1. The service
Browsershot provides a public informational website and open-source command-line software for browser capture and inspection. You may use the website without creating an account. The software runs in your own environment and is not a hosted screenshot service.
The MIT License governs copying, modification, and distribution of the open-source code. These terms apply to your use of the website and software to the extent they do not conflict with that license.
2. Acceptable use
You are responsible for your use of Browsershot and for complying with applicable laws, regulations, licenses, and third-party rights. You must not use the website or software to:
- Violate law or infringe intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
- Access, probe, scan, or disrupt systems, accounts, or data without authorization.
- Bypass security controls or distribute malware or other harmful code.
- Misrepresent your identity or the origin of content.
- Interfere with the website, its hosting infrastructure, or other users.
- Capture or disclose credentials, personal data, or confidential content without the necessary authority.
You are solely responsible for the websites you visit, the commands you run, and the output you create or share. You must obtain any required permission before testing authenticated or private systems.
3. Intellectual property
The Browsershot name, website design, and original website content belong to the project or its licensors. The open-source software is available under the MIT License. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of intellectual property.
You retain ownership of content you submit to the project. You are responsible for having the right to submit it. Contributions to a repository containing a license are licensed under the same terms unless otherwise agreed in writing. Public contributions may be viewed, copied, and redistributed by others under the applicable license.
4. Third-party services and websites
The website and software may link to or interact with third-party services, including GitHub, npm, Cloudflare, browsers, and websites you choose to capture. Those services are governed by their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, or practices.
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the website or software at any time. We do not guarantee that any version will remain available or compatible with your environment.
5. Termination
You may stop using Browsershot at any time. We may restrict access to the website or terminate this agreement if you violate these terms, create risk or legal exposure, or harm other users or the service. Provisions concerning ownership, disclaimers, liability, and disputes survive termination.
6. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the website and software are provided “as is” and “as available,” with all faults and without warranties of any kind. We disclaim all express, implied, and statutory warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, security, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the service will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted or error-free, produce accurate results, or be free of harmful components. You assume the risks associated with downloading, installing, and using the software and with accessing third-party websites. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Browsershot, its maintainers, and contributors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, goodwill, use, or data, arising from or related to the website, software, or these terms. This applies under any legal theory, even if a party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of Browsershot, its maintainers, and contributors for all claims arising from or related to the website, software, or these terms will not exceed US $100 or the amount you paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim, whichever is greater. These limits do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
You are responsible for claims arising from your unlawful or unauthorized use of the service and must indemnify the project maintainers against third-party claims and reasonable expenses caused by that use, to the extent permitted by law.
8. General terms
Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms as the project changes. The date above shows the latest revision. We will post material changes on this page, and where reasonably practicable give at least 30 days’ notice before they take effect. Continued use after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms, subject to non-waivable rights.
Applicable law and disputes
These terms are governed by applicable law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Mandatory consumer protections and dispute rights in your place of residence remain unaffected. Before filing a claim, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally.
Other provisions
These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement about your use of the website and software, except for applicable open-source licenses. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be interpreted to reflect its intent as closely as possible and the remaining provisions will stay in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign this agreement without our consent; we may assign it as part of a transfer of the project.
