Terms of use

• Registration requires a minimum age of 16. The purchase of a paid plan requires a minimum age of 18, or the consent of a parent or guardian.
• An account is personal to one natural person. It may not be shared, transferred, or made available to others for payment.
• Accounts may not be registered by automated means.
• Sign-in takes place by means of a link sent to your email address. You are responsible for the security of that email account and for all activity under your account.
• You must provide a valid email address. We use it for sign-in, for communications relating to your account, and for the notices provided for in these terms.

Your username forms part of the address of your public pages. It must not infringe any trademark, company name, name right, or other right of a third party, must not impersonate any person, company, or organisation, and must not mislead as to your identity or any affiliation.

We may withdraw a username and assign a different one to your account if:

• we receive a substantiated notice that the username infringes a trademark, company name, or other right of a third party, or the name right of a person (§ 12 BGB),
• the proprietor of a trademark or company name requests the username and has a legitimate interest that outweighs yours, in particular because the username corresponds to their mark or name,
• the username impersonates another person or organisation, or is offensive or unlawful, or
• withdrawal is necessary to protect Savepad, its users, or its operation.

Before withdrawing a username, we notify you by email and give you at least 14 days to respond, unless the infringement is evident or the matter is urgent. Your account, your saves, and your public pages are not otherwise affected. The previous address no longer redirects to your pages. No compensation is payable for a withdrawn username, and it may be assigned to the party with the better right.

You may change your username yourself once every 90 days. A previous username remains reserved for you for 90 days after a change or after the closure of your account, and is then released.

All rights in the content you save remain with you or with their respective holders. We claim no rights in it beyond those granted in this clause.

You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free right, limited to the purpose of providing Savepad to you, to store, reproduce, process, and transmit your content, and in particular to save it; to retrieve the web pages you link to; to create previews, screenshots, thumbnails, and readable copies; to extract text and colours; to recognise text in images; to index it for search; to back it up; to export it for you; and to make it available to the persons you choose, including the public where you make it public. This right ends when the content is deleted, subject to the retention of backups as described in the privacy policy.

On every plan and without time limit:

• your content is not used to train artificial intelligence models,
• your content is not sold, licensed, or disclosed to third parties for their own purposes,
• your content is not used for advertising,
• you may export your content at any time in open formats.

You are solely responsible for the content you save and share. You warrant that you are entitled to make and keep the copies you make with Savepad and, where you make content public, to make it available to the public. Much of the content saved in Savepad, such as web pages, advertisements, emails, and images, is protected by the rights of third parties. Whether a copy for reference purposes is permitted, for example as a private copy under § 53 UrhG, depends on the applicable law and the purpose of the copy, and in particular on whether it is made in the course of a business. Making third-party content public is subject to stricter requirements than keeping it privately (clause 6).

Content saved by users does not represent our views. We do not endorse, verify, or adopt it. Under Arts. 6 and 8 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), which § 7 DDG implements in Germany, we have no general obligation to monitor it. We act upon notices in accordance with clause 7.

Savepad is not intended for storing personal data of third parties. You may not store in Savepad any personal data of third parties beyond what is incidental to a reference, such as a name appearing in a screenshot of an advertisement or the sender of a forwarded newsletter. In particular, you may not store:

• identity documents, such as passports, identity cards, or driving licences,
• banking, payment, or tax information, such as account statements, card details, or tax returns,
• legal documents, such as contracts, court documents, or correspondence with lawyers or authorities,
• medical or health records,
• passwords, access credentials, or keys,
• files containing personal data of customers, clients, employees, or other persons, such as customer lists, CRM exports, or application documents,
• special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 GDPR, or data relating to criminal convictions and offences within the meaning of Art. 10 GDPR.

We do not process personal data on behalf of other controllers and do not conclude data processing agreements under Art. 28 GDPR. You may not use Savepad to process personal data on behalf of another person or on behalf of your business. If you nevertheless store personal data of third parties, you do so on your own responsibility. You are responsible for the lawfulness of that storage, and you indemnify us in accordance with clause 15 against claims arising from it.

We may delete content that contravenes this clause once we become aware of it.

Absolute prohibition

Savepad must not be used in connection with any material that sexualises minors. This includes child sexual abuse material in any form, whether real, drawn, written, or generated by artificial intelligence, and any content that grooms, sexualises, or exploits a minor. Where we become aware of such material, we remove it, permanently close the account without notice, retain the data we are legally required to retain, and report the matter to the competent authorities.

Content prohibited in all areas of Savepad, private and public

• pornographic and sexually explicit material,
• intimate images of a person stored or shared without that person's consent,
• terrorist or violent extremist content, and content that glorifies, incites, or threatens violence,
• content that attacks, or incites hatred or violence against, persons on the basis of race, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or similar characteristics, including content that is punishable under § 130 StGB,
• content that promotes or encourages suicide, self-harm, or eating disorders,
• harassment, bullying, threats, insults, and defamation,
• personal data of third parties in contravention of clause 5, including the disclosure of private information about a person without their consent,
• malware, phishing pages, scams, and fraudulent content, including where saved or shared in order to deceive others,
• offers of, or instructions for the manufacture of, weapons, narcotics, or other illegal goods or services,
• any other content that is unlawful under German or EU law, or under the law applicable to you.

