Terms of Service
Plain-language terms for a free, privacy-first developer tools site. No legalese, no surprises.
Last updated: April 2026
TL;DR
- Free forever. All tools are free to use. No accounts, no paywalls, no limits.
- Your data is yours. Everything runs in your browser. We never see, store, or touch your input.
- Tools provided "as is." We strive for accuracy but verify important results independently.
- Don't abuse the site. No scraping, no reverse-engineering, no malicious use.
- Affiliate links are marked. Some pages include affiliate links. They help keep the site running.
The Service
What CodeBoxTools Is
CodeBoxTools is a collection of free, browser-based developer utilities — including encoders, decoders, converters, generators, and comparison tools. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server.
By accessing or using CodeBoxTools, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
No registration, account, or login is required. Tools are available immediately and without restriction.
Accuracy & Warranties
No Warranty
While we strive for accuracy in every tool, CodeBoxTools is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that tool results are 100% accurate, complete, or error-free. Output accuracy depends on your input and your browser's capabilities.
For critical business, financial, or legal applications, please verify results through alternative means before relying on them.
Limitation of Liability
Liability Cap
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CodeBoxTools and its operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or any damages arising from the use or inability to use the tools — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Because CodeBoxTools is a free service with no fees charged, our total liability for any claim arising from or related to these terms or the service is limited to zero dollars ($0.00).
Intellectual Property
Our Tools
The website, tools, software, design, and all content are the property of CodeBoxTools and are protected by copyright law. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the site without permission.
Your Data
You retain all ownership rights to any data you input into our tools. We do not claim ownership of your data, do not store it, and do not use it for any purpose. All processing happens in your browser — we never see your input or output.
Acceptable Use
Rules of Use
You are welcome to use CodeBoxTools for any lawful purpose. When using the site, you agree not to:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of our tools
- Use automated systems (bots, scrapers) to access the site excessively
- Attempt to disrupt, overload, or interfere with the site's operation
- Use the tools for any illegal activity or to aid illegal purposes
- Copy, redistribute, or resell the tools or site content
We reserve the right to block access for users who violate these terms.
Affiliate Links & Monetization
How We Keep the Lights On
Some pages on CodeBoxTools contain affiliate links to developer tools and services. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. All affiliate links are clearly labeled on the site.
Our affiliate relationships do not influence which tools we build or how they work. We only link to products and services we believe are genuinely useful for developers.
Clicking an affiliate link does not share any of your tool data with the affiliate partner. Once you leave our site, the partner's own terms and privacy policy apply.
Third-Party Links
External Websites
CodeBoxTools may contain links to external websites and services. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party site. Visiting an external link is at your own discretion and risk.
Availability
No Uptime Guarantee
We aim to keep CodeBoxTools available at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The site may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any tool or the entire service at any time without prior notice.
Governing Law
Dispute Resolution
If a dispute arises, we encourage you to contact us first. We will attempt to resolve disputes informally within 30 days.
These terms are governed by the laws of Romania, where the site operator is based. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any legal action must be brought in the competent courts of Romania.
If you are a consumer in the European Union, you also benefit from any mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law in your country of residence. Nothing in these terms affects your rights as a consumer under applicable EU law.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of CodeBoxTools after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Disclaimer
These terms were written in good faith to be transparent about how CodeBoxTools operates. They are not a substitute for professional legal advice. If you have specific legal concerns, we recommend consulting a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction.
