Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of Teker Shield, a content-protection service that finds copies of your work, preserves evidence and prepares removal notices for you to file, and of Teker Studio, a content-planning service in which material you hand over is reviewed, your posting calendar is prepared and your weekly numbers are recorded — and in which you publish everything yourself, from your own accounts. Both are operated by the operator of Teker Shield (operator details pending). By creating an account you agree to these terms and to the Pilot Agreement, which forms part of them.
The service
Teker Shield scans public sources for content that appears to infringe rights you hold, captures and preserves evidence, prepares removal notices in your name, and tracks the outcome of each notice you submit. Coverage, scan frequency and volume limits depend on your plan.
Private pilot
The service is offered as a private pilot to invited customers under the Pilot Agreement (version 2026-10-11), which is incorporated into these terms and prevails over them; your Order Form, where you have one, prevails over both. Features may change, be limited or be withdrawn while the pilot runs, and the service is provided as it stands, without a service-level commitment.
Your account
You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you submit, for keeping your credentials secure, and for the activity of any team member you invite. One account represents one rights holder unless you are on an agency plan.
You file your own notices
Teker Shield prepares notices; it does not send them. You are the complaining party and the signatory on every notice, you review each one before you submit it through the recipient’s form or by email, and you are responsible for its accuracy. Nothing is transmitted by Teker Shield, automatically or otherwise.
Rights and representations
You confirm that you own or are authorised to act on the rights in every work you submit, and that each removal request is made in good faith. Knowingly submitting a false claim may expose you to liability under applicable law, including 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), and that liability is yours.
Acceptable use
You may not use the service to suppress lawful criticism, reporting, parody or competing content you do not own, to harass any person, or to prepare notices on behalf of a third party without written authority.
Fees
Your fee is on your Order Form and is either a fixed monthly amount, invoiced in advance, or a share of your net platform earnings, invoiced in arrears — the Pilot Agreement, clause 08, sets out both. Invoices are sent directly and paid by bank transfer or another method agreed with us in writing. No payment provider is involved and we never ask for or store card, bank or IBAN details inside the service. Service continues until you cancel with thirty days’ notice.
No legal advice
Teker Shield is not a law firm and nothing in the service constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship. Outcomes depend on hosts, platforms and courts we do not control.
Liability
The service is provided without warranty of a particular removal outcome. To the extent permitted by law our aggregate liability is limited to the fees you paid in the three months before the claim, and excludes indirect or consequential loss.
Termination
We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, prepares notices in bad faith, or exposes us to legal risk. You may close your account at any time; stored evidence remains available for export for thirty days after closure.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Belgium, and disputes fall to the competent courts of Belgium, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence.
