Welcome to ZPST(“the Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using our website, API, or related services (“Services”), you agree to comply with these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our [Privacy Policy].

If you do not agree, please discontinue use immediately.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using ZPST, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms.

We may modify these Terms at any time. Updates will be posted on this page, and continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the revised Terms.

2. Description of Service

ZPST is an online platform that allows users to create, store, share, and view text-based content (“Pastes”).

You may post anonymous or registered pastes and access the Service through a web interface or our API.

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction) to use this Service.

By using the Site or API, you affirm that you meet this requirement and have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms.

4. Anonymous Pastes

You may create and share pastes without registering an account. However:

1. Anonymous pastes are public by default, unless specified otherwise (e.g., unlisted/private links).
2. Since no account is associated, anonymous pastes cannot be edited or deleted once created.
3. We may delete anonymous pastes at any time for maintenance, storage limits, or policy violations.
4. We do not guarantee long-term hosting or visibility of anonymous content.

5. User Content and Responsibility

1. You own or have permission to share the content.
2. Your content does not violate any laws or third-party rights.
3. Your content does not contain malware, phishing links, or other harmful code.

We reserve the right to remove or restrict content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

6. Prohibited Activities

You may not use ZPST to:

1. Post illegal, hateful, or pornographic material.
2. Harass or impersonate individuals or organizations.
3. Publish others’ private or confidential information (“doxxing”).
4. Post copyrighted material without authorization.
5. Circumvent access controls or interfere with the Service.
6. Use bots or automated tools outside of approved API use.

Violation of these rules may result in content removal, API suspension, or IP blocking.

7. Intellectual Property and License

You retain ownership of the content you post.

By submitting content, you grant ZPST a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute your content for the purpose of operating and improving the Service.

The ZPST name, logo, design, and source code are protected trademarks and intellectual property of the Site operators. You may not reproduce or distribute them without written permission.
