3. Definitions
"Content" means any material you submit to us or identify to us, including links (URLs), screenshots, photographs, videos, text, account names, and any other information about material published online.
"Reported Material" means online material that you ask us to help remove or de-index.
"Platform" means any third-party website, hosting provider, search engine, social network, messenger or other service on which Reported Material appears.
"Removal Request" means a notice, complaint, appeal or other request that we prepare or send to a Platform, or that we help you prepare, in relation to Reported Material.
"AI Features" means the automated and machine-learning tools we use within the Service, including automated search, classification, drafting of Removal Requests and chat assistance.
4. What the Service is
Leakvic is a free platform that helps people affected by leaked or non-consensually published personal content to locate that content online, prepare and submit Removal Requests to the relevant Platforms, and track the outcome.
The Service is informational and technical assistance only. We are not a law firm, we are not your legal representative, and nothing we provide is legal advice or a substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction.
We are not a law-enforcement body, a court, or a regulator. We cannot compel any Platform, hosting provider or individual to do anything. Whether Reported Material is removed is decided solely by the relevant Platform or by a competent authority.
We do not hack, break into, or gain unauthorised access to any system, account or device, and we do not offer such services under any circumstances.
5. No guarantee of result
We do not guarantee that any particular item of Reported Material will be removed, de-indexed, blocked or kept offline, nor do we guarantee any timeframe for a result.
Material that has been removed may be re-uploaded by third parties, mirrored on other Platforms, or retained in caches, archives and private copies outside our reach. Statistics published on the website (for example, the number of links removed) describe past aggregated results and are not a promise of future performance in your case.
The Service is provided free of charge. We give no service-level commitment, and we may change, limit, suspend or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time.
6. Eligibility
You may use the Service only if you are at least 18 years old and have full legal capacity to enter into this agreement.
If you are under 18, do not use the Service. If you are a minor affected by leaked intimate content, please contact a trusted adult, your local police, or a dedicated child-protection organisation (for example, the NCMEC "Take It Down" service or your national child-protection hotline), which can act on your behalf with the necessary safeguards.
A parent, legal guardian, or legally authorised representative may use the Service on behalf of a person who is a minor or who lacks legal capacity, provided they identify themselves as such at our request and confirm their authority.
7. Your representations regarding Content
By submitting Content to us, you represent and warrant, for every item you submit, that:
(a) you are the person depicted or described in the Reported Material, or you are lawfully authorised to act on that person's behalf;
(b) the Reported Material was published without the consent of the person depicted, or its publication otherwise infringes that person's rights;
(c) all information you give us is true, accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge, and you will correct it if it changes;
(d) the Reported Material does not depict a person who was under 18 years old at the time the material was created, other than in the circumstances described in clause 8;
(e) you have the right to give us the licence described in clause 10; and
(f) your use of the Service does not breach any law applicable to you.
You are solely responsible for the Content you submit and for the accuracy of your statements. Submitting a knowingly false Removal Request may expose you to liability under the law of your country and under the rules of the relevant Platform.
8. Material involving minors
We do not accept, store, review, classify, distribute, or process material that depicts or appears to depict sexual content involving a person under 18 years old, and we will not ask you to send us such material.
If you need help with material of that kind, do not send it to us. Report it directly to your local police and to a specialised body such as the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (report.cybertip.org, or takeitdown.ncmec.org for hash-based removal without uploading the image) or the Internet Watch Foundation (report.iwf.org.uk).
If material of that kind is submitted to us notwithstanding this clause, we will stop processing the request, may preserve and disclose the submission and related account data to the competent authorities as required or permitted by applicable law, and may block your access to the Service permanently.
9. Prohibited use
You must not use the Service to:
(a) seek removal of material in which you are not the person depicted and for which you have no authority to act;
(b) censor, suppress or interfere with lawful journalism, criticism, research, court records, public-interest reporting or other lawful speech;
(c) harass, stalk, dox, intimidate, impersonate or retaliate against any person, or to identify or locate a person against their will;
(d) submit false, misleading, forged or manipulated evidence, including synthetic or AI-generated material presented as genuine;
(e) request or perform any unauthorised access to accounts, devices, networks or data, or any deletion of data by unlawful means;
(f) resell, commercialise, scrape, reverse engineer, overload or automate access to the Service without our prior written consent;
(g) upload malware, or attempt to disrupt, probe or circumvent the security of the Service; or
(h) violate any applicable law, third-party right, or the rules of any Platform.
We may refuse any request, at our discretion and without an obligation to give reasons, including where we consider it unlawful, abusive, outside the scope of the Service, or where we cannot verify your statements.
10. Licence to your Content
You retain all rights in the Content you submit. You do not transfer ownership of anything to us.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to host, store, copy, view, analyse, adapt (for example, crop or redact), transmit and disclose the Content strictly to the extent necessary to:
(a) identify and verify the Reported Material;
(b) prepare, file and follow up Removal Requests with Platforms and, where you ask us to, with competent authorities;
(c) monitor for re-uploads of the same material; and
(d) operate, secure, troubleshoot and improve the Service, including the AI Features, subject to the limits set out in the Privacy Policy.
