4. Copyright and Intellectual Property
4.1 All content on third-party platforms is the intellectual property of the original creators and/or the hosting platform. SelfDownloader makes no claim to any third-party content.
4.2 You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of downloaded content complies with copyright law, source platform terms, and the rights of content creators.
4.3 In many jurisdictions, downloading for personal, non-commercial use may constitute fair use or fair dealing. You are responsible for understanding the copyright laws in your jurisdiction.
4.4 SelfDownloader's own website design, branding, and written content are our intellectual property and may not be reproduced without written permission.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
SelfDownloader is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that:
- The service will be uninterrupted or error-free at all times
- Downloads will always succeed or be in the expected quality
- Any particular content will remain downloadable (platforms change frequently)
- The service is free of harmful components
6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SelfDownloader and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of our tools, copyright claims related to downloaded content, loss of data, device issues, or any third-party action resulting from your use.
7. No Affiliation with Third-Party Platforms
SelfDownloader is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Pinterest, Twitter/X, Tubidy, MP3 Juice, Studocu, Scribd, SlideShare, or any other supported platform. All product names and brands are the property of their respective owners.
8. Advertising
SelfDownloader displays advertising to fund our free services. Ads are served by third-party networks and are subject to those networks' policies. We do not endorse advertisers or their products.
9. Availability and Service Changes
We aim to keep every tool available and working, but we reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any tool or feature at any time, with or without notice — for example, to comply with a platform's policy change, respond to a legal request, or retire a tool that is no longer reliable enough to keep online. We are not liable for any inconvenience caused by a tool being temporarily or permanently unavailable.
Because our tools depend on third-party platforms that we do not control, occasional downtime, slower processing, or format limitations can occur even when our own systems are functioning normally. We work to minimize disruption but cannot guarantee a specific level of uptime.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold SelfDownloader, its operators, and affiliates harmless from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third party's intellectual property or other rights through content you download or share.
11. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining Terms otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
12. Governing Interpretation
These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, which form part of the overall agreement between you and selfdownloader.com. Where there is a direct conflict between this page and another policy on more specific subject matter, the more specific policy governs on that particular point.
13. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance. We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page when changes are made.
