Terms and Conditions
Last updated: May 23, 2026
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to your use of io-tools.com, including its pages, tools, generated outputs, stored features, and related services ("Services"). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms.
1. Use the tools responsibly
IO Tools is provided for everyday utility work such as formatting, converting, testing, previewing, calculating, generating, and cleaning up content. You are responsible for deciding whether a tool result is appropriate for your use case before relying on it.
2. Tool output is not professional advice
Some tools may help with security, finance, engineering, SEO, productivity, or technical inspection tasks. Outputs are provided for convenience and should be reviewed before use in production, regulated, safety-critical, financial, legal, medical, or other high-stakes contexts.
3. Acceptable use
You agree to use IO Tools only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not violate rights, harm other users, overload the site, or interfere with service operation.
4. Prohibited use
- Uploading, generating, or sharing unlawful, abusive, or malicious content.
- Attempting to bypass security controls, rate limits, or access restrictions.
- Using automation, scraping, or request patterns that degrade performance or availability.
- Testing live secrets, credentials, private keys, or confidential data in a way that violates your obligations to others.
- Attempting to attack, reverse engineer, overload, or misuse infrastructure endpoints.
5. Your content
You are responsible for content you paste, upload, generate, save, or share through the Services. If a tool creates a stored result or shareable link, do not submit content that you are not allowed to store or share.
6. Sensitive data
Do not submit passwords, production API keys, private certificates, regulated personal data, trade secrets, or other sensitive material unless you have reviewed the tool behavior and are authorized to use the data in that context.
7. Service changes and availability
We may update, redesign, modify, suspend, or remove tools and features at any time for maintenance, security, legal, quality, or operational reasons. We do not guarantee that every tool, route, stored link, or output format will remain available forever.
8. Security and abuse prevention
We may use validation, logging, rate limits, CAPTCHA, automated protections, blocking, and other controls to protect the Services and other users.
9. Third-party services
Some functionality may depend on third-party providers for hosting, delivery, email, diagnostics, security, or verification. We are not responsible for outages, policy changes, or failures caused by third-party platforms.
10. No warranty
The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not promise uninterrupted operation, error-free results, complete accuracy, security perfection, or fitness for a particular purpose.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, IO Tools and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, data-related, business, or profit-related losses arising from use of the Services.
12. Access restrictions
We may block, restrict, or remove access to the Services or stored content when use appears abusive, unlawful, harmful, or risky to service stability, security, or other users.
13. Updates to these terms
We may revise these Terms as the Services evolve. Continued use of IO Tools after updates means you accept the revised Terms.
