IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SITE AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE TO USE IMMEDIATELY.

 

Supplemental terms and/or documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms of Service from time to time. We will alert you about any such changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these Terms of Service. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we are not obligated to provide separate notice of such changes by email or other individual communication. Please ensure that you check the applicable Terms every time you use our Site so that you understand which Terms are applicable.

The information provided on the Site is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

SERVICE

Rulta provides technology-enabled copyright protection and enforcement services designed to assist creators, copyright owners, and other rights holders in protecting their intellectual property rights across online platforms and digital services.

Our Services may include, without limitation:

  • identifying, monitoring, and documenting online copyright infringements;
  • preparing and submitting copyright infringement notices, takedown requests, de-indexing requests, and related enforcement communications;
  • coordinating with online platforms, hosting providers, search engines, intermediaries, and other third parties regarding infringing content;
  • providing copyright registration support and related administrative services, where available;
  • verifying customer identity, ownership, authority, account control, and, where reasonably necessary, age, in connection with the Services;
  • providing customer dashboards, reporting tools, analytics, and related software functionality; and
  • other copyright protection, monitoring, registration, enforcement, and related services offered by Rulta from time to time.

The Customer can access their Rulta performance data via an assigned Rulta customer dashboard, as well as submit website links that contain infringing material.

Certain services may require the Customer to complete one or more verification procedures or execute additional documentation, including authorizations, declarations, assignments, or other documents reasonably required for the provision of the requested Services. Rulta reserves the right to decline, suspend, or limit any Service where such verification or documentation is not completed or where Rulta reasonably determines that it cannot verify the Customer’s identity, ownership, authority, or eligibility to receive the requested Services.

As part of the Services, Rulta may use automated technologies, including artificial intelligence (“AI”) assisted reverse image search and image-matching technologies, to monitor the internet and identify potentially unauthorized uses or matches of the Customer’s Protected Works. These technologies may assist Rulta in locating, identifying, and prioritizing potentially infringing content for further review and enforcement action.

  1. FEES AND PAYMENT

Fees for the Services are billed in advance in accordance with the subscription plan or other pricing option selected by the Customer at the time of purchase. Certain Services may be offered on a recurring subscription basis, while other Services may be purchased on a one-time basis without a subscription. The applicable pricing, billing cycle, and Service term will be displayed at the time of purchase. User has the right to use the product for the term determined by Rulta in the Site. If User does not renew it at the end of the term, Rulta shall not give any service to the User.

Payments are processed by Paddle.com Inc. and/or its affiliated entities (collectively, "Paddle"), which describes itself as a Payments infrastructure for software companies and acts as our authorized payment provider and merchant of record for applicable transactions. By completing a purchase, you also agree to comply with Paddle's applicable terms and payment requirements, as you may be required to purchase or pay a fee to access some features of the Paddle Payment services.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate billing and payment information for your purchases and to promptly update such information as necessary. (Please check details for payment through Paddle’s website at: https://www.paddle.com/about)

Unless otherwise stated, prices displayed on the Site do not include applicable taxes. Where required by law, applicable taxes, including VAT, may be calculated and added by Paddle during checkout.

We may modify our prices from time to time. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any price changes will be indicated in the Site and will apply to future purchases or subscription renewal periods after reasonable notice has been provided through the Site or other appropriate means. If the increased fees are applicable to your existing subscription, we will provide reasonable advance notice where required by applicable law. If you do not agree to the price increase, you may cancel your subscription before the new price takes effect. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the price increase will apply only to future renewal periods.

You agree to pay the full amounts of the charges or fees, at the effective price points at the time of your purchase. You authorize us and/or Paddle to charge your chosen payment provider for all applicable fees, upon completing your purchase. If your purchase is subject to recurring charges, then you consent to us charging your payment method on a recurring basis without requiring your prior approval for each recurring charge, until you notify us of your cancellation in accordance with these Terms of Service.

We reserve the right to correct any pricing errors or any mistakes or inaccuracies in pricing, at any time, even if we have already requested or received payment. We also reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order placed through the Site, where reasonably necessary.

 

  1. CANCELLATION AND REFUND

These Terms of Service and your subscription to Rulta Services will be effective from the moment you sign up for our services on our website and will remain in effect until the subscription and the Agreement are terminated by you or us.

You may cancel or pause your membership/subscription at any time through your account dashboard. You may also cancel your subscription by clicking on the “cancellation link’’ which was sent by Paddle.com after your subscription or you can directly request a cancellation from Rulta's Support Team through live chat by providing your e-mail address.

