Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms & Scope of Agreement

Welcome to StealReel (the "Service", "Website", "we", "us", or "our"), accessible via https://stealreel.com. By visiting, browsing, or utilizing any functionality provided by StealReel, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"), together with our Privacy Policy and Responsible Use Guidelines.

If you do not agree unconditionally to all terms and conditions stated herein, you are strictly prohibited from using or accessing StealReel and must terminate your session immediately.

2. Functional Description of Service

StealReel is a free, web-based software utility engineered specifically to facilitate the extraction and downloading of publicly accessible Instagram Reels. The service operates on an ephemeral, client-initiated basis:

• Users provide a public web hyperlink to an Instagram Reel.
• Our automated microservice resolves the publicly exposed video CDN manifest URL corresponding to that link in transient memory (RAM).
• The direct multimedia stream is provided to the user's browser client for local downloading.
• No user media files are archived, duplicated, or broadcasted on StealReel servers.

3. Permitted Personal Use & User Conduct

You are granted a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to access and use StealReel strictly in accordance with these Terms. As an express condition of your access, you warrant and agree that:

• Lawful & Personal Purpose: You will only download content for your own personal, non-commercial, private offline viewing, educational reference, or legitimate fair use under applicable intellectual property statutes.
• No Infringing Redistribution: You will not sell, rent, license, sub-license, syndicate, broadcast, re-upload, or commercially exploit any video or audio downloaded via StealReel without the express written permission of the copyright owner.
• No Infrastructure Abuse: You will not deploy automated bots, spiders, scrapers, crawlers, headless scripts, or bulk-harvesting utilities against StealReel, nor attempt to overload, circumvent rate-limiting thresholds, or disrupt server infrastructure.
• No Circumvention of Access Controls: You will not use StealReel to attempt access to private, restricted, age-gated, or geo-blocked accounts. StealReel is engineered solely for public Instagram Reels.
