服务条款
本文件有中英两个版本,中文版为准并构成你与服务方之间的约定。两份文本如有歧义,以中文版为准。数据如何被处理,另见 隐私政策 与 权限与联网说明。
一、接受条款
下载、安装或使用 Gray Hole(以下称「本软件」),或使用 grayhole.tech 站点及其云同步服务(以下合称「本服务」),即表示你已阅读、理解并同意本条款。如果你不同意,请不要使用本服务。
本服务由个人开发者运营。使用本服务不产生任何雇佣、代理、合伙或合资关系。
二、服务说明
本软件是一款运行在桌面版 Google Chrome 及其兼容浏览器上的网页摘录工具。它的核心功能是把你在网页上主动选中的内容保存到浏览器本地,并提供整理、搜索、导出与分享能力。
本软件默认以纯本地模式运行,不需要账号。云同步是一项可选附加功能,用于在多台设备或浏览器配置之间对齐摘录内容。
本软件通过 Chrome 应用商店分发。安装、更新与卸载都由 Chrome 统一管理,我们不再提供独立的安装包下载。
三、使用许可与限制
在遵守本条款的前提下,我们授予你一项个人的、非独占的、不可转让的许可,允许你在自己拥有或控制的设备上安装并使用本软件。
本软件未附带开源许可协议,因此默认保留所有权利。你可以阅读源码以核实其行为(我们鼓励你这么做),但未经书面许可,不得:
- 再分发、出售、出租、转授本软件,或将其作为其他产品的一部分分发;
- 移除或修改软件内的版权标识、品牌标识与法务声明;
- 基于本软件提供商业化的托管服务或代管服务。
如需上述授权,请写信与我们联系。
四、账号与安全
云同步需要注册账号。你同意:
- 提供真实可用的邮箱地址——验证邮件与密码重置邮件都是发到这里的;
- 妥善保管密码。你对账号下发生的所有活动负责;
- 发现账号被未授权使用时立即通知我们。
请你理解:由于本服务是本地优先架构,忘记密码且无法访问注册邮箱时,云端镜像将无法找回。本地数据不受影响,仍在你的浏览器里。我们建议你定期导出 JSON 备份。
五、你的内容归你所有
你通过本软件摘录的内容,其权利仍然属于你或原始权利人。我们不对你的摘录主张任何所有权。
为了向你提供云同步功能,你授予我们一项范围严格限于运营该功能的许可:存储、传输并回传你上传的摘录数据。该许可不包含用于广告、用于训练模型或提供给第三方的权利。你可以随时通过删除账号终止该许可。
你需要自行确保:你摘录并保存的内容不侵犯他人的著作权或其他权利,且你的使用方式符合你所在地区法律以及内容来源网站的服务条款。摘录功能的存在不构成对「可以摘录任何内容」的授权。
六、可接受的使用方式
你同意不将本服务用于:
- 收集、存储或传播违法内容,或侵犯他人隐私的内容;
- 对云同步接口进行批量扫描、撞库、自动化注册或以其他方式攻击服务;
- 绕过云端的行级访问隔离,尝试读取其他账号的数据;
- 任何蓄意破坏服务可用性、或使服务对其他用户不可用的行为。
出现上述情况时,我们有权暂停或终止你的账号。
七、费用与变更
本服务当前免费提供,完整功能不设功能墙,也没有试用期。
我们保留在未来引入付费项目的权利。如果引入,我们会:
- 在生效前至少 30 天在站内公告,并通过账号邮箱通知存量用户;
- 保证现有功能不因此被收回——付费项将针对新增能力,而非把已经免费提供的能力挪到付费墙后;
- 保证纯本地使用方式在可预见的将来继续免费且可用,即使你不注册任何账号。
由于当前尚未提供任何付费项目,本站不涉及支付信息处理、退款政策与订阅管理。
八、服务按现状提供
本服务按「现状」和「现有」提供,不附带任何形式的明示或默示保证,包括但不限于对适销性、特定用途适用性、准确性与不侵权的保证。
我们不保证:
- 本软件在任意网站、任意浏览器版本上都能正常采集内容。网页结构变化、登录态限制、跨域安全策略、图片链接过期都可能导致采集失败;
- 云同步服务不中断、无延迟或不出错。服务可能因维护、第三方服务故障或容量限制而暂时不可用;
- 摘录内容在导出、导入或同步过程中永不丢失。
请自行保留备份。浏览器卸载扩展、清除站点数据、切换浏览器配置、更换设备,都可能导致本地摘录丢失。请习惯性地使用 JSON 导出功能保存完整备份。
九、责任限制
在适用法律允许的最大范围内,对于因使用或无法使用本服务而产生的任何间接、附带、特殊、后果性或惩罚性损害,包括但不限于数据丢失、利润损失、业务中断,我们不承担责任——无论该责任基于合同、侵权还是其他理论,也无论我们是否已被告知此类损害的可能性。
由于本服务当前为免费提供,我们的累计责任上限为人民币 100 元,或你实际支付的费用总额(以较高者为准)。
本条款不排除或限制任何依适用法律不可排除或限制的责任。
十、服务变更与终止
你可以随时停止使用本服务:导出你的数据,卸载扩展,删除账号。无需通知我们。
我们可能因运营需要修改、暂停或终止全部或部分服务。如果决定停止云同步服务,我们会提前至少 90 天在站内公告并邮件通知,并在关停前保留一段合理的数据导出窗口。届时纯本地功能不受影响。
十一、知识产权
本软件的代码、界面设计、品牌名称「Gray Hole/灰洞」、Logo 与站点文案,其权利归我们或相应权利人所有。本条款未授予你任何商标使用权。
本软件中可能包含的第三方组件,其权利归各自所有者,适用其各自的许可条件。
十二、适用法律与争议解决
本条款的解释与适用以中华人民共和国法律为准,不考虑其法律冲突规则。
