Terms of Use

Effective date: August 15, 2026

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using ImageClaimResponse.org (the “Site”) or downloading its materials, you accept these Terms of Use. If you do not accept them, do not use the Site.

2. Educational purpose only — not legal advice

The Site provides general educational information about copyright notices, technical evidence, oEmbed, social previews, caching, news aggregation, and potential defenses. It is not legal advice, does not determine whether any particular use is lawful, and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer who knows your facts and jurisdiction.

3. No attorney-client relationship

No attorney-client relationship is created by using the Site, reading its content, downloading its templates, or generating a draft with its tools. The Site’s operators are not your lawyers and do not represent you.

4. No guarantee of outcome

No guarantee is made that any template, checklist, argument, or approach described on the Site will succeed, apply to your situation, or protect you from liability, fees, or deadlines. Copyright, contract, evidence, fair-use, safe-harbor, and procedural rules vary by jurisdiction and by facts.

5. Your responsibility

• Customize, fact-check, and verify every generated or downloaded document before using it.
• Do not miss a court, Copyright Claims Board, subpoena, or response deadline while investigating.
• Retain only factual statements your own records actually support.
• Obtain qualified legal review before sending a response, making admissions, paying a demand, filing a counter-notice, or relying on a defense.

6. Independence and no affiliation

The Site is an independent educational resource. It is not affiliated with any claimant, copyright owner, rights-enforcement representative, platform, publisher, or law firm, and it does not accuse any person or organization of misconduct.

7. Licensing of Site content

Original educational content and templates are licensed under CC BY 4.0. Original HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and configuration are licensed under the MIT License. Third-party photographs, logos, trademarks, quoted third-party text, and linked material are excluded from those grants. See the license file for details.

8. Prohibited misuse

Do not use the Site or its templates to make false statements, conceal or destroy evidence, harass or threaten anyone, publicly accuse a person or organization without reliable evidence, evade valid legal obligations, or ignore formally served legal process.

9. Third-party links and material

The Site links to statutes, court opinions, specifications, and government resources operated by third parties. Those resources may change or move, and their operators are solely responsible for their content and policies.

10. No warranty

The Site and its materials are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, currentness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Law changes; content may be outdated at any time.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Site’s operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, the Site or its materials. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be updated. The effective date above reflects the latest revision, and continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
