TRAXE — Terms of Service & Disclaimer

⚠ Important Notice

TRAXE provides a content verification and timestamping infrastructure service only. TRAXE does not verify the legal ownership, authorship, copyright status, or authenticity of any submitted content. A TRAXE verification certificate does not constitute legal proof of ownership or copyright. TRAXE accepts no legal liability for claims arising from the use of its verification records.

01 About TRAXE

TRAXE (operated as TRAXE.co) is a content verification and registration platform that provides cryptographic timestamping, hash fingerprinting, and origin declaration services for digital content. TRAXE is designed to assist creators, studios, and organisations in documenting the declared origin and submission date of digital assets.

TRAXE operates in support of transparency obligations under the EU AI Act (2024/1689) and related regulatory frameworks. However, TRAXE itself is not a legal authority, certification body, notary, or regulatory agency.

02 Scope of Service — What TRAXE Does and Does Not Do

TRAXE provides the following services:

Cryptographic SHA-256 fingerprinting of uploaded files
Timestamping of submission date and time
Recording of user-declared origin information (e.g. AI-generated, human-made, hybrid)
Issuance of a unique TRAXE Verification ID (TRXE-XXXXXXXX)
A publicly accessible verification page linked to each submission

TRAXE does not:

Verify the accuracy or truthfulness of any information submitted by users
Confirm copyright ownership or intellectual property rights
Guarantee that submitted content is original, non-infringing, or lawfully owned
Provide legal, regulatory, or compliance advice
Act as a substitute for legal counsel or official certification

      A TRAXE certificate records what a user declared at the time of submission. It does not independently verify or validate those declarations.
    

03 User Declaration & Accuracy of Submissions

By creating a TRAXE account and submitting content, you hereby declare and confirm that:

All information submitted during registration — including declared origin, tool used, creator identity, and file metadata — is accurate, truthful, and complete to the best of your knowledge.
You are the creator, rights holder, or authorised representative of the content you submit.
You understand that submitting false, misleading, or inaccurate declarations may constitute fraud or misrepresentation under applicable law.
You take full legal responsibility for the accuracy of all declarations made through your account.
You will not use TRAXE to submit content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights, contains illegal material, or is intended to deceive or mislead.

TRAXE reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts found to be submitting false or fraudulent information.

04 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

TRAXE, its operators, directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the platform.
TRAXE is not liable for any legal claims, disputes, or proceedings initiated by third parties against you in connection with content you have submitted.
TRAXE is not responsible for the misuse of verification certificates by you or any third party.
TRAXE does not warrant that its services are error-free, uninterrupted, or legally sufficient for any particular regulatory purpose.
You use TRAXE entirely at your own risk and discretion.

05 Intellectual Property

You retain all rights to the content you submit. By submitting content, you grant TRAXE a limited, non-exclusive licence to store, process, hash, and display the submitted metadata and file fingerprint solely for the purpose of providing the verification service.

TRAXE does not claim ownership of any content submitted to the platform. Uploaded files are stored securely and are not shared with third parties except as required by law.

06 Account Responsibility

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. All submissions made through your account are attributed to you. TRAXE is not liable for unauthorised access to your account resulting from your failure to maintain secure credentials.

Each account is subject to the usage limits of the selected plan. Circumventing plan limits through multiple accounts is prohibited and may result in account termination.

07 EU AI Act Compliance Context

TRAXE is designed to assist organisations in meeting transparency and disclosure obligations under the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689), which requires providers and deployers of certain AI systems to disclose AI-generated content to end users.

However, TRAXE's verification certificates are not official regulatory filings and do not constitute compliance certification. Users are responsible for ensuring their own legal compliance with applicable AI regulations in their jurisdiction. TRAXE recommends consulting qualified legal counsel for compliance advice.

08 Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of TRAXE shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Netherlands.

09 Changes to These Terms

TRAXE reserves the right to update these Terms of Service at any time. Continued use of the platform following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We will notify registered users of material changes via email.
