Terms and Ethics

Last updated: July 14, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing rectok.app or using the RecTok Telegram bot (@RecTok_Bot), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Ethics. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

2. Description of Service

RecTok is a Telegram bot that attempts to connect to accessible public TikTok live streams, capture the source available to it, and deliver the resulting video file to the requesting user via Telegram. A specific stream, duration, quality level or successful delivery is not guaranteed. RecTok also maintains a public library of recorded streams accessible at rectok.app/library. Core features are free to use; optional paid Premium plans and pricing are described in Section 3.

3. Pricing

RecTok Premium is an optional paid upgrade that raises usage limits to 10 simultaneous recordings, 30 watchlist slots and up to 12 hours per recording, and grants priority processing. Plans are one-time payments in Telegram Stars — no subscription, no auto-renewal. When a period ends, you simply return to the free tier.

991 month
2793 months
5196 months

The price displayed in the bot at the time of purchase is the price that applies. We may change pricing at any time — changes never affect periods you have already paid for.

Payment. All payments are processed by Telegram (Telegram Stars). We never receive or store your payment details.

Activation & withdrawal. Premium activates immediately upon purchase. By completing a purchase you expressly request immediate performance and acknowledge that, where a statutory right of withdrawal applies to digital services, it expires once performance has begun.

Refunds. If Premium is unusable for an extended period due to a fault on our side, contact us — we will extend your plan or refund the affected period in Telegram Stars. If we permanently discontinue the service, remaining prepaid time is refunded pro-rata. No refund is owed where access was terminated for a violation of these Terms. If you report a failed delivery, we will first try to restore or resend any recording that remains technically available. Nothing in this Section limits mandatory statutory remedies available to consumers.

Feature changes. The exact set of Premium features may evolve over time. We will not materially reduce the core value of a plan during a period you have already paid for.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use RecTok to:
  • Record private, restricted, or non-public content
  • Infringe on any third party's intellectual property rights
  • Harass, stalk, or harm any individual
  • Circumvent any technical limitations of the service
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or abuse the service
RecTok is intended for personal, non-commercial use only. Commercial redistribution of recorded content without the rights holder's consent is prohibited.

5. Third-Party Content

Recorded streams consist of content owned by the respective TikTok creators. RecTok does not claim ownership over any recorded content. By recording a stream, you accept full responsibility for ensuring your use complies with applicable copyright law and TikTok's own Terms of Service. RecTok is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in any way connected to TikTok or ByteDance.

6. Public Library

Recordings made through RecTok are stored in a publicly accessible library. If you are a TikTok creator and wish to have a recording removed, contact us at the address below and we will process your request promptly.

7. Service Availability & Limitations

RecTok is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. The service depends on third-party platforms (TikTok, Telegram) that we do not control — platform changes, rate limits, network conditions or blocks can degrade or interrupt the service at any time, without notice. We make no warranty that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free. In particular, we do not guarantee that any of the following will work at any given time or for any given stream:

Recording. Streams may fail to start, be interrupted, end early, or not be recordable at all — for example region-locked, restricted or age-gated streams.

Watchlist auto-recording. A stream may start and end without being detected or captured.

Live notifications. Notifications may arrive late or be missed entirely.

Processing & delivery. Videos may be delayed, split into parts, reduced in quality, or contain visual or audio defects. Capture quality, duration and delivery depend on the source stream, network conditions, TikTok, Telegram and RecTok's processing systems.

Public library. Library entries and search may change or disappear at any time — for example after a takedown request.

Premium priority. Priority processing reduces waiting time under load but does not guarantee specific processing times.

These operational limitations are part of the service's technical nature. They do not exclude mandatory consumer rights where the service fails to meet an expressly agreed feature or applicable statutory requirements. Remedies for Premium are described in Section 3.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, RecTok is provided without additional contractual warranties. This disclaimer does not exclude mandatory statutory guarantees, conformity rights or remedies that cannot legally be limited.

9. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall RecTok or its operators be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including but not limited to loss of data or loss of profits.

10. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the service at our sole discretion, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, third parties, or the service.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
