Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: Updated 8 September 2026

Website: AudioReclaim (audioreclaim.com)

Operator: "AudioReclaim", "we", "us", or "our"

1. Acceptance of Terms

By subscribing to, accessing, or using AudioReclaim, you ("the Client", "Author", or "Publisher") agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the service.

2. Nature of Service (Not Legal Advice)

AudioReclaim is an automated intellectual property monitoring, digital workflow, and administrative notification tool. AudioReclaim is not a law firm and does not provide legal representation or legal advice. Our services consist of technical scanning, metadata indexing, and issuing automated administrative copyright takedown notices under relevant copyright frameworks (such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act / DMCA and the EU Copyright Directive).

3. Appointment of Limited Agency

By providing your author name, pen name, titles, and catalogue links, you expressly appoint AudioReclaim as your non-exclusive, authorised agent solely for the purpose of:

  • Scanning, identifying, and indexing potentially infringing copies of your audiobooks and literary works on third-party digital platforms (including YouTube).

  • Preparing, signing, and submitting DMCA takedown notices, platform copyright strikes, and content removal requests on your behalf under penalty of perjury.

  • Interfacing with platform copyright systems (such as YouTube Content ID administrators) to claim, monetise, or block infringing audio as instructed by your plan settings.

You retain 100% of your underlying intellectual property, copyright ownership, and master recording rights at all times.

4. Warranty of Ownership & Authorised Rights

You warrant and represent that:

  • You are the sole copyright owner of every title registered with AudioReclaim, or you hold an exclusive, valid written licence that includes enforcement rights.

  • No details submitted are fraudulent, deceptive, or intended to disrupt a competitor's legitimate listings.

  • You will immediately notify AudioReclaim if your rights in any submitted work are transferred, reassigned, or expired.

5. Indemnification for Bad-Faith or Erroneous Claims

Under international copyright law (including 17 U.S.C. § 512(f)), submitting knowingly false or bad-faith takedown notices carries statutory liabilities.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AudioReclaim, its founders, operators, and affiliates against any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and legal fees arising out of or related to:

  • Any takedown notice or claim issued by AudioReclaim in reliance upon your registered catalogue or representations of ownership.

  • Any disputes regarding title ownership, narrator contracts, licensing restrictions, or public domain status.

6. Third-Party Platforms & Counter-Notifications

AudioReclaim issues notices in compliance with platform standards. However:

  • We cannot guarantee that third-party platforms (including YouTube) will process, accept, or act upon any takedown notice within a specific timeframe.

  • If an uploader submits a formal DMCA Counter-Notification, AudioReclaim’s automated role ends. We will forward the counter-notice to you. Deciding whether to file federal or formal court proceedings to maintain the removal is solely your responsibility and cost.

7. Subscription, Billing & Renewals

  • Recurring Billing: Subscriptions are billed on a recurring monthly basis via our third-party payment processor, Stripe. Your card will be charged automatically at the beginning of each billing cycle.

  • Fee Modifications: We reserve the right to modify subscription pricing upon 30 days’ written notice. Continued use following price updates constitutes acceptance.

8. Cancellation Policy

  • You may cancel your subscription at any time directly through the Stripe customer billing portal or by emailing support at [support@audioreclaim.com].

  • Cancellations must be requested prior to your next renewal date.

  • Upon cancellation, your monitoring and automated enforcement will remain active until the end of your current paid billing period, after which all scanning stops.

9. Refund Policy & Clean Catalogue Guarantee

Because AudioReclaim incurs server, scanning, and administrative costs immediately upon registration:

  • The 14-Day Clean Catalogue Guarantee: If our initial comprehensive scan confirms zero active infringing streams across all of your registered titles, you may request a 100% full refund within 14 days of your initial payment.

  • Non-Refundable Circumstances: Once AudioReclaim has identified active infringing links, issued takedown notices, or performed actionable copyright enforcement during your billing cycle, your subscription fee for that period is strictly non-refundable. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial months.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AudioReclaim shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages, including loss of royalties, profits, or audience traffic, arising from the service or the actions of third-party platforms. Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to AudioReclaim in the three (3) months preceding the claim.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law principles.
