Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Mutin website, services, and related communications (collectively, the “Services”) provided by Mutin (“Mutin,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing our website, contacting us about our Services, requesting or purchasing our Services, or otherwise engaging with Mutin, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use our Services.
If you are entering into an agreement with Mutin on behalf of a business, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
Our Services
Mutin provides technology and online services that may include, but are not limited to:
- Internet Archive, Archive.Today, and digital-content preservation;
- Website and online-content preservation;
- Social-media and other digital-content preservation;
- Online community creation and management;
- Discord server and setup, administration, and moderation;
- Subreddit creation, administration, and management;
- Other technology, digital, online-community, or related services agreed upon with a customer.
The specific Services provided to a customer, their scope, price, timeframe, and other requirements may be established through a written quote, proposal, invoice, email, service agreement, or other written communication between Mutin and the customer.
Mutin may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue Services at any time.
Service Requests and Custom Work
Many Mutin Services are customized for individual customers.
A customer may contact Mutin through our website, email, telephone, Discord, or another communication method we make available. Customers should provide accurate and sufficient information about the requested work.
Before beginning custom work, Mutin may provide a quote, estimate, proposal, or other description of the requested Services.
A service request is not necessarily accepted merely because it has been submitted. Mutin may decline a request for any lawful reason.
Prices and Payment
Prices for Services will be communicated to the customer before work begins whenever reasonably possible.
Mutin may use third-party payment processors, including PayPal, to process payments. Payment processing may be subject to the payment provider’s own terms and policies.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment may be required before Mutin begins work.
Customers are responsible for providing accurate billing and payment information.
If a payment is reversed, disputed, declined, or otherwise not successfully completed, Mutin may suspend or stop the applicable Services.
Quotes and Estimates
Quotes and estimates are based on the information available to Mutin when they are provided.
Unless a quote states otherwise, a quote may expire after the period specified by Mutin or may be changed if the scope of the requested work changes.
Additional work requested by a customer may result in additional charges.
Mutin will attempt to communicate material changes in scope or price before performing additional chargeable work.
Customer Responsibilities
Customers are responsible for:
- Providing accurate information and materials necessary to perform the Services;
- Having the necessary rights, permissions, and authority to provide content to Mutin;
- Maintaining access to accounts or services that Mutin needs to perform the requested work;
- Following the rules and terms of third-party platforms used in connection with the Services;
- Reviewing information supplied by Mutin when approval or confirmation is requested; and
- Using the Services lawfully.
Customers must not ask Mutin to perform work that violates applicable law, third-party platform rules, intellectual-property rights, privacy rights, or other people’s rights.
Customer Content
“Customer Content” means content, files, information, accounts, websites, social-media content, videos, images, text, data, or other materials supplied by or on behalf of a customer.
The customer retains ownership of its Customer Content unless otherwise agreed in writing.
By providing Customer Content to Mutin, you grant Mutin the permissions reasonably necessary to provide the requested Services.
You represent that you have the necessary rights and permissions to provide the Customer Content and authorize Mutin to use it for the requested Services.
Mutin does not claim ownership of Customer Content merely because Mutin provides Services involving that content.
Content Preservation and Third-Party Platforms
Some Mutin Services involve third-party platforms and services, including the Internet Archive, Archive.Today, Discord, Reddit, social-media platforms, website providers, and other online services.
Mutin does not control third-party platforms and cannot guarantee that content will remain available, unchanged, publicly accessible, or retrievable from those platforms.
For preservation Services, Mutin will make reasonable efforts to perform the requested preservation work, but cannot guarantee that every item of content can be successfully preserved.
Third-party platforms may independently remove, restrict, modify, or otherwise affect content or accounts.
Online Communities
When Mutin creates, manages, administers, or moderates an online community for a customer, the customer remains responsible for the underlying community, its purpose, and compliance with applicable laws and third-party platform rules unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Mutin may establish or recommend moderation rules and procedures as part of its Services.
Mutin cannot guarantee that an online community will never experience abuse, spam, harassment, malicious activity, platform enforcement, or other problems and violations.

You may not use Mutin’s Services to:
- Violate applicable law or regulation;
- Infringe or misappropriate another person’s intellectual-property rights;

- Circumvent security measures or access controls without authorization;
- Submit content that you do not have the right to provide to Mutin;
- Request Mutin to perform unlawful or prohibited activity; or
- Interfere with the operation or security of Mutin’s website or Services.
Mutin may refuse or discontinue Services that we reasonably believe involve prohibited activity.
