You may have seen a notice asking you to accept new terms, and posts saying the platform will not help with copies of your work that turn up somewhere else. That is a lot to take in when you are already worried about where your work ends up. This page sets out what the new text says, quoted from the platform's own terms pages, read on October 26, 2026, and what you can do about copies posted without your permission.

Where the new terms are, and when they apply
- OnlyFans has published a new version of its Terms of Service at onlyfans.com/terms2026. That page is marked "Last updated: October 2026".
- Its main terms page, onlyfans.com/terms, still showed "Last updated: August 2024" when we read it on October 26, 2026.
- The start date. Neither terms page we read states when the new version takes effect. Check the notice inside your own account for the date that applies to you.
How changes reach you is also worded differently. The new version says: "We will use reasonable efforts to Notify you of any other material change to our Terms of Service so you may delete or modify your account. Once updated you will be bound by the effective Terms of Service if you continue to use OnlyFans." The August 2024 version said OnlyFans "will Notify you so you may delete your account before the changes take effect."
If you get an email about the new terms, open the site by typing its address yourself rather than clicking a link in the email.
Copies of your work shared by other people
This is the part most creators ask about. Under the heading "What we are not responsible for", the new version lists:
The August 2024 version already had a similar line: "The circulation of Content recorded in breach of the Terms of Service." The new wording names other users and other platforms directly.
Two related lines appear in both versions:
- The platform says it is "not liable to you if your Content is copied, distributed, reposted elsewhere or its copyright is infringed".
- You "grant us the right to submit notifications of infringement" on your behalf, but "We are under no obligation to submit such notifications or to police infringements of your Content."
Both versions also point to two routes. The DMCA Takedown Policy covers infringing content published on OnlyFans itself, and the Complaints Policy "explains how to make a complaint about infringement of intellectual property rights on platforms other than OnlyFans."
What this means in plain terms. The terms say the platform is "under no obligation" to send infringement notices for you or "to police infringements" of your work. So do not count on the platform to act on copies posted on other sites. You can send takedown notices yourself, or authorize someone to send them for you.
Tools that collect data from content
The new Terms of Use include this clause, which we did not find in the August 2024 Terms of Use page:
If you use any outside tool with your account or your content, read this clause and ask the company that makes the tool how it works with your account and your content.
People who help manage your account
The new version mentions "any third-party that assists with the management of their account and Creator Interactions", in a line saying the platform does not control content such third parties may post. If someone helps run your account, make sure you both know what they post in your name.
What to do now
- Read the notice in your own account and note the date it gives. Type the site's address yourself.
- Save a copy of both versions of the terms, with the date you saved them, so you can compare them later.
- Keep a list of links to copies of your work you find posted without your permission. Our guide on finding copies of your work yourself shows where to look.
- Send takedown notices for those links. Our guide on how to send a DMCA takedown notice has a template.
- Ask Google to drop the links from search results once a notice is in: see how to remove copies from Google Search.
- If someone pushes back with a counter-notice, read what a counter-notice means and what happens next.
If this has just happened to you, start with what to do when your content is leaked.
Where LeakVoid fits
You send us links to copies of your work posted without your permission. We draft the takedown notices. You review them and sign the ones you want sent. Then LeakVoid sends them and shows whether each link is still up. Sites that only take their own web form get a ready-to-file packet instead. Nothing is sent before you sign. Nobody can promise removal.
$49 a month, plus any sales tax that applies where you live. Available in the US except Maine and Utah.
