1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing and using lightshot.org, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must discontinue use of this website immediately. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and anyone who accesses lightshot.org.

2. Description of Service

lightshot.org is an independently operated informational website that provides guides, download links, and educational content about the Lightshot screenshot tool developed by Skillbrains. We are not the developer, publisher, or official distributor of Lightshot or any other software featured on this site.

All software referenced on this website belongs to its respective developers and owners. We do not host software files on our servers — we link to official and original distribution sources. All content is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

3. Intellectual Property

All software names, logos, and trademarks — including “Lightshot” and the Lightshot feather logo — belong to their respective owners (Skillbrains). Use of these names on lightshot.org is for identification and informational purposes only and does not imply endorsement.

Original content on this website (articles, guides, descriptions, page designs, and HTML/CSS code) is the property of lightshot.org. You may not copy, reproduce, or redistribute our original content without written permission.

4. Use of the Website

You agree to use lightshot.org only for lawful purposes. You agree not to:

• Use the site in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations
• Attempt to interfere with the site’s operation, security, or infrastructure
• Scrape, crawl, or harvest content from the site without prior written permission
• Use the site to distribute malware, spam, or any malicious content
• Impersonate any person, entity, or organization
• Use automated tools to access the site at a rate that degrades performance for other users
• Circumvent any security or access control measures

5. Downloads and Software

All download links on lightshot.org direct you to external sources — primarily the official Lightshot website at app.prntscr.com and official browser extension stores. We do not host, modify, repackage, or redistribute any software files.

We cannot guarantee the safety, integrity, or availability of software hosted on external websites. You are solely responsible for:

• Verifying the authenticity of any downloaded software
• Scanning files with up-to-date antivirus software before installation
• Reading and agreeing to the software’s own license agreement (EULA)
• Ensuring compatibility with your system (Lightshot supports Windows 7/8/10/11 and macOS 10.7+)
• Backing up your data before installing any new software

We do not provide technical support for Lightshot or any other software. For support, please contact Skillbrains directly through the official Lightshot website. Download links may occasionally become outdated — we make reasonable efforts to keep them current but cannot guarantee availability at all times.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

We make no warranties or representations, express or implied, including but not limited to:

• The accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information
• That the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
• That content is free from viruses or harmful components
• Fitness for a particular purpose
• That download links will function correctly or remain current

We expressly disclaim all warranties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

• Damages arising from any software downloaded through links on this site
• Loss of data, revenue, profit, or business opportunity

This limitation applies whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability shall not exceed zero dollars ($0.00).

8. External Links

lightshot.org contains links to third-party websites and resources, including the official Lightshot website, browser extension stores, Google Analytics opt-out pages, and other external resources. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only.

We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of external websites. We do not endorse and are not responsible for any external sites. You access external links entirely at your own risk. We recommend reviewing the terms and privacy policies of any external site you visit.

9. Advertisements

lightshot.org may display advertisements served through Google AdSense or similar advertising networks. These ads are managed by third-party networks, not by us. We do not endorse any products or services shown in advertisements.

Ad content is determined by the advertising network based on various factors, including your browsing history and interests. Clicking on any advertisement is at your own discretion and risk. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or reliability of third-party advertisements.

10. Content Accuracy and Updates

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate, up-to-date information about Lightshot — including version numbers, features, system requirements, and installation steps. However, Skillbrains may update Lightshot at any time, and details such as version numbers (currently 5.5.0.7), file size (~2.7 MB), or supported operating systems may change.

We cannot guarantee that all information is current at any given time. We reserve the right to modify, update, or remove any content without prior notice. If you find outdated or inaccurate information, we appreciate hearing about it through our Contact page.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any disputes arising from the use of lightshot.org shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be submitted to the appropriate courts of competent jurisdiction.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

16. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of lightshot.org after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

17. Termination

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate your access to lightshot.org at any time, without notice, for any reason — including but not limited to violation of these Terms. All provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including liability limitations, indemnification, and intellectual property clauses) shall survive.
