Thanks for using Ripper.bot. These terms cover what we promise, what we expect from you, and the boundaries we need to keep the tool fast, useful, and hard to abuse. Using Ripper.bot — whether at ripper.bot or any related subdomain — means you've read and agreed to the rules below.
1. Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using Ripper.bot, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use the service. We may update these terms from time to time; the "last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version. Continued use after a change means you accept the new terms.
2. What Ripper.bot does
Ripper.bot is a web tool that takes a public URL you paste into the homepage, renders that page in a sandboxed headless browser, and returns a single ZIP containing a self-contained HTML copy of the page plus its rendered assets (images, stylesheets, scripts, fonts where possible). It's built to be a convenient way to archive or study public pages you're allowed to copy.
Ripper.bot is operated by the Ripper.bot team. An account is required to start a rip. Accounts are passwordless: you can sign in with an email magic link or Continue with Google. Your first rip is free; after that, rips use credits you can add from the account page.
3. Your account and email
To rip a page, you need an account tied to an email address you control. We use your account email to:
- Sign you in through a magic link or Google OAuth.
- Deliver your ZIP download in the browser and by email.
- Show your rip history on the account page.
- Enforce fair-use quotas and credit balances.
- Send occasional product updates related to Ripper.bot.
You're responsible for keeping access to that email secure. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account record by emailing support@ripper.bot. See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.
4. Acceptable use
You are fully responsible for every URL you submit and for what you do with the resulting ZIP. Ripping a page does not transfer any rights in its content. You may only use Ripper.bot on pages you have the legal right to copy — your own pages, pages licensed for reuse (e.g. public-domain, Creative Commons, or similar), or pages where fair use clearly applies under your jurisdiction.
You agree not to use Ripper.bot to:
- Infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, trade dress, or other intellectual-property rights.
- Rip a competitor's site and pass it off as your own.
- Scrape at scale, circumvent our rate limits, or automate the tool with scripts, bots, or multiple throwaway emails.
- Stress-test, probe, penetration-test, or attempt to attack our infrastructure.
- Violate a target site's terms of service, robots policy, or any applicable law.
- Capture content involving minors in a sexual context (CSAM), credible threats, or other material that is illegal in the United States.
- Distribute malware, phishing kits, or weaponized copies of real services designed to deceive users.
If you see someone abusing Ripper.bot, email support@ripper.bot with details.
5. Prohibited targets
Some kinds of URLs are always off-limits, regardless of intent:
- Private, internal, or link-local networks — anything on
127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8,192.168.0.0/16,172.16.0.0/12,169.254.0.0/16, IPv6 loopback/link-local ranges, or similar. We block these at the infrastructure level; don't try to route around it. - Pages behind a login, paywall, or auth gate you don't own. If the page requires someone else's credentials to load, it's not public and we can't capture it for you.
- Content you don't have the rights to reproduce. "Publicly accessible" is not the same as "free to copy." If in doubt, ask the site owner first.
- Pages known to host malware, exploit kits, or CSAM.
6. Quotas and rate limits
Your first rip is free. After that, each successful rip consumes credits from your account unless you hold a lifetime entitlement. Today we also allow up to 3 started rips per 24-hour window per account email, with additional per-IP rate limits to deter abuse. We may tune limits, credit costs, pack pricing, or availability without notice if the tool is being misused or our hosting costs change. If you have a legitimate commercial need for higher volume, email support@ripper.bot.
7. Service availability
Ripper.bot is provided on a best-effort basis. We don't offer an uptime SLA, a guaranteed response time, or any warranty that a specific page will rip successfully. Some sites are intentionally difficult to mirror — heavy JavaScript apps, sites that actively block headless browsers, pages behind rapid-rotation anti-bot systems — and those captures may fail, be partial, or render differently than the original.
8. Intellectual property
The Ripper.bot name, logo, wordmark, and the design and code of this site are owned by Ripper.bot and protected by copyright and trademark law. You may not reproduce, rebrand, or fork Ripper.bot as your own service.
Captured content — everything inside the ZIP we hand you — remains the property of whoever owns the source page. Ripper.bot makes no claim of ownership over third-party pages it captures on your behalf, and you shouldn't either.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
Ripper.bot is provided "as is" and "as available." We disclaim, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all warranties — express, implied, or statutory — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, and uninterrupted access. We don't warrant that the service will meet your needs, that it will be error-free, or that captured files will be perfect reproductions of the source page.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ripper.bot and our officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from your use of Ripper.bot, including lost profits, lost data, reputational harm, or legal claims brought by third parties.
Our total aggregate liability to you, for any and all claims relating to Ripper.bot, will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions don't allow certain liability exclusions; in those places, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.
11. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ripper.bot and our affiliates from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your use of Ripper.bot, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any law or third-party right, or (d) any content you capture and then redistribute. We reserve the right to assume exclusive defense of any matter you'd otherwise indemnify us for, in which case you agree to cooperate.
12. Termination
We can suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to Ripper.bot at any time, for any reason, including suspected abuse, violation of these Terms, or if we decide to shut the service down. Unused credits are not cash, stored value, or a bank balance. Any sections that by their nature should survive termination — intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, governing law — will survive.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms periodically. When we do, we'll change the "last updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, we may also send a notice to users with an email on file. Your continued use of Ripper.bot after an update constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to Ripper.bot will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. If you're a consumer located somewhere that grants you mandatory local protections, nothing in this paragraph removes those rights.
15. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a right isn't a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them freely as part of a merger, acquisition, or reorganization. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding Ripper.bot.