Copyright and other rights of third parties

Savepad is intended for keeping references. You may not:

• use Savepad to store, collect, or distribute pirated or unlicensed material, such as films, series, music, books, software, fonts, paid courses, or other works you are not entitled to reproduce,
• use Savepad to host files for distribution, in particular by making files available through public pages or private links to persons who could not otherwise lawfully obtain them,
• make third-party works available in full on a public page where you are not entitled to do so,
• remove or obscure copyright notices, watermarks, or source references in order to present third-party content as your own.

We act upon notices of infringements of copyright, trademarks, and other rights in accordance with clause 7. Where an account repeatedly stores or shares infringing content, we may close it.

Public pages and private links

Content made public may be viewed by anyone and may be read by search engines and artificial intelligence assistants. You decide what you make public and are responsible for it. Public pages must not impersonate any person or organisation, must not mislead as to who is responsible for them, and must not direct visitors to scams or malware. We may remove content from public view, or instruct search engines not to index it, where it contravenes these terms or the law.

Use of the service

You may not:

• scrape, crawl, or mass-download public pages or private links of other users, except as a search engine or assistant acting in accordance with our robots.txt,
• circumvent plan limits, rate limits, or technical protection measures, or use the API or the MCP server in a manner that impairs the service for others,
• resell, rent, or sublicense access to Savepad,
• send unsolicited messages through email capture, public pages, or private links,
• attempt to breach security measures, access another user's data, or test the service for vulnerabilities without our prior consent. Vulnerabilities may be reported to [email protected],
• harass or abuse the persons operating Savepad.

Savepad refuses to save links to known pornographic, malware, and phishing websites. This list is a safeguard and does not mean that any content not on it is permitted.

Notices. Any person may report content they consider unlawful or in breach of these terms, including infringements of copyright and trademarks, using the form at my.savepad.app/report or by email to [email protected]. In accordance with Art. 16 of the Digital Services Act, a notice should contain the location of the content, an explanation of why it is considered unlawful, the name and email address of the notifier (except for notices concerning child sexual abuse material), and a statement that the notice is submitted in good faith. We confirm receipt and inform the notifier of our decision.

Review. Every notice is reviewed and decided by a person. We do not use automated means to moderate content, with the exception of the list of refused websites referred to in clause 6. We act in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary, and objective manner.

Measures. Depending on the circumstances, we may remove content from public view, delete content, disable a private link, withdraw a username, restrict features, suspend an account, or close it. Measures are proportionate to the severity of the breach and take account of whether it has been repeated. Content concerning the sexual abuse of minors, terrorist content, and content threatening a person's life is removed immediately. Where we become aware of information giving rise to a suspicion that a criminal offence involving a threat to the life or safety of a person has taken place, is taking place, or is likely to take place, we inform the competent authorities in accordance with Art. 18 of the Digital Services Act.

Statement of reasons. Where we remove or restrict your content or your account, we inform you of the measure, the reasons for it, the facts relied on, and the means of redress available to you (Art. 17 of the Digital Services Act), unless we are prohibited by law from doing so or the content is deceptive high-volume commercial content.

Complaints. You may contest a decision by replying to our message or by writing to [email protected] within six months of being informed of it. This applies both to notifiers and to users whose content was affected. A person not involved in the original decision reviews the complaint. Your right to bring proceedings before the courts, or to refer the dispute to an out-of-court dispute settlement body certified under Art. 21 of the Digital Services Act, remains unaffected.

Misuse. Where a user frequently provides manifestly unlawful content, or a person frequently submits manifestly unfounded notices or complaints, we may suspend the user's account or the processing of that person's notices for a reasonable period after prior warning (Art. 23 of the Digital Services Act).

Point of contact. [email protected] is our single point of contact for users, for the authorities of the Member States, for the European Commission, and for the European Board for Digital Services (Arts. 11 and 12 of the Digital Services Act). Communications may be made in English or German.

Savepad is provided as a hosted service. The features included in each plan are described on the pricing page as at the time of registration or upgrade.

We may modify Savepad, in particular to add or improve features, to maintain security, or to comply with the law. Where a modification materially impairs a paid feature you use, we notify you at least 30 days in advance, and you may cancel your plan before the modification takes effect (clause 10). The export function will not be removed.

The retrieval of web pages, the processing of emails, and the display of maps depend on third-party services and websites. Websites may block retrieval, and previews are limited to what a website permits. We do not guarantee that a preview, screenshot, or page version can be created for every link.

Features designated as beta in the application may be changed or discontinued.

