1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using TikOsa, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by these terms, please do not use this service.
2. Description of Service
TikOsa provides a web-based utility allowing users to download publicly available videos from TikTok. We do not host, store, or own any of the media downloaded through our service.
3. Copyright & Fair Use
We respect intellectual property rights and expect you to do the same. By using TikOsa, you agree that:
- You will only download content for which you have the right to do so (e.g., personal use, fair use, or with permission from the creator).
- You will not use downloaded content for commercial purposes without explicit permission from the original copyright holder.
- We are not responsible for any copyright infringement or misuse of downloaded media committed by users.
4. DMCA & Copyright Take-Down Policy
TikOsa complies fully with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. ยง 512, and applicable international copyright legislation. Because our web tool does not host, store, or index video files on its own servers, all downloadable content remains hosted exclusively on third-party platform servers (ByteDance/TikTok).
If you are a copyright owner or authorized representative and believe that a publicly accessible link parsed by our service infringes upon your copyright, please file a formal notification with all six DMCA-required elements. For full details of the takedown process, counter-notification rights, and our designated copyright agent contact information, please visit our dedicated DMCA & Copyright Policy page.
Summary of submission requirements: (1) Signature of copyright owner or agent; (2) Identification of the infringed work; (3) Identification of the infringing URL; (4) Your contact information; (5) Good faith belief statement; (6) Accuracy and authority statement under penalty of perjury.
Designated Agent: dmca@tikosa.app
4a. Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with DMCA safe harbor requirements, TikOsa maintains a strict repeat infringer policy. IP addresses, referral sources, or automated scripts found to be systematically associated with verified copyright infringement will be permanently blocked from accessing the parsing service. TikOsa will terminate access for repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
5. Prohibited Uses & Automated Scraping
When utilizing TikOsa, users agree not to engage in any of the following restricted activities:
- Attempting to bypass, disable, or interfere with security features, rate limits, or access controls implemented on TikOsa.
- Using automated scripts, bots, scrapers, or crawlers to flood our API endpoints with excessive concurrent request traffic.
- Using downloaded media to harass, defame, impersonate, or infringe upon the privacy rights of any individual or creator.
- Redistributing or monetizing downloaded media without securing necessary intellectual property licenses from the original creator.
6. Disclaimer of Warranties
Your use of the service is at your sole risk. The service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that the service will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
7. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall TikOsa, nor its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your access to or use of or inability to access or use the service.
8. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with applicable governing laws, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
9a. Copyright Disclaimer
TikOsa provides a technical parsing utility only. We do not host, store, or distribute any copyrighted media files. All content accessed through TikOsa remains on and is served directly from third-party platform servers. Users are solely responsible for ensuring their use of downloaded content complies with the copyright laws of their respective jurisdiction.