因本条款或本服务引起的争议,双方应先通过友好协商解决;协商不成的,提交有管辖权的人民法院裁决。
跨境数据存储:云同步的数据库位于美国西部(俄勒冈)。注册账号并使用云同步,即表示你知悉并同意你的邮箱地址与摘录镜像会被传输并存储至该区域。如果你所在的司法辖区对数据出境有额外要求,请自行评估是否使用云同步——不使用账号时,全部功能都在你本机完成,没有任何数据出境。
如果你位于中华人民共和国境外,请注意:本服务由一个位于中国的个人开发者运营,我们未针对任何特定司法辖区调整本服务的内容或数据处理方式。
十三、条款变更
我们可能不时修订本条款。实质性变更会更新页面顶部的生效日期,并在站点首页公告至少 14 天。变更生效后你继续使用本服务,即视为接受修订后的条款;如不接受,请停止使用并删除账号。

Terms of Service
This document exists in Chinese and English. The Chinese text is authoritative and forms the agreement between you and the operator; where the two differ, the Chinese version governs. For how data is handled, see the Privacy Policy and Permissions & network.
1. Acceptance
By downloading, installing or using Gray Hole (the “software”), or by using the grayhole.tech site and its cloud sync service (together, the “service”), you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the service.
The service is operated by an individual developer. Using it creates no employment, agency, partnership or joint venture relationship.
2. The service
The software is a web clipping tool for desktop Google Chrome and compatible browsers. Its core function is to save content you deliberately select on a web page to your browser's local storage, and to provide organising, searching, exporting and sharing on top of that.
It runs in purely local mode by default and needs no account. Cloud sync is an optional extra, used to align clips across multiple devices or browser profiles.
The software is distributed through the Chrome Web Store. Installation, updating and removal are all handled by Chrome; we no longer publish a standalone download package.
3. Licence and restrictions
Subject to these terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the software on devices you own or control.
The software ships without an open-source licence, so all rights are reserved by default. You may read the source to verify what it does — we encourage that — but without written permission you may not:
- redistribute, sell, rent or sublicense the software, or ship it as part of another product;
- remove or alter copyright notices, brand marks or legal statements in the software;
- offer a commercial hosted or managed service built on the software.
To request any of the above, write to us.