We do not guarantee any particular availability and do not offer a service level agreement. We may interrupt the service for maintenance and will give notice in advance where reasonably possible.

Your statutory rights in the event that Savepad does not conform to the contract, in particular under §§ 327 et seq. BGB, remain unaffected.

Free plan. Savepad may be used free of charge within the limits stated on the pricing page. No payment details are required.

Paid plans. The Light and Ultra Pro Max Plus plans are subscriptions billed monthly in advance. They are sold by Paddle.com Market Limited ("Paddle") as merchant of record. Paddle processes payment, charges the applicable taxes, and issues invoices, and the Paddle buyer terms apply to the purchase. We provide Savepad to you under these terms.

Prices. Prices for consumers in the European Union include value added tax. The price shown at checkout, in the currency shown, is the monthly price payable. Businesses with a valid VAT identification number may be invoiced without value added tax under the reverse-charge procedure.

Term and renewal. A subscription renews automatically each month until cancelled. There is no minimum term beyond the month paid for.

Cancellation. You may cancel at any time while signed in to your account, in Settings under Plan and billing, or on the cancellation page linked from there (§ 312k BGB). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing month, and you retain the paid plan until that date. Clause 11 applies to cancellations within 14 days of purchase. We confirm every cancellation by email.

End of a paid plan. At the end of a paid plan, your account reverts to the free plan. Your saved content is retained and may be exported. Where your account exceeds the limits of the free plan, no further content can be added until it is within those limits, and features reserved to paid plans cease to be available.

Price changes. We will increase the price of an existing subscription only with your consent. We will request your consent by email at least 6 weeks before the new price is to apply. If you do not consent, your subscription continues at the existing price, and we may terminate it with effect from the end of a billing month on at least 30 days' notice.

Failed payments. If a payment fails, Paddle will retry it and notify you. If payment is not made, your account reverts to the free plan as described above. Saved content is not deleted as a result of a failed payment.

If you are a consumer, you have a statutory right to withdraw from a contract for a paid plan within 14 days of its conclusion without giving any reason. The withdrawal notice (Widerrufsbelehrung) and the model withdrawal form are provided at checkout and with the order confirmation, and prevail over this clause in the event of any inconsistency.

If you cancel a paid plan or close your account within 14 days of purchasing the paid plan, we refund the full amount paid for it, whether or not the plan has already started and whatever your reason, and the paid plan ends when the cancellation is received. This applies in addition to, and is more favourable than, the statutory right of withdrawal: you do not have to pay any amount for the service provided until then (§ 357a (2) BGB does not apply). Refunds are made by Paddle using the original means of payment.

You may export your saved content at any time, on every plan, in Settings. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of content you cannot afford to lose.

You may close your account at any time in Settings. Closing the account terminates the contract for the free plan and cancels any paid plan with immediate effect; billing stops when the account is closed, and clause 11 applies if this happens within 14 days of purchase. The consequences for your data are set out in the privacy policy: saved content is deleted after 30 days in the bin, and the closed account record is retained so that you can restore your account, unless you request its erasure.

14.1 Unlimited liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence; for injury to life, body, or health; for fraudulently concealed defects and under any guarantee we have given; under the Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz); and in all other cases where liability cannot be limited by law, including your statutory rights in respect of digital products under §§ 327 et seq. BGB and your rights under the GDPR.

14.2 Ordinary negligence

In cases of ordinary negligence, we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation, being an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose fulfilment you may regularly rely (Kardinalpflicht). The material contractual obligations of Savepad are the storage of your saved content, its provision to you, the export function, and compliance with clause 4 and the privacy policy. In such cases, our liability is limited to the damage that was typical and foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded.

14.3 Exclusion

Except as provided in clauses 14.1 and 14.2, our liability is excluded.

14.4 Loss of data

Where we are liable for the loss of data, our liability is limited to the cost of restoring the data that would have been incurred had you regularly backed it up using the export function. A failure to keep backups may reduce a claim on the grounds of contributory fault (§ 254 BGB). This clause does not apply where we caused the loss intentionally or by gross negligence.

14.5 Free plan

For the free plan, which is provided free of charge, we are liable only for intent and gross negligence, without prejudice to clause 14.1.

14.6 Scope

The limitations in this clause also apply in favour of our employees, representatives, and vicarious agents. They do not alter the burden of proof to your detriment and do not shorten the statutory limitation periods applicable to consumers.

We may amend these terms where there is a valid reason, in particular a change in the law or in case law, an order of a court or authority, the introduction of new features, or a change in the operation of Savepad, provided that the amendment does not alter the balance between performance and consideration to your detriment. Price changes are governed by clause 10.

We notify you of an amendment by email at least 6 weeks before it takes effect, stating its content and your right to object. If you object within that period, the amendment does not apply to you, and either party may terminate the contract with effect from the date on which the amendment would have taken effect. If you do not object, the amendment takes effect. We draw your attention to this consequence in the notification.
