Copyright Policy
Last updated: August 5, 2026
1. Our position
Vaults.lol respects the work of the people who make things. Profiles on Vaults.lol are built by their owners, and the platform is not a place to republish someone else's photography, music, artwork, writing, video or software as if it were your own. If you own rights to a work and it is being used on a Vaults.lol profile without your permission, we will act on a valid report.
2. What we host, and what we do not
Almost every piece of media on a Vaults.lol profile is embedded by URL, not uploaded to us. Backgrounds, videos, songs, custom site icons and player embeds stay on whatever host the user chose, and Vaults.lol simply points a visitor's browser at that address. The main exception is the profile avatar, which is stored by us. This matters for reports: if the file itself lives on another service, the fastest permanent removal is a report to that host as well as to us. We can always remove the link, the block or the profile from Vaults.lol.
3. Reporting infringing content
Send your report through our support page or on Telegram at t.me/vaultslol. A useful report contains all of the following:
1. The exact Vaults.lol address, for example vaults.lol/username, and the specific link, block or image on that page.
2. A description of the original work and where the original can be seen.
3. A statement that you own the rights or are authorised to act for the rights owner.
4. A statement, made in good faith, that the use is not authorised by you, your agent or the law.
5. A contact method we can reply on, and your name or the name of the organisation you represent.
We read reports manually. Complete reports are usually actioned within 24 hours.
4. What happens after a report
If a report is valid, we remove or disable the reported content. Depending on how much of the profile is infringing, that can mean deleting a single link or block, replacing an avatar, hiding a page, or removing the whole profile. We notify the account owner that content was removed and tell them which report it relates to, so they can respond or fix the page. We do not hand your personal contact details to the account owner unless we are legally required to.
5. Counter notices
If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter notice through the same channels. Explain what was removed, why you have the right to use it, for example a licence, permission, public domain status or fair dealing, and include a way to reach you. If the counter notice is credible and the original reporter does not escalate the matter legally, we may restore the content.
6. Repeat infringement
Accounts that repeatedly publish infringing material are terminated. There is no fixed number of strikes: a first report involving commercial piracy, leaked paid content or malware distribution can end an account immediately, while an honest mistake corrected quickly usually will not. Terminated accounts do not receive refunds for Lifetime, Supporter or premium handle purchases, and the username may be released or retired at our discretion.
7. Bad faith reports
Filing a knowingly false report to take down a rival, an ex, a competitor or someone you dislike is abuse of this process. We ignore reports that are clearly retaliatory, and we may block reporters who repeatedly send false claims. Misrepresenting ownership of a work can also carry legal consequences in your jurisdiction.
8. Music, video and embedded players
Streaming a track or video through an official embed, for example a YouTube, Spotify or SoundCloud player, is normally fine because the platform serving that media handles the licensing. Hosting a direct audio or video file that you do not have the rights to, and linking it into your Vaults.lol profile as a background or music player, is not fine. Use your own recordings, licensed material, royalty free material, or official embeds.
9. Avatars, fan art and likeness
Using someone else's photograph, illustration or fan art as your avatar or background requires their permission. Using a real person's photograph to pretend to be that person is impersonation and is handled under the Terms of Service as well as this policy. Reports about your own face or likeness are treated with the same priority as copyright reports, even when you do not own the copyright in the photograph.
10. Your content stays yours
Publishing on Vaults.lol does not transfer ownership of anything to us. You keep every right you had before. You grant us only the narrow permission needed to store and display your page to visitors, and that permission ends when you delete the content or the account.
11. The Vaults.lol name, logo and design
The Vaults.lol name, wordmark, logo, interface design, written copy, wiki and blog articles are our own work. You may reference Vaults.lol in reviews, tutorials, comparisons and videos, and you may link to us freely. You may not clone the interface, copy the written content wholesale, sell templates that present themselves as official Vaults.lol products, or use the logo in a way that implies a partnership or endorsement that does not exist. Product names and logos belonging to other platforms mentioned anywhere on this site remain the property of their respective owners.
12. Contact
All copyright matters go through the support page or Telegram at t.me/vaultslol. A real person reads every message.
