Terms of Service

Read the terms that apply when using the OpenBT website and public metadata search service.

Nature of the service

OpenBT searches and displays public BitTorrent metadata. The site does not provide file storage, uploading, downloading, relaying, or seeding. By accessing or using the site, you acknowledge and agree to follow these terms.

Lawful use

  • Use the site only where permitted by the laws of your country or region.
  • Do not use the site to infringe copyright, privacy, trade secrets, or other lawful rights.
  • Do not bypass security limits, disrupt the service, make excessive automated requests, or affect other users.
  • You are responsible for decisions involving search, verification, and later use of external information.

External metadata

Search results come from third-party metadata on public networks. OpenBT does not create or control that information and does not guarantee accuracy, completeness, legality, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

Service changes and interruption

For security, compliance, maintenance, or product needs, we may change pages, restrict access, remove index records, or pause parts of the service. We work to keep the service stable but do not promise uninterrupted availability.

Rights feedback

If you believe an index record involves infringement or another legal issue, use the Contact Us page and provide verifiable information as described in the removal request instructions.
