Kliplet
Terms of Service
The short version. Kliplet saves content for your personal knowledge management. Don't redistribute clipped content publicly. The software is proprietary and provided "as is" without warranty.
1. Agreement
By installing or using the Kliplet browser extension, the Kliplet website (kliplet.com), or any associated source code, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please uninstall the extension. There is no other relationship to terminate — we do not run an account service.
2. What Kliplet is
Kliplet is a proprietary web clipper, distributed as a browser extension. All rights reserved; the licence file is bundled inside the extension package. It saves articles, selections, highlights, and screenshots to destinations you own and operate (a Notion workspace, a local Obsidian vault, a local Logseq or Joplin instance, or your Downloads folder).
3. Fair use and personal knowledge management
Kliplet exists to support your personal knowledge management: the practice of saving things you read so you can find, annotate, and reference them later. Saving a copy of a web page for your own reading and reference is generally protected by the fair-use doctrine in the United States and by analogous personal-use exceptions in many other jurisdictions — the same legal basis that has supported services like Pocket, Instapaper, and the official Notion and Obsidian web clippers for years.
Specifically, you agree to use Kliplet to clip content for your personal knowledge management only. You agree not to use Kliplet to:
- Build a corpus of third-party copyrighted material for public republication, resale, or training of machine-learning models you don't own the rights to.
- Bypass paywalls, access controls, or DRM. Kliplet only captures content your browser has already rendered — it does not unlock anything for you, but you should still respect the access terms of the sites you visit.
- Scrape sites at automated rates that violate those sites' terms of service or robots policies. Kliplet is a one-click tool driven by a human; please keep it that way.
- Violate any applicable law in your jurisdiction.
4. Your content, your responsibility
You decide what to clip and where to send it. Kliplet does not see, store, or moderate your content — it is a thin pipe from the page to the tool you connected. You are responsible for the legality and ethics of what you save, and for any obligations you may owe to the publishers of the material you clip.
5. Third-party services
When you connect Notion or Obsidian, you also agree to the terms of those services. Kliplet has no control over them and is not responsible for their availability, pricing, or future changes. Notion's terms are at notion.so/terms; Obsidian's are at obsidian.md/terms.
6. No warranty
Kliplet is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no guarantees that:
- Every clip will succeed (web pages change shape; templates may need updating).
- Connected services (Notion, Obsidian) will always be available.
- The offline queue will retry indefinitely (queue capacity is bounded; see the README).
Use Kliplet, but don't rely on it as your only backup. Keep originals.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither the Kliplet authors nor the maintainers will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost data, lost clips, missed deadlines, or hurt feelings — arising from your use of the extension.
8. Intellectual property
Kliplet, its source code, brand, name, and logo are proprietary. All rights are reserved. You may use the extension in accordance with these Terms; you may not redistribute, modify, decompile, or rebrand it without our written permission.
9. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms occasionally. When we do, we'll bump the effective date at the top of this page and post a notice on this site and in the extension's Chrome Web Store release notes. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
