Place2BScene declines any responsibility regarding Torrent files' contents and the use done by final users. But, the Staff is available, by written request sent to the e-Mail address place2bscene at gmail dot com, with full reason and details (and, in case of copyrighted material, the name of the copyright owner) to "ban" a Torrent from the Tracker. "Banning" consists in the impossibility, by users, to download a Torrent. Differently from simple deletion, ban blocks future attempts to re-upload an illegal file .

The user accepts that:

There is an automated "keyword" filter that prevents users to upload illegal files. The filter is constantly updated by the Staff, but it is still subject to errors. In the case a good file is considered illegal by the system, we invite the user to rename it and accept our apologizes for the inconvenience.
The above filter can, upon written request, sent via e-Mail to place2bscene at gmail dot com and from exclusively the copyright owner or his/her legal representant, be updated by te Staff in order to block a copyrighted Torrent upload
There is a "log", not available to anybody, that keeps track of user actions in order only to prevent illegal activities such as pedophilia. The above log is kept with all most advanced security and cryptography measures by Place2BScene's Privacy Administrator, and only the lines regarding an illegal Torrent may, upon written request, be shown to the Authorities, under law procedures