4. Accounts and security
Cloud sync requires an account. You agree to:
- provide a real, working email address — verification and password-reset messages go there;
- keep your password safe. You are responsible for all activity under your account;
- tell us promptly if you find your account has been used without authorization.
Please understand one consequence of the local-first architecture: if you forget your password and lose access to the registered email address, the cloud mirror cannot be recovered. Local data is unaffected and remains in your browser. We recommend exporting a JSON backup regularly.
5. Your content is yours
Rights in the content you clip with the software remain yours or those of the original rights holder. We claim no ownership over your clips.
To provide cloud sync, you grant us a licence strictly limited to operating that feature: to store, transmit and return the clip data you upload. That licence does not include any right to use it for advertising, to train models, or to provide it to third parties. You can end it at any time by deleting your account.
You are responsible for making sure that what you clip and save does not infringe anyone's copyright or other rights, and that your use complies with the law where you are and with the terms of the site the content came from. The existence of a clipping feature is not an authorization to clip anything at all.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the service to:
- collect, store or distribute unlawful content, or content that violates anyone's privacy;
- mass-scan, credential-stuff, auto-register against, or otherwise attack the cloud sync endpoints;
- circumvent the cloud's row-level isolation, or attempt to read another account's data;
- do anything that deliberately degrades the service or makes it unavailable to other users.
If any of the above occurs, we may suspend or terminate your account.
7. Fees and changes
The service is currently free, with no feature walls and no trial period on the full feature set.
We reserve the right to introduce paid items in the future. If we do, we will:
- announce it on this site at least 30 days before it takes effect, and notify existing users by account email;
- guarantee that existing features are not taken away — paid items will cover new capabilities, not move already-free capabilities behind a paywall;
- guarantee that purely local use stays free and available for the foreseeable future, even if you never register an account.
Since no paid items exist today, this site involves no payment processing, refund policy or subscription management.
8. Provided “as is”
The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that:
- the software will capture content correctly on every site and every browser version. Page structure changes, login walls, cross-origin security policy and expired image links can all cause a capture to fail;
- cloud sync will be uninterrupted, timely or error-free. It may become temporarily unavailable for maintenance, third-party outages or capacity limits;
- clips will never be lost during export, import or sync.
Keep your own backups. Uninstalling the extension, clearing site data, switching browser profiles or moving to a new device can all lose local clips. Make a habit of using the JSON export to keep a full backup.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the service — including but not limited to lost data, lost profits or business interruption — whether the claim is based in contract, tort or any other theory, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.
Because the service is currently provided free of charge, our aggregate liability is capped at CNY 100 or the total amount you have actually paid, whichever is greater.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
10. Service changes and termination
You may stop using the service at any time: export your data, uninstall the extension, delete your account. No notice to us is required.
We may modify, suspend or discontinue all or part of the service as operational needs require. If we decide to shut down cloud sync, we will announce it on this site and by email at least 90 days in advance, and keep a reasonable export window open before it closes. Purely local features are unaffected by that.
11. Intellectual property
Rights in the software's code, interface design, the brand name “Gray Hole”, the logo and the site copy belong to us or to the respective rights holders. These terms grant you no trademark rights.
Third-party components that may be included remain the property of their owners and are governed by their own licence terms.
12. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
Any dispute arising from these terms or the service should first be resolved through good-faith negotiation; failing that, it shall be submitted to a competent People's Court.
Cross-border storage: the cloud sync database is located in the western United States (Oregon). By registering an account and using cloud sync, you acknowledge and agree that your email address and clip mirror will be transferred to and stored in that region. If your jurisdiction imposes additional requirements on data leaving the country, please assess for yourself whether to use cloud sync — without an account, every feature runs on your own machine and no data crosses any border.
If you are outside the People's Republic of China, please note that the service is operated by an individual developer based in China, and that we have not adapted the service's content or data handling for any particular jurisdiction.
13. Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms from time to time. Material changes will update the effective date at the top of the page and be posted on the site's home page for at least 14 days. Continuing to use the service after a change takes effect means you accept the revised terms; if you do not accept them, stop using the service and delete your account.
