Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026 · Effective immediately · By using DevPaste, you agree to these terms

⚠️

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using DevPaste. By accessing or using the service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, do not use DevPaste.

1 About DevPaste

DevPaste is a zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted secret-sharing service provided by DevStudioAl (devstudioal.com). The service allows users to create encrypted pastes that can be shared via a unique URL.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of DevPaste, including the website, API, and all related services (collectively, the "Service").

2 Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years of age to use DevPaste. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. If you are between 16 and 18 years old, you confirm that you have the permission of a parent or legal guardian to use the Service.

If you are using DevPaste on behalf of an organisation or business, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

3 Acceptable Use

You agree to use DevPaste only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms. The Service is designed for sharing sensitive but legitimate information such as passwords, API keys, credentials, and configuration data.

You are solely responsible for all content you create, share, or transmit through DevPaste.

4 Prohibited Content and Activities

You must not use DevPaste to store, share, or transmit any of the following:

  • Content that is illegal under applicable local, national, or international law
  • Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content that sexualises minors
  • Malware, ransomware, spyware, trojans, or any other malicious code
  • Credentials, access tokens, or account details obtained through unauthorised access or data theft
  • Content intended to facilitate fraud, phishing, identity theft, or financial crime
  • Threats, harassment, or content designed to intimidate or harm individuals
  • Content that violates the intellectual property rights of others
  • Classified government or military information without authorisation

You must not use DevPaste to:

  • Conduct automated scraping, crawling, or bulk paste creation
  • Attempt to bypass, disable, or circumvent any security measure of the Service
  • Perform denial-of-service attacks or stress-testing without written permission
  • Attempt to enumerate, guess, or brute-force paste IDs or passwords beyond normal use
  • Resell or commercialise access to the Service without written authorisation from DevStudioAl

5 Zero-Knowledge Architecture and Our Limitations

DevPaste is designed so that we cannot read the content of your pastes. The encryption key never reaches our server. This means:

  • We cannot recover your content if you lose the link
  • We cannot assist law enforcement in decrypting paste content
  • We cannot moderate, review, or filter the content of pastes
  • We cannot delete a specific paste based on its content (we can delete by ID upon a valid legal request)

You are entirely responsible for the content you encrypt and share. The zero-knowledge design does not grant immunity from legal liability. If you use DevPaste to commit or facilitate a crime, you remain fully liable under applicable law.

6 Intellectual Property

DevPaste is open-source software released under the MIT License. The source code is available at github.com/DevStudioAl/devpaste.

The DevPaste name, DevStudioAl name, and associated branding and logos are the property of DevStudioAl. You may not use them without written permission except as required to accurately identify the Service (for example, in attribution).

You retain all rights to the content you encrypt and store through the Service.

7 Service Availability

DevPaste is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times, uninterrupted, or error-free. We may suspend or discontinue the Service at any time without notice.

Because pastes are automatically deleted after their expiry period, you should not rely on DevPaste as a long-term or permanent storage solution. Always keep a separate copy of critical information.

8 Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DevStudioAl disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to:

  • Warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement
  • Warranties that the Service will meet your requirements or expectations
  • Warranties that the Service will be secure, free from vulnerabilities, or error-free
  • Warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any content

While we implement strong cryptographic protections, no system is completely immune from attack. You use the Service at your own risk.

9 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DevStudioAl and its operators, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any:

  • Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
  • Loss of data, revenue, profits, or business opportunities
  • Damages arising from unauthorised access to or alteration of your transmissions or data
  • Damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service
  • Damages arising from content created or shared by you or third parties

In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

10 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DevStudioAl and its operators from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:

  • Your use of the Service
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any applicable law or third-party rights
  • Any content you create, transmit, or share through the Service

11 Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to DevPaste at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law — to the extent technically feasible given the zero-knowledge architecture.

Because we cannot read paste content, termination actions are limited to blocking access by paste ID or IP address. You may also voluntarily stop using the Service at any time.

12 Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable to DevStudioAl's place of operation, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that jurisdiction.

13 Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Changes will be indicated by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of DevPaste after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

We will not retroactively apply more restrictive terms to pastes that were already created before the change.
