Explicit Trademark Disclaimer

InstagramFetch is an independent utility. It is not endorsed by Meta or Instagram. Instagram is a trademark of its owner.

All brand names, product emblems, registered trademarks, and logos referenced on this website remain the sole intellectual property of Meta Platforms, Inc. The use of the wordmark “Instagram” is solely descriptive and nominative to indicate utility compatibility.

SECTION 06

Disclaimer & “As-Is” Warranty

Warranty Specification: The software is provided as-is. Live resolve may fail when Instagram serves a login wall to datacenter IPs or changes public endpoints.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, InstagramFetch and its operators expressly disclaim all warranties, whether statutory, express, or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and continuous uptime availability.

We do not warrant that the utility will be uninterrupted, error-free, immune from upstream rate limiting, or compatible with future private API shifts implemented by social networks.
