You may use the Services only for lawful purposes and only in a way that does not violate applicable laws, regulations, contracts, or third-party rights.

You are responsible for the files, content, prompts, data, values, links, settings, or other materials you choose to use with the tools.

This includes responsibility for:

• Having the right to use the files, text, links, or data you provide to the tools
• Using outputs only in ways that are lawful and do not mislead others
• Keeping backups of important materials before processing or converting them

• Attempt to bypass access controls, rate limits, or technical protections
• Upload, create, process, or distribute malware, phishing content, spam, or harmful code
• Infringe intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights
• Misuse outputs in a way that is misleading, harmful, unlawful, or presented as professionally verified when they are not

5. Your Responsibility for Outputs

You are responsible for reviewing all outputs before using or relying on them.

Outputs may contain errors, omissions, formatting changes, conversion issues, compression artifacts, calculation inaccuracies, compatibility issues, or unexpected results.

The tools are utilities, not a substitute for human review or professional advice.

6. Intellectual Property

The Privacy Tools' branding, design, layout, text, code, and original site content are owned by The Privacy Tools or its licensors.

You generally retain any rights you have in your own files, text, inputs, data, and outputs, to the extent applicable. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to use any materials you provide to the tools.

Third-party libraries, frameworks, and services remain the property of their respective owners and may be subject to separate licenses or terms.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may use third-party providers for hosting, analytics, performance monitoring, email/contact handling, security, infrastructure, and software functionality.

The site may also link to third-party websites or resources. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services, websites, content, terms, or privacy practices.

Third-party involvement may include:

• Hosting, analytics, performance monitoring, security, or email/contact handling
• Open-source libraries and frameworks used to make site features work
• External websites or resources linked from the site

8. Service Changes, Suspension, and Discontinuation

We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time.

We may also restrict or block access if we reasonably believe use of the Services violates these Terms, creates security or reliability risks, abuses infrastructure, or may expose us or others to liability.

9. "As Is" and "As Available"

The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

We do not guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, accurate, compatible with every browser or file type, or suitable for your specific purpose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Privacy Tools will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or similar damages, including lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or losses arising from reliance on tool outputs.

Where liability cannot be excluded under applicable law, liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnity

You agree to reasonably indemnify and hold The Privacy Tools harmless from claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your unlawful use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of third-party rights.

This section applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada, and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