Cancellation prevents future recurring charges but does not automatically entitle you to a refund of any fees already paid. Following cancellation, it is your obligation and responsibility to remove any Rulta-related DMCA Badges or other integrations from your websites or online services where applicable.

Unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase or required by applicable law, upon cancellation, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your billing period. Following cancellation, your subscription will not automatically renew. To the extent permitted by the applicable law or expressly stated otherwise, subscription fees and other payments are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for any partial membership periods or unused Services.

Where Rulta reasonably determines that a Customer has engaged in fraudulent, abusive, or bad-faith conduct relating to cancellations, refunds, chargebacks, or payment disputes, Rulta has the right to block access and/or terminate the accounts of any User/Customer unlimitedly in its sole discretion, refuse future Services, or take other reasonable measures permitted by applicable law.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, subscription fees and other payments made in advance shall be non-refundable except as expressly provided below:

For the annual subscription plans: For the refund requests submitted within 5 days of the original purchase date, payments may be considered for a partial refund at Rulta's discretion.

For the monthly and three-month subscription plans: Refunds are generally not available. However, in exceptional circumstances and subject to the technical limitations of our payment processor, Rulta may, at its sole discretion, approve a full or partial refund.

Refund requests submitted after five (5) days from the original purchase date are not automatically eligible for a refund. Any refund granted after this period, including refunds relating to unused subscription periods, shall be exceptional, shall be entirely at Rulta's discretion, and shall be determined on a case-by-case basis by the responsible Support Team Lead or another authorized Rulta representative, taking into account the relevant circumstances of the request, applicable payment processor limitations, and Rulta's internal refund policy.

Rulta reserves the right to refuse any refund request submitted more than three (3) months after the original purchase date, except where otherwise required by applicable law.

Customers and Users are solely responsible for managing their subscriptions and avoiding duplicate or multiple subscriptions created through their own actions. Rulta shall have no obligation to identify, monitor, or automatically refund duplicate or multiple subscriptions registered by the same Customer or User. However, if such a situation is identified by the Customer, the User, or Rulta, Rulta may, at its sole discretion, elect to provide a service credit or another appropriate account adjustment instead of a monetary refund. Any such credit or adjustment shall be granted solely as a goodwill gesture, shall not constitute an admission of liability, and shall not create any precedent or entitlement for future claims.

 

  1. FREE TRIAL

If you sign up for a trial version of Rulta Services, you may use the Rulta Services free of charge for 3 days, where applicable. The trial version allows access to the following Rulta Services:

Takedown requests are limited to 1 URL/day. Each service module is limited to 20 URLs/per day. Unless cancelled before the end of the trial period, the applicable Customer/User’s account will automatically be charged using the payment method provided during registration, according to the Customer/User’s chosen subscription fee at the end of the free trial.

A free trial can only be used once for each person or account, unless otherwise expressly permitted by Rulta. The ‘skip trial’ button is available on the Customer/Users’ dashboard to upgrade from a free trial to a paid plan. Once a Customer/User clicks on the skip trial button, the free trial ends, even if the payment fails.

Rulta reserves the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, refuse, or revoke any free trial order or make changes to the trial availability at any time without notice or reason, where reasonably necessary, including in cases of suspected abuse, fraud, or violation of these Terms of Service.

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Service and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Terms of Service or use of the Site. You agree that these Terms of Service will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Terms of Service and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Terms of Service.

 

We reserve the right to modify, amend, or change the Terms at any time. Notice of any material change will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. In certain circumstances, where required by applicable law, we may notify you of a change to the Terms via email or other means; however, you are responsible for regularly checking this page for any changes. Your continued access or use of our Services constitutes your ongoing consent to any changes, and as a result, you will be legally bound by the updated Terms. If you do not accept a change to the Terms, you must stop accessing or using our Services immediately.

We have the right not to accept to give service to customers/users at our reasonable discretion without submitting any reason.

We immediately take action and may suspend or terminate the applicable Services and take any other action reasonably necessary to protect our interests, third parties, or the integrity of the Services, when we detect, or a user makes, an inaccurate, fraudulent, or unauthorized complaint.

The Customer and the User acknowledge that we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of certain services, including Google searches, Google complaints, complaints or searches based on any site, and other enforcement activities, which depend on independent third parties and circumstances outside our reasonable control, or that they will work on a daily basis. Sites may be temporarily unavailable, may be closed, or the search system may change. Accordingly, while we will use reasonable efforts to provide the Services, we do not guarantee any specific enforcement outcome, removal, delisting, search ranking, response time, or availability of any third-party platform or service.

