Terms & Conditions

By accessing, browsing, or utilizing Zap Metadata (accessible at zapmetadata.com), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with any portion of these Terms, you must discontinue use of the website immediately.

Zap Metadata provides a browser-based utility that enables users to inspect and strip embedded metadata (such as EXIF, GPS geotags, IPTC, XMP, author names, modification histories, and AI generation parameters) from digital photos, documents, and multimedia files.

The service executes entirely on the user's local device hardware using client-side JavaScript, HTML5 APIs, and WebAssembly. No server-side file conversion, processing, or network file ingestion is performed.

Your Content Remains Exclusively Yours: You retain complete and unrestricted ownership of all intellectual property, copyright, trademarks, and proprietary rights in any files, photographs, artworks, videos, or documents you inspect or sanitize with Zap Metadata.

No License Granted to Zap Metadata: Because files are manipulated exclusively in your local device RAM and are never transmitted to our servers, you do not grant Zap Metadata, its creators, or its hosting infrastructure any license, right, or authorization to view, reproduce, store, or distribute your content.

Our Intellectual Property: The visual branding, logos, layout, custom user interface design, stylesheets, and original client-side source code of Zap Metadata are protected under applicable copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reverse-engineer, clone, or redistribute the proprietary frontend application interface without express written authorization.

You agree to use Zap Metadata only for lawful purposes. You specifically agree not to:

• Use automated scripts, bots, spiders, or scrapers in a manner that degrades, impairs, or disrupts the availability of our static delivery infrastructure.
• Attempt to probe, scan, or compromise any server infrastructure delivering the static web application.
• Inject malicious payloads, exploits, cross-site scripting (XSS), or harmful binary structures into the application.
• Represent yourself as an authorized affiliate or representative of Zap Metadata without written agreement.
• Use the utility to sanitize evidence in contravention of lawful court subpoenas, criminal investigations, or legal discovery obligations.

While Zap Metadata uses surgical, lossless binary stream parsing designed to leave image scan coefficients and document bodies intact, unexpected edge cases in corrupted or non-standard third-party file formats may occur.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

ZAP METADATA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY ARBITRARY DIGITAL FORMAT OR HARDWARE PLATFORM.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ZAP METADATA, ITS DEVELOPERS, AFFILIATES, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

We reserve the right to revise or update these Terms & Conditions at our discretion. When updates occur, the revision date at the top of this document will be amended. Continued utilization of the service following the posting of changes constitutes your full acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with standard principles of internet privacy and consumer protection laws. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
