Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using the website, software, APIs, dashboards, and related services (collectively, the "Services") of Proprias Inc. ("Proprias," "we," "us," or "our"), with its principal place of business at 14359 Miramar Pkwy #262, Miramar, FL 33027, USA, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms").

If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of Services

Proprias provides automated tools designed to assist creators and rights holders with content monitoring and protection, including but not limited to:

• Automated content scanning and monitoring
• DMCA takedown template generation
• Forensic watermarking and fingerprinting
• Experimental or beta features (including deepfake detection)
• Analytics and reporting dashboards

Proprias is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation, and is not itself a rights holder or an enforcement authority. On plans that include managed takedowns, Proprias acts solely as your non-attorney authorized agent for preparing and submitting takedown notices, as described in Section 7. In all other respects we provide tools only.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services.

By creating an account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information
• Maintain the confidentiality of your credentials
• Be responsible for all activity under your account
• Notify us immediately of unauthorized access

We are not responsible for losses caused by unauthorized account use.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Services for unlawful purposes
• Infringe, misrepresent, or falsely claim ownership of content
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent DMCA notices
• Attempt to bypass security, rate limits, or safeguards
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or exploit the Services
• Use automated systems without authorization

Violation may result in immediate suspension or termination.

5. Content, Ownership, and Licenses

Your Content

You retain ownership of your content.

By using the Services, you grant Proprias a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to:

• Process, fingerprint, watermark, and analyze content
• Scan public and third-party platforms for potential matches
• Operate and improve the Services

Content you upload for protection is stored securely in your private library and used to generate the fingerprints, hashes, and watermarks that power detection. You can delete uploaded content at any time.

Feedback

Any feedback, suggestions, or ideas you provide may be used by Proprias without restriction or compensation.

Our Intellectual Property

All software, algorithms, designs, trademarks, and documentation are owned by Proprias and protected by law.

6. Payments, Billing, and Taxes

Paid plans are billed in advance.

You agree to:

• Pay all applicable fees
• Provide valid payment information
• Authorize recurring charges

You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, or government charges.

Chargebacks or payment disputes may result in suspension.

Free Trial

Paid plans begin with a 7-day free trial. A valid payment method is required to start the trial, and the exact first-charge date and amount are disclosed on the checkout page before you confirm. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your subscription starts automatically at the end of the trial and renews each billing period (monthly or annual, as selected) until cancelled.

Cancellation

You may cancel at any time from your dashboard: Settings → Billing → Manage billing → Cancel plan, or by emailing info@proprias.app from your account email. Cancelling during the trial prevents any charge. Cancelling after the trial stops all future charges; you keep access to paid features until the end of the billing period you have already paid for.

Refunds

No refunds are issued for partial billing periods unless required by law. If you believe you were charged in error, contact info@proprias.app.

7. DMCA and Copyright Responsibilities

Proprias provides drafting, evidence, and submission tools and does not independently verify ownership claims.

You acknowledge:

• You are solely responsible for the accuracy of every ownership claim and DMCA submission made from your account
• False claims may result in legal liability, including under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f)
• Proprias is not liable for takedown outcomes
• We do not guarantee removal or compliance

Self-File Plans

On plans where you submit notices yourself, Proprias provides drafting and evidence tools only. On those plans we are not your legal agent and do not monitor or submit notices on your behalf.

Managed Takedowns (Defend and VIP)

Where your plan includes managed takedowns and you approve a notice for sending (or otherwise enable managed submission), you appoint and authorize Proprias Inc. to act as your authorized agent for the purposes of:

• Preparing, signing, and submitting takedown notices and similar reports — including the statements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) — to platforms, hosting providers, search engines, and abuse contacts on your behalf, together with related follow-ups
• Where anonymous filing applies (below), submitting those notices in Proprias's own name as your authorized agent and listing Proprias's contact information on the notice in place of yours
• Receiving and responding to correspondence about those notices, including counter-notices

Anonymous (Agent) Filing

On managed plans, notices are by default filed in the name of Proprias Inc. as your authorized agent, so your legal name, home address, and phone number do not appear on the notice. You may switch to filing under your own details at any time in your settings or when approving a notice. Your identity and evidence of ownership remain on file with Proprias, and you agree that we may disclose them where a platform requires proof of ownership or agency to process a notice, in response to a subpoena (including under 17 U.S.C. § 512(h)) or other valid legal process, or where disclosure is otherwise required by law. Anonymous filing reduces, but cannot eliminate, the possibility that your identity becomes known.

Your Per-Notice Attestation

Every managed notice is submitted in reliance on the attestation you make when you approve it: that you own the work at issue or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner; that the reported use is not authorized by you, your agents, or the law, and that you have considered whether it could be a fair use; and that the information you provided is accurate. Proprias does not independently verify ownership. You remain solely responsible for the truth and accuracy of the underlying claim, and you agree to indemnify Proprias for claims — including under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) — arising from false, misleading, or inaccurate information you provide. You may revoke the agency authorization for future notices at any time; revocation does not affect notices already submitted.

Counter-Notices

Because Proprias is the point of contact on agent-filed notices, counter-notices under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) and other responses are delivered to us. We will forward them to you promptly at your account email. Whether to pursue any legal action in response to a counter-notice is solely your decision and responsibility; Proprias does not provide legal advice and does not file, fund, or participate in litigation. If you do not instruct us within ten (10) business days of our forwarding a counter-notice that you have filed a court action, the platform may restore the content as the DMCA provides, and we will close follow-up on that notice.

8. Third-Party Platforms

The Services may interact with third-party platforms (e.g., hosting providers, social networks, search engines).

Proprias:

• Is not affiliated with or endorsed by third parties
• Is not responsible for their actions, policies, or availability
• Does not control enforcement decisions by third parties

9. Disclaimers

WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING:

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

• PROPRIAS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES
• INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Proprias from claims arising from:

• Your use of the Services
• Content you submit or protect
• DMCA notices you file
• Violation of laws or third-party rights

12. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access at any time for:

• Violations of these Terms
• Fraud or abuse
• Non-payment

Upon termination, your access immediately ceases.

13. Arbitration, Class Action Waiver, Jury Waiver

Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, you agree to email info@proprias.app with a description of the dispute and give us 30 days to resolve it with you informally.

Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Services shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be seated in Broward County, Florida, and may be conducted by telephone, video conference, or written submissions where the AAA rules allow. Arbitration and filing fees are allocated as provided in the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.

You waive:

• The right to a jury trial
• The right to participate in class or representative actions

30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing info@proprias.app with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your account email within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

14. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, excluding conflict-of-law principles.

For any matter not subject to arbitration under Section 13, you and Proprias consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Broward County, Florida.

15. Force Majeure

Proprias is not liable for failures caused by events beyond reasonable control, including outages, legal changes, platform actions, or acts of God.

16. Assignment, Severability, Survival, Language

• You may not assign these Terms without consent
• Invalid provisions do not affect enforceability
• Sections on liability, IP, arbitration, and indemnification survive termination
• These Terms are drafted in English; if they are translated, the English version controls