This licence ends when you withdraw your request or when we delete the Content in accordance with the retention periods in the Privacy Policy, except where we must keep a record to comply with a legal obligation or to defend a legal claim.
You may withdraw the licence and ask us to delete your Content at any time by writing to us. Requests already sent to a Platform cannot be recalled from that Platform by us.
11. AI Features and human review
The Service uses AI Features to search for Reported Material, classify submissions, draft Removal Requests and assist in chat. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. You should review anything we generate before relying on it.
Chats and submissions may be reviewed by authorised personnel, and may be used to improve our AI models, in the manner and on the legal basis described in the Privacy Policy. Where our Privacy Policy offers you a way to object to or opt out of such use, exercising it will not affect our handling of your Removal Requests.
Decisions that materially affect your request are subject to human review on your request. Write to us at [CONTACT E-MAIL] if you want a person to look at your case.
12. Third-party Platforms and services
The Service interacts with Platforms and third-party tools that we do not own or control, including Telegram, our website builder, our hosting and infrastructure providers, and AI providers. Your use of Telegram is additionally governed by Telegram's own terms and privacy policy.
Each Platform sets its own rules, forms, evidence requirements and timeframes for Removal Requests. We follow the process a Platform makes available; we cannot change it, appeal outside it, or guarantee a Platform's response.
Links and references to third-party materials are provided for convenience only and are not an endorsement. We are not responsible for third-party content, terms or acts.
13. Our intellectual property
The Service, including its text, design, interface, graphics, logo, the name "Leakvic", software, prompts, templates and databases, belongs to us or to our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property law.
You may use the Service only as permitted by these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, publish, sublicense or create derivative works from any part of the Service without our prior written consent, except that you may keep and use for your own purposes the Removal Requests and documents we prepare for you.
14. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and ask us to close your case and delete your data.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, immediately and without notice, if we reasonably believe that you have breached these Terms, that your use is unlawful or abusive, that it endangers another person, or that it exposes us or a Platform to legal risk.
Termination does not affect rights and obligations that arose before it, or clauses that are intended to survive (including clauses 10, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 19).
15. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or that it will find all instances of your Reported Material, or that results obtained through it will meet your expectations.
Nothing in this clause limits any right you have as a consumer that cannot be limited or excluded under the law applicable to you.
16. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profit, revenue, goodwill, data or opportunity, arising out of or in connection with the Service, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.
In particular, and without limiting the above, we are not liable for: the acts or omissions of any Platform or third party; the re-upload, mirroring, caching or archiving of Reported Material by third parties; the refusal of a Platform to act on a Removal Request; the inaccuracy of AI output that you did not verify; or any consequence of information you gave us that was incomplete or incorrect.
Because the Service is provided free of charge, our aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with the Service is limited to [AMOUNT AND CURRENCY, e.g. 10,000 RUB] or, where applicable law does not allow such a limit, to the minimum amount that law permits.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for intentional harm or for harm to life or health.
17. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us, our employees and contractors harmless from any claim, demand, proceeding, loss, liability, fine, or reasonable legal cost arising from: your breach of these Terms; the inaccuracy of your representations under clause 7; a Removal Request made on your instructions that a third party challenges as unfounded; or your unlawful use of the Service.
This clause does not apply to the extent the claim results from our own intentional misconduct or gross negligence, and does not apply where applicable consumer law prohibits such an indemnity.
18. Changes to the Terms and to the Service
We may amend these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the Service, in our providers, or in applicable law. The current version is always published at leakvic.tilda.ws with its effective date.
Material changes will be announced on the website and, where we have a means of reaching you, through the bot or by e-mail, at least [NUMBER, e.g. 10] days before they take effect, unless a change must take effect sooner to comply with law.
Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of a change means you accept the amended Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Service and ask us to delete your data.
19. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or with the Service are governed by the law of the Russian Federation, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country in which you habitually reside, where those rules give you stronger protection.
Before starting proceedings, you agree to send us a written complaint at [CONTACT E-MAIL] and to allow us 30 calendar days to respond, so that we can try to resolve the matter informally.
If the dispute is not resolved, it will be submitted to the competent court at the place of our registered address, unless applicable law gives you the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence, in which case that right prevails.
20. Notices and contact
You can reach us at [CONTACT E-MAIL] or through the Telegram bot @leakvicbot. Legal and data-protection notices should be sent to [LEGAL / DPO E-MAIL] and, where a hard copy is required, to our registered address in clause 2.
We will send notices to the Telegram account or e-mail address you used to contact us. Please keep those contact details current.
For questions about how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
21. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the Service.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, or severed, and the remaining provisions will stay in force.
Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent. We may assign ours to an affiliate or in connection with a reorganisation, merger or transfer of the Service, provided your rights are not reduced.
These Terms are published in English. If we publish a translation and there is a conflict, the English version prevails unless applicable law requires otherwise.
