Acceptable Use Policy

PasteGrab provides link-based download tools for public media URLs. This acceptable use policy explains what you may and may not do with the service. You must only process content you own, created, or are explicitly permitted to save. A downloader is a tool — not permission to copy restricted media.

Permitted uses

Typical permitted uses include archiving your own public posts, saving clips you licensed for a campaign, extracting audio from interviews you have rights to keep, and downloading openly available educational or conference talks your institution allows offline. Always verify the page is public: if it does not play in an incognito browser window, PasteGrab cannot ethically fetch it.

Prohibited uses

• DRM circumvention, paywall bypassing, or unlawful extraction workflows.
• Downloading private, login-only, or subscriber-gated content without authorization.
• Automated abuse, scraping at rates that degrade service for others, or attempts to bypass rate limits.
• Redistributing downloaded media when you lack rights from the copyright holder or platform terms.

Your responsibilities

You are responsible for how you use files PasteGrab prepares. Follow platform terms of service, copyright law, and any client or employer policies that apply to your work. Do not attempt to bypass compliance controls on our infrastructure. Teams should document why each URL was saved when working on client campaigns.

• Verify you have rights to save and use downloaded files.
• Follow platform terms of service and applicable copyright law.
• Do not attempt to bypass compliance controls or rate limits.

Enforcement

We may suspend or terminate access when we detect abuse, repeated policy violations, or attempts to circumvent technical safeguards. Compliance logs may be retained when restricted URLs are submitted. Report suspected abuse to abuse@pastegrab.com.
