Nodum

Last Updated: April 6, 2026

Thank you for choosing to use the Nodum Platform ("Nodum", or the "Platform"), which includes the Nodum web application, and any other features, functionalities, or services provided now or in the future (collectively the "Services"). The Services are offered by Nodum Inc ("we", "us", or "our"), with its registered address at 8 The Green, Suite B, in the City of Dover, County of Kent, Zip Code 19901, State of Delaware.

1. Your Agreement to these Terms of Services

These Terms of Service (these "Terms" or the "Agreement"), as may be updated from time to time, govern your access to and use of the Platform and Services. They form a legally binding agreement between you and us. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Please read them carefully. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, you must immediately stop using the Services.

Your access to and use of the Services are also subject to our Privacy Policy as well as any additional guidelines or rules that may be made available to you from time to time.

2. Changes to these Terms

We may update, enhance, or modify the Services from time to time. We also reserve the right to revise these Terms as necessary. When we make material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

3. Nature of the Services

Platform as a Tool. Nodum is a software tool that provides content analysis, research, and creative reference capabilities. The Platform enables you, the user, to initiate requests to retrieve, analyze, and process publicly available content from third-party sources, including but not limited to social media platforms, video hosting services, and other websites. Nodum functions as an intermediary tool — similar to a web browser, search engine, or content analysis software — and does not independently select, curate, host, or distribute third-party content.

User-Directed Actions. All content retrieval and processing actions are initiated solely by you, the user. Nodum does not autonomously scrape, download, or collect content from any third-party source without your explicit direction. You determine what content to retrieve, analyze, and how to use the results.

Temporary Processing. Third-party content retrieved through the Services is processed temporarily for the purpose of providing you with analysis, summaries, transcripts, or reference materials. Nodum does not permanently store, reproduce, or redistribute third-party content beyond what is reasonably necessary to deliver the requested service output to you.

4. Account and Registration

Account Requirements: To access and use many of the Services, you must first register for an account. When creating an account, you must provide accurate, current, complete, and truthful information.

Eligibility: You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Services. If you are under 18, you may only use the Services with parent or legal guardian permission.

Account Security: You are solely responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your account credentials. You must not share your login information with any third party.

We reserve the right to temporarily suspend, permanently terminate, or otherwise restrict your account for violations of these Terms or applicable laws.

5. Third-Party Content and Intellectual Property

Acknowledgment of Third-Party Rights. You acknowledge and agree that content retrieved from third-party sources (including social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X/Twitter, and others) may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nodum does not claim ownership of any third-party content processed through the Services.

No Affiliation. Nodum is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any social media platform, content hosting service, or third-party content provider. All third-party trademarks and trade names are the property of their respective owners.

Copyright Compliance. You represent and warrant that your use of the Services to retrieve, analyze, or process third-party content: (a) is for lawful purposes only; (b) constitutes fair use, fair dealing, or is otherwise permitted under applicable copyright law; (c) does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or any other rights of third parties; and (d) complies with the terms of service of the third-party platform from which content is sourced, to the extent legally applicable.

User Responsibility for Third-Party Content. You bear sole and exclusive responsibility for: (i) determining whether your retrieval and use of any third-party content is lawful; (ii) obtaining any necessary permissions, licenses, or consents from content owners; (iii) ensuring compliance with the terms of service and policies of third-party platforms; and (iv) any consequences arising from your retrieval, use, or distribution of third-party content processed through the Services.

DMCA and Copyright Notices. Nodum respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. If you are a copyright owner who believes that content available through our Services infringes your rights, please contact our designated copyright agent at [email protected] with: (i) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed; (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed or have access disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material; (iv) your contact information including address, telephone number, and email; (v) a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Counter-Notification. If you believe that your content was removed or access was disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to [email protected] containing: (i) your physical or electronic signature; (ii) identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled; (iii) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; (iv) your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which your address is located (or Delaware if your address is outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

Repeat Infringer Policy. In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Nodum has adopted and reasonably implements a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers in appropriate circumstances. We track all valid DMCA takedown notices received and maintain records of alleged infringements associated with each user account. A user will be considered a "repeat infringer" upon accumulation of three (3) or more valid DMCA takedown notices directed at their account within any rolling twelve (12) month period. Upon reaching this threshold, we will permanently terminate the user's account, delete all associated content, and prohibit creation of new accounts. We also reserve the right to terminate accounts for fewer than three notices in cases of egregious or willful infringement. Users who believe they have been incorrectly identified as repeat infringers may appeal the termination by contacting [email protected] within fourteen (14) days of termination with evidence supporting their appeal.