 

  1. FORCE MAJEURE 

For the purposes of these Terms, “Force Majeure” refers to events or conditions including but not limited to natural disasters (including fire, flood, earthquake, storm or other natural disasters), export or import restrictions, embargos, terrorist attacks, wars, civil wars, loss at sea, legal disputes regarding business law (including strike, lockout and other industrial disputes), pandemics or interruption or complete disruption of public services, which concern Rulta and the Services that develop beyond reasonable control of Rulta.

If Rulta fails to fulfill its liabilities because of force majeure hereunder on time or in full (the period for the performance of the liabilities will be extended), Rulta shall not be considered to be in breach of these Terms of Service as long as such non-failure on time or in full is based on, or limited to a force majeure condition or Rulta shall not be held responsible against the user or customer.

In Force Majeure, where reasonably practicable, Rulta shall inform the Customer/User by Force Majeure immediately about the scope and content of the incidents giving rise to Force Majeure.

If such Force Majeure lasts for more than three (3) months since its start, Rulta may serve a notice to Customer/User regarding the termination of these Terms. Notice for termination shall indicate the date of termination, which must be a date after minimum fourteen (14) business days following the date on which notice of termination is served to the counterparty. Upon duly served notice of termination, these Terms will be considered to have been terminated on the date included in such notice. Rulta shall not be held responsible for the termination of these Terms based on the Force Majeure, however; the rights and liabilities of the Parties arising before the termination shall remain valid.

 

  1. PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING AND SAFETY

In case of any personal data transfer between the parties hereunder, the parties are responsible to protect such personal data pursuant to ‘’General Data Protection Regulation” (GDPR), which was approved by the European Parliament on April 14, 2016 and that has been in effect since May 25, 2018 and that is binding for all member states; together with all other applicable data protection and privacy laws and any applicable national implementing legislation.

The parties hereto agree, declare, and undertake that the personal data, which will be disclosed pursuant to the performance of these Terms, have been acquired and processed lawfully in compliance with GDPR and other applicable law. Including but not limited to the collection, arrangement, amendment to, storage, recording, transfer to third parties, transfer abroad, deletion, destruction, anonymization of such personal data, the Parties are liable to comply with the relevant legislation. The parties hereby agree, represent, and undertake that they will not disclose the personal data obtained thereof to third parties other than the circumstances specified in these Terms, cases allowed by GDPR, and the conditions mentioned in Personal Data Protection Policies of the Parties.

In case of any requests or applications from the relevant parties regarding the personal data of the parties disclosed to the other party, the party receiving such request is obliged to inform the other party within 24 hours.

The party disclosing the special category of personal data, which require open consent of the shareholders and/or employees, hereby agrees, declares, and undertakes that explicit consent is received from the relevant party in compliance with the legislation and that any disclosing liability has been fulfilled in terms of any personal data disclosed thereof.

The Parties are obliged to take any essential technical and administrative measures and have the necessary audits made for ensuring proper level of safety to prevent illegal personal data processing, illegal access to personal data, and ensure retention of the personal data.

The Parties hereby agree and undertake to process the personal data only to the extent that it is compulsory for the performance of the services subject to these Terms, to designate the authorizations of the employees to access and process the data in compliance with GDPR and applicable law and only to the extent that it is necessary to be known for the performance of the service; to ensure that employees would not disclose the acquired information and passwords and methods used for access to anybody while making use of such access authorizations and inform their employees within the scope of GDPR and other related legal requirements.

The parties hereby agree, declare, and undertake that they will act in compliance with the relevant legislations throughout the term of these Terms and for an indefinite period even when these Terms terminates for whatever reasons, and inform the reason why they failed to act in accordance with the instructions provided thereof if such instructions are not followed.

In case of failure to comply with the liabilities regulated under these Terms, the Parties reserve the right to terminate these Terms.

Rulta retains personal data only for as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, fraud prevention, and security obligations, resolve disputes, enforce these Terms, or otherwise as described in the Privacy Policy. Upon expiration of the applicable retention period, personal data may be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise securely disposed of in accordance with applicable law and Rulta's data retention practices.

 

35.SEVERABILITY 

If any provision of these terms is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable by the competent authority, then that provision shall be deemed severable and shall be subject to limited interpretation, modification, or be directly eliminated from these terms to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, to the extent permitted by law, and will not affect the validity, legality and enforceability of any remaining provisions, which shall remain in full effect.
