Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Snap HDDown ("we", "us", "our"), accessible at snaphddown.com (the "Website") and its associated subpages (collectively, the "Service"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you") and Snap HDDown governing your access to and use of the Service.

By visiting the Website, submitting a URL, downloading content, or otherwise using any part of the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must immediately cease using the Service.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and any other persons who access or use the Service, regardless of jurisdiction or device.

2. Description of Service

Snap HDDown is a free, browser-based tool that allows users to download publicly accessible media from Snapchat, including videos, stories, spotlight clips, reels, photos, and profile display pictures. The Service operates by fetching the publicly available Snapchat page you specify, extracting the direct CDN media URL, and facilitating a download from Snapchat's own content delivery network to your device.

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, free of charge, with no registration required. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected to Snap Inc. or the Snapchat platform. "Snapchat", the Snapchat ghost logo, and related marks are trademarks of Snap Inc. All rights to those marks belong to their respective owners.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use the Service. By using the Service you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are under the required age, you must not use the Service.

By using the Service you also represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement and that your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation in your jurisdiction.

4. Acceptable Use Policy

The Service is intended solely for personal, non-commercial use — specifically, to help you save publicly accessible Snapchat content that you have a legitimate reason to download. You agree to use the Service only in ways that are lawful, ethical, and consistent with these Terms.

Permitted uses include: saving a public Spotlight clip you want to watch offline, archiving your own publicly shared content, or downloading media you have explicit written permission from the creator to reproduce. You are solely responsible for ensuring your download and subsequent use of any content complies with all applicable laws, including copyright law, and with Snapchat's Terms of Service.

5. Prohibited Activities

You agree that you will not use the Service to:

• Download, reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit content for which you do not hold the necessary rights or licences.
• Attempt to access, download, or circumvent protections on private, friends-only, or restricted Snapchat content.
• Scrape, crawl, or automate requests to the Service beyond normal human browsing patterns, or use bots, scripts, or other automated tools to send bulk requests.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Service.
• Use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our servers or networks, or interfere with any other party's use of the Service.
• Upload, transmit, or distribute any viruses, malware, or other harmful code through or in connection with the Service.
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any local, national, or international law or regulation.
• Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
• Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices embedded in content you download.
• Re-sell or sub-licence access to the Service, or incorporate the Service (or any results returned by it) into a competing product.

Violation of this section may result in immediate termination of your access to the Service and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement authorities.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our Property

The Service — including its design, source code, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, branding, logo, and all original text content — is owned by Snap HDDown and protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms. No other rights are granted.

6.2 Third-Party Content

All media accessible through Snapchat — videos, stories, photos, profile pictures — is owned by Snap Inc. and/or the individual creators who uploaded it. Snap HDDown does not claim ownership of, and acquires no rights in, any content you download through the Service. You are entirely responsible for ensuring your use of downloaded content complies with copyright law and Snapchat's Terms of Service. When in doubt, obtain express written permission from the content creator before reproducing or sharing their work.

6.3 Feedback

If you submit ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Service ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use that Feedback for any purpose without obligation to you.

7. Third-Party Content & Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, including Snapchat, Google Fonts, and our partner sites. These links are provided for convenience only. We have no control over the content, policies, or practices of any third-party site and accept no responsibility for them. Accessing any third-party site via a link on the Service is at your own risk, and you should review the applicable terms and privacy policy of each site you visit.

Media files delivered through the Service are served from Snapchat's CDN. The availability, accuracy, and legality of that content is subject to Snapchat's own policies and is entirely outside our control.

8. Disclaimers & Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Snap HDDown expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to: implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that: (a) the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure; (b) any defects or errors will be corrected; (c) the Service or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components; or (d) the results obtained through the Service will be accurate, reliable, or meet your requirements. Snapchat may change its platform at any time, which may temporarily or permanently affect the functionality of our Service.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Snap HDDown, its operators, directors, employees, agents, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to: loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage, system failure, or the cost of substitute services — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability to you for any claims arising out of or related to the Service shall not exceed USD $10 (ten United States dollars) or the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, whichever is greater. Because the Service is provided free of charge, this means our liability to you is effectively zero in most circumstances.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities, so the above limitations may not apply to you in full. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Snap HDDown and its operators, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your use or misuse of the Service; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any intellectual property, privacy, or proprietary right; or (d) your violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation.

11. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service, at our sole discretion, at any time and without prior notice, for any reason, including but not limited to: your breach of these Terms, conduct that we believe is harmful to other users or the Service, or any activity that violates applicable law.

Upon termination, all licences granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including, without limitation, intellectual property ownership, disclaimers, indemnification, limitations of liability, and governing law — shall survive.

12. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall first be attempted to be resolved informally by contacting us at info@snaphddown.com. We will make a good-faith effort to resolve any dispute within 30 days.

If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration or in the courts of competent jurisdiction, depending on the laws applicable in your jurisdiction. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief where necessary to protect intellectual property rights or prevent imminent harm.

13. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be announced on the homepage. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

We encourage you to review these Terms periodically. The most current version will always be available at snaphddown.com/terms-of-service/.
