By accessing or utilizing our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you are prohibited from accessing the Service. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and any others who access or use our platform.
02. Service Description
ToolCompanion provides a comprehensive suite of web based utility tools including image compressors, PDF editors, file converters, and design generators that operate primarily on the client side using modern browser technology. While we continually strive to provide highly efficient and accurate tools, we do not guarantee that the Service will be entirely uninterrupted or perfectly meet your specific, individual requirements.
03. Privacy & Security
Your privacy is our core foundation. We prioritize your security by minimizing data transfer and handling:
- The vast majority of our tools process files locally within your own web browser.
- For a few heavy utilities requiring server-side processing, files are securely uploaded, automatically processed, and instantly deleted.
- We do not retain backups, view, or claim any ownership over the files you process using our tools.
04. User Conduct
You agree to use the Service exclusively for lawful purposes. While using ToolCompanion, you are strictly prohibited from:
- Using the platform to create, process, or distribute unlawful, malicious, or harmful materials.
- Attempting to hack, decompile, reverse engineer, or disrupt any underlying code of the Service.
- Overwhelming our infrastructure (such as launching DDoS attacks) or otherwise interfering with the proper functionality of the website.
05. Intellectual Property
The Service itself, including its original content (expressly excluding any user provided files), features, and functionality, are and will remain the exclusive property of ToolCompanion. The ToolCompanion name, logo, visual interface, and custom codebase are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual property laws.
06. Third Party Advertisements and Links
To keep our tools entirely free for users, our Service may feature links to third party websites or display advertisements, specifically including those served by Google AdSense. These third party services are not owned, operated, or controlled by ToolCompanion.
We assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or business practices of any third party websites or advertisers. By using this Service, you acknowledge and agree that ToolCompanion shall not be held responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss allegedly caused by your interaction with such third party content.
07. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided strictly on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. ToolCompanion makes no representations or warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, regarding the continuous availability, accuracy, or reliability of the tools provided. We expressly disclaim all implied warranties, including but not limited to merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
08. Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances shall ToolCompanion, nor its founders, partners, agents, or affiliates, be held liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. This includes, without limitation, any loss of data, profits, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your ability or inability to use the Service.
