) and it is not deleted at your request.
§7 — Reporting a breach of this policy
Anyone may report a suspected breach, including people who are not clients.
Write to FOUNDER: abuse email. Acknowledged within 1 business day, answered within 5 business days.
If a notice we filed removed your material, the dispute route is faster and it is a separate page.
If we filed a notice against you, start here →
§8 — Incorporation, changes and survival
This policy is incorporated into the terms of service and the master service agreement by reference and forms part of each.
We may update it. Material changes are notified by email at least 15 days before they take effect, and every prior version is archived and available on request. Continuing to use the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
Sections 3, 4, 5, 6 and this section survive termination.
