Terms of Service

Effective date: 14 May 2026 App: ByteGuard Paste (Android, package net.byteguard.paste) Publisher: enim · Contact: enim@byte-guard.net

By installing or using ByteGuard Paste you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

1. The service

ByteGuard Paste is a free Android client for the public paste service at paste.byte-guard.net. The app lets you post short text snippets, optionally protected by a password and an expiry window, and to view pastes you have created.

2. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the app or the service to upload, share, or distribute:

• Content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or that infringes the intellectual-property rights of others.
• Malware, phishing pages, credential-stuffing material, or anything designed to harm a computer system or another person.
• Credentials, API keys, personal data of third parties without their consent, or any material covered by export controls.
• Automated bulk content intended to abuse the service or to evade rate limits.

We reserve the right to remove any paste from the server at our discretion, and to block IP ranges that abuse the service.

3. No warranty

The service is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. Pastes may become unavailable at any time — through expiry, server cleanup, server outage, or removal. Do not rely on the service to store anything you cannot afford to lose.

4. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the publisher is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the app or the service. The total liability of the publisher to you for any claim arising out of these terms shall not exceed five (5) euros.

5. Your content

You retain all rights to text you post through the app. By posting a paste, you grant the service a non-exclusive license to host and serve that content publicly at its assigned URL for the duration of the chosen expiry window.

6. Privacy

Your use of the app is also governed by the Privacy Policy.

7. Termination

You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate access to the service if you violate these terms.

8. Changes

We may update these terms. The current version is always available at this URL. Continued use of the app after a change constitutes acceptance.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Germany, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions.
