What StoriesIG Is

Public Content Only
By using StoriesIG, you agree to use it only to access content that has been made publicly accessible by the account owner. You must not use StoriesIG to attempt to access private accounts, bypass privacy settings, circumvent authentication walls, or obtain content that the account owner has not made openly available.
StoriesIG cannot access private content and will not attempt to do so. Any claim that the tool can reveal private account content is false.
Acceptable Use
You may use StoriesIG for lawful personal viewing, journalism, academic research, brand monitoring, and other legitimate purposes consistent with these terms. You must not:
- Use automated bots, scripts, or tools to scrape StoriesIG at a volume that degrades the service for other users.
- Use the service to harass, stalk, impersonate, or target specific individuals.
- Redistribute, resell, or republish results from StoriesIG as a commercial data product.
- Attempt to probe, exploit, or circumvent the technical architecture of the service.

Viewing content through StoriesIG does not transfer any copyright or other rights from the creator to the viewer.
You must not use content viewed through StoriesIG to impersonate a creator, remove attribution, use the creator's likeness or work commercially without permission, or present another person's content as your own.
No Warranties
StoriesIG is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. The availability of content depends on the source platform, the configured provider, and factors outside StoriesIG's control. StoriesIG does not warrant that any particular content will be available, complete, or accurate at any given time.

Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, StoriesIG and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of or inability to use the service.
