Terms of Use and Content Policy

Effective: 30 September 2026

These terms apply when you use AiUsedMyWork at aiusedmywork.org (“the platform”, “we”, “us”), operated by AiUsedMyWork.org. By using the platform or joining an Action you agree to them. The Privacy Policy, Refunds and Disputes and the Community rules also apply.

1. What the platform is, and what it is not

1.1 Purpose. AiUsedMyWork is a community information and organising platform for creators who believe AI companies used their work without permission. It lets them find others in the same position, see how many people have joined each company’s Action, learn what they can do on their own, and follow updates.

1.2 Not a law firm. The platform is not a law firm. It gives no legal advice, does not represent anyone and does not assess anyone’s case. Joining an Action is not hiring a lawyer, not making a claim and not joining a lawsuit or class action, and it is not a finding about anyone’s legal position. Nothing on the platform creates a lawyer–client relationship.

1.3 What joining means. Joining a company’s Action means you want information and discussion about it, and you agree to receive updates about that Action by email. You can turn those emails off or leave the Action at any time. Each account with a verified email address is counted once in each Action it joins. A verified email address is not an identity check, and joining does not make anyone a verified claimant.

2. Your content and your rights

2.1 You keep your rights. You keep all intellectual property rights in your own works and in everything you submit. We claim no ownership of your work.

2.2 Private registration details are not published. What you enter when you join (name, email, country, region, work types, description, and optionally phone, mailing address and links) stays private. We do not publish it and you grant us no licence to publish it; we use it only as the Privacy Policy describes. The only figure we publish from registrations is the total number of members of each company’s Action. We do not publish counts by country, language, work type, product or any other group, and we do not use registrations in reports or white papers.

2.3 Licence for what you post. Posts and replies you publish in the community appear under your random public nickname. For each one, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, store, reproduce, format and display it on the platform, and in links and previews that point to it, for as long as it stays published. The service providers that host the platform may process it for that purpose only. The licence ends when you remove the post; copies in backups are overwritten within the 30-day backup cycle. You are responsible for what you post and confirm that you have the right to post it.

2.4 Keep your own records. We do not accept or store works, contracts or evidence files, and there is no upload feature. Keep your own originals and backups: source and project files, drafts, metadata, publication dates and anything else that shows the work is yours. Do not post evidence files or cloud sharing links in the community.

3. Rules of conduct

When you use the platform you must not:

• Register falsely: join with someone else’s name or email address, or give information you know to be false.
• Inflate a count: use scripts, bots, multiple or fake accounts, or paid or coordinated fake sign-ups to raise any Action’s count.
• Post harmful or unlawful content: defamation, harassment, threats, hate speech, other people’s personal information, fabricated material, or anything that infringes someone else’s rights.
• Impersonate: pose as a lawyer, journalist, platform staff or anyone else.
• Attack the service: get around sign-in, verification, rate limits or access controls, collect non-public data, or attack or overload the platform.

We may remove content, remove memberships created in breach of these terms from counts, and suspend or close accounts that break these rules. The Community rules say more about posting.

4. Lawyers and lawyer content

4.1 The lawyer badge. Lawyers apply through For Lawyers. Before a badge is shown, a person at the platform checks the practising details against a public licensing register by hand; a firm email domain alone is not enough. The badge means that check was done. It is not an endorsement or recommendation by the platform and says nothing about the quality or outcome of any lawyer’s work.

4.2 No access to members. Lawyers, including those with a badge, have no access to the member database and cannot export any list. Joining an Action does not hand your details to any firm. If a firm later wants to take a matter forward, the platform sends an invitation and you decide whether to register with that firm yourself.

4.3 Articles by lawyers. Copyright in articles, explainers and guides written by lawyers stays with the author or other rights holder. They are published after an editor checks the sources. They are general information only: they are not legal advice for your situation and they create no lawyer–client relationship.

5. Copyright and other complaints (notice and takedown)

If you believe content on the platform infringes your copyright or other rights, email contact@aiusedmywork.org with:

• the exact location (URL) of the content;
• the work or right you say is infringed, and whether you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them;
• your name and contact details: an email address, and a phone number or postal address;
• a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent or the law;
• a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, where the law that applies requires it (for example the US DMCA), that you make it under penalty of perjury.

We review each notice, may remove or restrict the content, and tell the person who posted it, who can respond. Notices that are incomplete, abusive or knowingly false may be rejected. For any other problem with a post, use the “Report this” button next to it.

6. Disclaimers, liability and disputes

Disclaimers, limits of liability, governing law and how disputes are resolved are set out in Refunds and Disputes, which forms part of these terms.

7. Changes

We may update these terms as the platform changes. The current version is always on this page with its effective date. If a change significantly affects members, we will say so on the site before it takes effect.
